Anime explosion in Blender using GreasePencil

Blender #eevee is going to perform awesome combinations with #GreasePencil on #b3d #b2d for this new stylized explosion tutorial. We are going to create an Anime stylized explosion from zero to hero using Blender’s compositor, AE & Natron.

For the past 3 weeks I’ve wondered how possible it was to integrate the dependency graph using EEVEE and GreasePencil objects. The developers are working hard for both of them to be unified in Blender at the stable release of Blender coming up in the following week. Meanwhile there are features that deserve hands-up clapping for what it already accomplished on the Compositor with Cryptomatte and other features using the outliner, main property tabs, and even Cycles’ new nodes and speed.

Just 1 week after the Blender conference (and while it was happening as well) it was announced that the Video Sequence Editor (VSE for shorts) was going to be the next priority target after Blender 2.8 stable release was released for the public. Huge news if you ask me, because it would allow Blender artists to complete their workflow for editing clips directly on Blender. Not that you can’t do it now, but it would represent a huge leap regarding scene management and file sharing (just picture yourself picking up another animator’s animation sequence on the network across offices and refreshing it automatically on the VSE every day; but your cuts are already and timmed by the director). Let’s wait and see.

Back to the main tutorial: This week we are going to go over Blender compositor, After effects & Natron integration. Here’s the Anime Blender Compositing tutorial aimed for the Mid-Advanced Blender users. Next week I will release a new tutorial for the beginners to create an awesome wallpaper, so let me know what you think.

I want this!
