NOTE: You’ll have to click the images to play them from my Flickr page. In other words, if you’re working at 720 x 540 pixels (NTSC) in Sketchbook Pro, you’ll want to insure that your Flash stage settings match.īelow are a few rough animations I’ve created using this workflow. Also important: you’ll want to make sure your stage size is consistent. This will place all the frames sequentially on one Flash layer. Make sure “Convert layers to Keyframes” is selected. When you’re importing your Sketchbook Pro file you’ll want to check the visibility for all the frames you plan on importing. Not setting this option will cause your frames to appear pixelated.
Under PSD file importer, you’ll want to check to make sure “Bitmap images with editable layer styles” is checked. Simply create your layered frame sequence in Sketchbook Pro and save it out as a PSD.īefore importing your files into Flash, you’ll want to go into Flash’s preferences first. Sketchbook Pro supports saving files out to PSD format (Photoshop’s native format). It gives your drawings a real “pencil test” feel that you can’t easily replicate within Adobe Flash. The advantage of using Sketchbook Pro is that you have a more nuanced line to work with. Of course, you can import frames into Flash from Photoshop – but an even better solution is drawing and importing your frames from Sketchbook Pro. If you animate, and you’re frustrated with the line quality in Flash, you have options.
Here’s a pro-tip I haven’t seen published anywhere else. We hope that you too will become educated in CG and catch up with the CG industry.Pencil Test Animation using Sketchbook Pro and Flash This course is a great introduction to CG. The Grease Pencil tool is like a typical drawing tool made for Blender. With the development of metaverse, VR, AR, etc., CG is a very dynamic industry. I saw some Blender Grease Pencil animations by Dedouze and got inspired by what the tool seemed to offer.
Using images for coloring (material textures) Two ways to apply the color ( Material & Vertex Color ) * This course is a translation of the Japanese course into English.ĭon't worry if you've never used Blender before,Īs I'll walk you through the installation process. You'll learn by doing, so you'll learn practical skills efficiently.īy the end of the course, you will have mastered the basics of Grease PencilĪnd will be able to create the illustrations and animations you want to draw. There are many free parts of the course, so you should take advantage of it.
Or for those who have tried to learn it once but have fallen behind. This course is an introductory course designed for those who are new to Blender and Grease Pencil,
