Brush radius set to 25px Pencil with strength set to full.3 layers are added by default to GP - Lines, Sketch, and Fills.A light blue color is selected (our preference for rough sketching).Vertex Color is selected by default instead of material.The greasepencil object timeline/keyframes are in the Dope Sheet window.Starts in 2D Full Canvas with TouchNav tab open.It differs from the 2.93 blank 2D animation in the following ways: The other half of this setup is a blender default file to make a new 2D Animation start with the most convenient view available.Īll you need to do is open default.blend then choose File->Defaults->Save Startup File. Check the box next to the addon name to activate (3D View: Only allow pen input).button and choose the touch input filter addon.py file It may not work in general, its an experiment until Blender can distiguish touch from mouse (I've submitted a request). It seems to use a lot of overhead to monitor all mouse/pen events even if they are immediately bypassed, so it may not work with slower tablets. The idea is to prevent your wrist from making accidental strokes while using the pen (Krita has the option to disable touch input). This is a hacky method of blocking out the touchscreen input in the 3d view so only pen strokes are registered. The 'TouchNav' tab should now be visible in the 3D view sidebar. Check the box next to the addon name to activate (3D View: Touch Navigation for 2D animation and tablets).button and choose the blender touch nav addon.py file In Blender 2.8 or above go to Edit->Preferences and choose the Add-ons tab.This is an attempt to give the most convenient startup and workflow possible to get drawing immediately without getting bogged down in the depths of Blender's endless options.
