we are ready to implement the animation: Step 25 – Animate the Mermaid Second 10 / frame 240: mermaid still under water on the left, at maximum rotation to the left (we don’t need a keyframe here) Second 9 / frame 216: mermaid under water on the left, at maximum rotation to the left Second 8.5 / frame 204: mermaid at maximum height, in horizontal position, heading left Second 8 / frame 192: mermaid under water on the right at original rotation, flipped horizontally and further away on the Y axis (again, we don’t see this part of the animation) Stroke.draw_mode = '3DSPACE' # either of ('SCREEN', '3DSPACE', '2DSPACE', '2DIMAGE') Layer = gp.layers.new('Name for new layer', set_active=True)įrame = (5) # frame number 5 ame_set(5) # ensure we'll see the stroke (set to frame 5 below) You can create new GPencil data from scratch too: gp = _pencil.new('My GPencil') Layer.alpha # opacity (fill_alpha for fill opacity)įame_number # frame number of that frame object

Layer = gp.layers # first layer (by index) Point.pressure # tablet pressure (1.0 on mouse input) The GPencil data is hierarchically organized in layers, frames, strokes and points: # Get 1st point of 1st stroke on active frame and layer For future use, you should assume the GPencil data to be associated with the active scene: gp = _pencil There's legacy support for the object level however. From 2.73 on, the active scene is chosen all the time.

With no active object (right after object deletion), the active scene was used instead. Up to Blender 2.72, the active object was used. Scenes and objects can reference a Grease Pencil datablock. Grease Pencil data is stored globally in _pencil.
