Animation Tools¶

Insert Blank Keyframe¶

Référence

Mode: Draw Mode, Edit Mode, Sculpt Mode
Menu: Stroke ‣ Animation ‣ Insert Blank Keyframe (Active Layer) Stroke ‣ Animation ‣ Insert Blank Keyframe (All Layers)
Hotkey: Shift-I

Active Layer: Add a new blank keyframe to the active layer at the current frame. If there is already a keyframe at the current frame, a new blank keyframe will be added on the next frame.
All Layers: When enabled, Blank keyframe will be created on all layers, not only the active one.

Duplicate Active Keyframe¶

Référence

Mode: Draw Mode, Edit Mode, Sculpt Mode
Menu: Stroke ‣ Animation ‣ Duplicate Active Keyframe (Active Layer) Stroke ‣ Animation ‣ Duplicate Active Keyframe (All Layers)

Duplicates the strokes on the last keyframe by copying them to the current frame.

Mode

Active: Duplicate only the active layer.
All: Duplicate all the layers.

Delete Active Keyframe¶

Référence

Mode: Draw Mode, Edit Mode, Sculpt Mode
Menu: Stroke ‣ Animation ‣ Delete Active Keyframe (Active Layer) Stroke ‣ Animation ‣ Delete Active Keyframes (All Layers)
Hotkey: Shift-X

Deletes the last keyframe in the Dope Sheet or the current keyframe if you are on one.

Interpolation¶

Interpolate¶

Référence

Mode: Draw Mode, Edit Mode, Sculpt Mode
Menu: Stroke ‣ Animation ‣ Interpolate ‣ Interpolate
Hotkey: Ctrl-E

Interpolates strokes between the previous and next keyframe by adding a single keyframe. When you are on a frame between two keyframes and press Ctrl-Alt-E a new breakdown keyframe will be added. This way you define the final interpolation for the new stroke.

Sequence¶

Référence

Mode: Draw Mode, Edit Mode, Sculpt Mode
Menu: Stroke ‣ Animation ‣ Interpolate ‣ Sequence
Hotkey: Shift-Ctrl-E

Interpolate strokes between the previous and next keyframe by adding multiple keyframes. A breakdown keyframe will be added on every frame between the previous and next keyframe.

Note

The Interpolate and Sequence tools work better when the strokes in the previous and next keyframes have the same amount of points. For example when there are duplicated strokes on different keyframes only with different location, rotation or scale.

Bake Mesh to Grease Pencil¶

Référence

Editor: 3D View
Mode: Object and Pose Modes
Menu: Object ‣ Animation ‣ Bake Mesh to Grease Pencil…

Converts each frame of a mesh animation within a selected frame range to a Grease Pencil object keyframed strokes. The Bake Action tool computes the final animation of the selected objects with all those modifiers, drivers, and constraints applied, and keyframes the result.

Start Frame, End Frame: Start/End frame for the baking process.
Frame Step: Frame steps for the baking process
Thickness: Strokes thickness.
Threshold Angle: Threshold value that determine the strokes end.
Stroke Offset: Sets offset to separate strokes from filled strokes.
Only Seam Edges: Convert only edges marked as seam.
Export Faces: Convert faces as filled strokes.
Target Object: Select the target Grease Pencil object for the baked animation or a new one if there is nothing yet.
Target Frame: Target destination frame for the baked animation.
Reproject Type: Sets the reprojection type to use for the converted strokes.
