Hi Sean, I have checked that link, and yes, the large proportion of functionality present there is available in some form (specifically, try combining Grease Pencil sketches in the 3D or Image Editors with the relevant mode in the Dopesheet, and with the relevant panels open (to adjust layers/colours/etc.) and all of the basic functionality necessary is present). Sure, we can't exactly have bitmap fills in the current system, but then again, that's starting to encroach on simply being a full-blown 2D animation tool for final output. In that case, a dedicated tool is probably better suited to the job.
>From the context provided in the original mail, it sounds to me like Greeshma was more interested in the basic case - sketching for motion planning - than the full-blown sketch-based 2D animation tool. (Greeshma: Correct me if I'm wrong about this :) Regards, Joshua On Sat, Mar 8, 2014 at 4:44 PM, Sean Olson <[email protected]> wrote: > Joshua, not sure if you clicked his link.
