WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.320 Hello and welcome to this workshop about stylized rendering using brushstrokes. 2 00:00:04.700 --> 00:00:09.480 In this video series, I want to walk you through how to use the brushstroke tools 3 00:00:09.481 --> 00:00:11.780 that we just released with the Blender Studio. 4 00:00:12.120 --> 00:00:16.320 It's a free extension that you can get from the extensions platform or download 5 00:00:16.321 --> 00:00:19.580 directly from within Blender itself in the user preferences. 6 00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:22.800 You're going to need Blender 4.2 and up for that to work. 7 00:00:23.140 --> 00:00:28.320 But before we dive deep into the details of how to layer brushstrokes using the 8 00:00:28.321 --> 00:00:31.914 addon to create this scene, let me give you a quick start on 9 00:00:31.915 --> 00:00:35.500 how to navigate the UI and get started using it right away. 10 00:00:36.160 --> 00:00:40.260 So first of all, when opening the example file, you're going to notice that you 11 00:00:40.261 --> 00:00:43.220 don't actually need the addon to inspect the file. 12 00:00:43.680 --> 00:00:47.740 The way that it is set up by default, the addon will make sure that all of the 13 00:00:47.741 --> 00:00:51.200 resources it uses are appended into your blend file. 14 00:00:51.540 --> 00:00:56.260 So if you use the file to send it to someone else, it will always just contain 15 00:00:56.261 --> 00:00:59.020 all of the data necessary for the style to work. 16 00:01:00.080 --> 00:01:02.437 But to actually make changes, it's a lot more 17 00:01:02.438 --> 00:01:05.381 convenient if you have the addon installed. 18 00:01:05.600 --> 00:01:07.260 So let's do that first of all. 19 00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:10.660 While recording this video, the addon is not actually released yet. 20 00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:14.540 But eventually, once that is the case, when you are watching this, you will be 21 00:01:14.541 --> 00:01:19.800 able to just navigate to the get extensions tab in the user preferences and 22 00:01:19.801 --> 00:01:23.069 then search for brushstroke tools and install the addon 23 00:01:23.070 --> 00:01:27.240 from within blender right away if you enabled online access. 24 00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:31.240 In case you can't or don't want to have online access from within blender, 25 00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:36.360 you can also just navigate to the extensions platform and download the addon 26 00:01:36.361 --> 00:01:39.340 directly from there and then install it as a zip file. 27 00:01:39.880 --> 00:01:42.021 Since the addon isn't actually released yet, 28 00:01:42.022 --> 00:01:44.000 that's also exactly what I'm going to do. 29 00:01:44.160 --> 00:01:46.732 You can very easily do that by downloading the 30 00:01:46.733 --> 00:01:49.100 zip and then drag and dropping it into blender. 31 00:01:49.101 --> 00:01:54.340 There you can select the repository that it should be installed in and just press OK. 32 00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:56.553 And now you can see right away that a user 33 00:01:56.554 --> 00:01:59.681 interface popped up on the right of the screen. 34 00:01:59.820 --> 00:02:03.040 So let's take a look at the different elements that we can see there. 35 00:02:03.420 --> 00:02:07.760 You will always be able to find the user interface for the brushstroke tools addon 36 00:02:07.761 --> 00:02:10.203 in the properties panel on the right of the 3D 37 00:02:10.204 --> 00:02:13.260 viewport, which you can open by pressing the N key. 38 00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:15.960 And then it presents you with a bunch of different settings. 39 00:02:16.460 --> 00:02:19.098 In this case, we already have a user interface 40 00:02:19.099 --> 00:02:21.861 for existing brushstrokes that we can navigate. 41 00:02:22.020 --> 00:02:26.920 Depending on what object I have selected in the 3D viewport, I get a list of all of 42 00:02:26.921 --> 00:02:30.360 the corresponding brushstroke layers to the object I selected. 43 00:02:30.660 --> 00:02:34.102 If I select this wall here, for example, you can see that 44 00:02:34.103 --> 00:02:38.460 there is a stone surface layer, a spots layer and a moss layer. 45 00:02:39.140 --> 00:02:43.040 And within this list, I can select them individually as well. 46 00:02:43.041 --> 00:02:48.340 The surface object that is associated with these individual brushstroke layers is 47 00:02:48.341 --> 00:02:51.100 shown at the top of the panel with the surface icon. 48 00:02:51.500 --> 00:02:54.660 In this case, it's the wall stones object. 49 00:02:55.160 --> 00:02:59.300 So every brushstrokes layer always has a surface that it is attached to. 50 00:02:59.900 --> 00:03:01.540 But let's zoom out for a second. 51 00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:06.280 At the very top right of the panel, we have two buttons with the screen icon. 52 00:03:06.900 --> 00:03:09.792 We can use these to disable and enable all of 53 00:03:09.793 --> 00:03:12.320 the brushstroke layers in the entire scene. 54 00:03:12.321 --> 00:03:15.340 So let's take a look at this file without any brushstrokes. 55 00:03:15.820 --> 00:03:17.460 As you can see, there's a big difference. 56 00:03:17.600 --> 00:03:19.683 So most of what we've been looking at was actually 57 00:03:19.684 --> 00:03:22.400 brushstroke layers that have been created using this add-on. 58 00:03:22.500 --> 00:03:25.360 We can get them back by pressing the enable icon. 59 00:03:25.940 --> 00:03:30.660 At this point, I should also mention that for a brushstroke heavy scene like this, 60 00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:33.500 the add-on is quite computationally intensive. 61 00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:36.579 So unfortunately, it does require a certain 62 00:03:36.580 --> 00:03:39.541 level of hardware to be able to run it smoothly. 63 00:03:39.620 --> 00:03:42.245 But for simple cases, you should be able to make it work 64 00:03:42.246 --> 00:03:45.020 with your hardware as well, even if it's not that powerful. 65 00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:49.700 But for now, I'm going to just put that out as a disclaimer and assume that your 66 00:03:49.701 --> 00:03:52.860 hardware is powerful enough to handle this kind of use case. 67 00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:57.200 So now that you've seen how much of the scene is actually made up of brushstrokes, 68 00:03:57.500 --> 00:03:59.260 let's try to navigate it a bit better. 69 00:03:59.660 --> 00:04:03.060 As I already mentioned, brushstrokes are always attached to a surface. 70 00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:07.020 And you can see the list of the corresponding ones right here in the user interface. 71 00:04:07.600 --> 00:04:10.964 You also get control over the visibility settings 72 00:04:10.965 --> 00:04:14.081 and even their names using this user interface. 73 00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:18.920 Since these brushstrokes are very likely to cover your entire scene, it becomes a 74 00:04:18.921 --> 00:04:21.440 bit more difficult to actually select the 75 00:04:21.441 --> 00:04:23.860 underlying surface object in the 3D viewport. 76 00:04:24.020 --> 00:04:27.820 For this reason, there is a small surface button right here that will select the 77 00:04:27.821 --> 00:04:30.780 surface object of the brushstrokes that you have selected right now. 78 00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:34.040 If you want to move your object, for example, you shouldn't do that to the 79 00:04:34.041 --> 00:04:39.121 brushstrokes themselves, but to the surface object, which they are parented to. 80 00:04:39.320 --> 00:04:44.740 Next to that, there's a big edit button to edit the current brushstroke layer and a 81 00:04:44.741 --> 00:04:48.580 toggle to automatically jump into edit mode whenever you select one. 82 00:04:49.280 --> 00:04:53.460 This just makes your drawing workflow simpler, but by default it's turned off. 83 00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:56.523 And then up here you have some additional settings, for 84 00:04:56.524 --> 00:05:00.400 example, to duplicate a brushstroke layer or to delete it. 85 00:05:00.880 --> 00:05:03.840 Some additional operators are in this drop -down menu here. 86 00:05:04.400 --> 00:05:07.307 I skipped over it so far, but how do we actually 87 00:05:07.308 --> 00:05:10.321 create a new brushstroke layer in the first place? 88 00:05:10.760 --> 00:05:13.160 Let me use this cube object as an example. 89 00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:18.680 When there are no brushstrokes associated to an object yet, this whole panel here is 90 00:05:18.681 --> 00:05:22.020 empty, and instead you are just presented with these two buttons. 91 00:05:22.460 --> 00:05:25.940 As you can see, the surface object we have selected right now is the cube, 92 00:05:26.280 --> 00:05:30.520 and then we can either choose to add a fill or a draw brushstroke layer. 93 00:05:31.900 --> 00:05:36.640 Fill will scatter a bunch of brushstrokes over the surfaces that you have selected. 94 00:05:37.200 --> 00:05:40.860 And as you can see, it automatically creates the brushstroke layer with a name 95 00:05:40.861 --> 00:05:44.920 that is based on the base object that we used and brushstrokes. 96 00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:48.760 Creating a new layer also automatically puts us into edit mode. 97 00:05:49.140 --> 00:05:52.024 When I now press the draw button, it will 98 00:05:52.025 --> 00:05:54.681 instead create a new draw brushstroke layer. 99 00:05:54.980 --> 00:05:58.540 These two different types are fundamentally different, and the draw 100 00:05:58.541 --> 00:06:01.219 layer on its own doesn't add any brushstrokes yet, 101 00:06:01.220 --> 00:06:03.780 until we actually start drawing on top of the cube. 102 00:06:04.260 --> 00:06:09.640 For drawing, the addon comes with its own custom brushstroke draw tool that gives 103 00:06:09.641 --> 00:06:13.393 you the ability to choose a color for each curve that you 104 00:06:13.394 --> 00:06:16.440 draw in that is taken up by the brushstroke automatically. 105 00:06:19.840 --> 00:06:25.360 And similarly to the drawing of the actual draw brushstrokes layer, you can also 106 00:06:25.361 --> 00:06:29.450 control the fill layer by pressing the edit flow 107 00:06:29.451 --> 00:06:32.721 button and then drawing in a flow direction. 108 00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:35.667 Now since I did this on a cube, there is not 109 00:06:35.668 --> 00:06:38.181 a lot of surface resolution to work with. 110 00:06:38.220 --> 00:06:41.409 So let's quickly select the surface object, go into 111 00:06:41.410 --> 00:06:44.160 edit mode and give this cube a bit more resolution. 112 00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:50.101 Since the whole setup is procedural, you can go in and do that at any point in time. 113 00:06:50.860 --> 00:06:55.240 And now if I go back clicking on edit flow, you can see that we have pretty 114 00:06:55.241 --> 00:06:57.958 precise control over control over navigating 115 00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:01.121 the flow of the brushstrokes on the cube. 116 00:07:01.980 --> 00:07:06.238 This way we can fill in the surface with a lot of precise control 117 00:07:06.239 --> 00:07:09.420 a lot more quickly than having to draw everything manually. 118 00:07:10.220 --> 00:07:13.980 For the new layers that you're creating, there are also some advanced settings. 119 00:07:14.320 --> 00:07:16.440 I'm not going to go over those in detail now. 120 00:07:16.820 --> 00:07:19.019 Usually you should be fine keeping them as 121 00:07:19.020 --> 00:07:21.180 they are, or you can look at the documentation. 122 00:07:21.181 --> 00:07:25.900 So let's get rid of the cube and take a look at the existing brushstroke layers 123 00:07:25.901 --> 00:07:29.100 instead, to look at the remaining parts of the user interface. 124 00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:33.780 When you have a brushstroke layer selected, below you see three different 125 00:07:33.781 --> 00:07:36.360 tabs of settings for this brushstroke layer. 126 00:07:36.760 --> 00:07:41.020 The shape tab represents the modifiers that are on your brushstroke object. 127 00:07:41.540 --> 00:07:46.060 You can find the same ones in the actual properties panel as well, but here they 128 00:07:46.061 --> 00:07:48.880 are presented in a more convenient and simplified way. 129 00:07:48.881 --> 00:07:53.960 This brushstroke layer here has two geometry nodes modifiers with a bunch of 130 00:07:53.961 --> 00:07:56.520 different settings that are organized in panels. 131 00:07:57.060 --> 00:08:01.460 I won't go over all the individual ones, but usually they should be pretty 132 00:08:01.461 --> 00:08:03.140 intuitive to understand, and all have 133 00:08:03.141 --> 00:08:05.420 descriptions for you to read up on what they do. 134 00:08:05.820 --> 00:08:07.538 And you can always just play around and see 135 00:08:07.539 --> 00:08:10.141 what happens when you change the parameters. 136 00:08:10.280 --> 00:08:15.100 By default, this presents you a simplified view with only the more important 137 00:08:15.101 --> 00:08:20.720 settings, but to get a full overview of this modifiers capabilities, you can 138 00:08:20.721 --> 00:08:24.140 toggle the UI option setting at the top right here. 139 00:08:24.380 --> 00:08:26.391 This will show you that there's actually more 140 00:08:26.392 --> 00:08:28.420 to this modifier stack than we've just seen. 141 00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:33.266 On the right, you can pin and unpin modifiers, panels, and 142 00:08:33.267 --> 00:08:36.780 individual settings to remove them from the user interface. 143 00:08:37.180 --> 00:08:39.934 By default, there are actually a bunch of panels that 144 00:08:39.935 --> 00:08:42.100 are not shown when you add a new brushstroke layer. 145 00:08:42.101 --> 00:08:47.420 For example, there is a more advanced stroke culling panel that can be used to 146 00:08:47.421 --> 00:08:51.940 remove brushstrokes outside of the camera view, and you can just press this pin 147 00:08:51.941 --> 00:08:55.640 button to show the panel and its individual settings inside. 148 00:08:56.040 --> 00:08:59.900 Now, to get rid of this extra information again, you can just press this toggle, 149 00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:05.400 and now only the pinned panels and properties are shown in this interface. 150 00:09:05.920 --> 00:09:11.180 Next, to the shape tab to change the modifier settings, there is the material tab. 151 00:09:11.181 --> 00:09:14.754 In the material panel, you control over all the different 152 00:09:14.755 --> 00:09:17.640 settings that make up the material of the brushstrokes. 153 00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:21.460 At the top, you can see the material that is used by the brushstroke layer. 154 00:09:21.940 --> 00:09:24.787 Multiple brushstroke layers can share the same 155 00:09:24.788 --> 00:09:27.801 material, so make sure to keep an overview of that. 156 00:09:27.880 --> 00:09:31.820 All the settings below are regarding the material that is selected here. 157 00:09:32.060 --> 00:09:34.760 At the top, you can select the color of the material. 158 00:09:35.020 --> 00:09:39.140 By default, this is set to use the brushstroke color, which is given either 159 00:09:39.141 --> 00:09:44.380 by you drawing them in or from the color panel in the shape tab. 160 00:09:44.800 --> 00:09:47.570 But instead, to make it easier, you can also disable 161 00:09:47.571 --> 00:09:50.780 this checkbox and then choose the color directly in here. 162 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:55.940 To make the brushstrokes look a little bit non-natural, you can add some variation to 163 00:09:55.941 --> 00:09:59.300 the color for each individual stroke to make it less uniform. 164 00:09:59.920 --> 00:10:03.450 Then you can control other PBR parameters for the 165 00:10:03.451 --> 00:10:07.780 opacity of the brushstrokes, metalness, roughness, etc. 166 00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:11.660 You can use these to represent different materials with your brushstrokes. 167 00:10:12.020 --> 00:10:15.412 Besides all of these fundamental material properties, 168 00:10:15.413 --> 00:10:18.840 you have also the brush style and the effects tab. 169 00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:20.560 Let's look at the brush style. 170 00:10:20.940 --> 00:10:23.080 First up, you get a preview of the texture 171 00:10:23.081 --> 00:10:25.340 that is used for the brushstrokes right now. 172 00:10:25.980 --> 00:10:27.880 And you can select different textures. 173 00:10:28.340 --> 00:10:31.740 Right now, there are no results found because we just enabled the add-on. 174 00:10:31.980 --> 00:10:34.612 When I press this button to refresh, you can see 175 00:10:34.613 --> 00:10:37.400 that there is a list of pre -installed texture sets. 176 00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:38.760 Let's choose a different one. 177 00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:42.360 You can see how the preview changes and also the look in the 3D viewport. 178 00:10:42.860 --> 00:10:47.640 Here are some basic settings to control how exactly the texture looks. 179 00:10:48.020 --> 00:10:53.200 Besides these scans of hand-painted brushstrokes, there's also a default texture. 180 00:10:53.700 --> 00:10:56.320 This one is a procedurally generated brushstroke mask. 181 00:10:56.880 --> 00:10:59.160 And because of that, you get a bunch more parameters. 182 00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:02.260 But at the same time, it looks less realistic as well. 183 00:11:02.261 --> 00:11:04.560 Let's go back to the one we had in the beginning. 184 00:11:05.820 --> 00:11:09.515 This curve here gives you some basic control over the opacity 185 00:11:09.516 --> 00:11:11.980 and how it is applied to the texture of the brushstroke. 186 00:11:12.880 --> 00:11:16.480 By using a combination of different brushstroke layers with different 187 00:11:16.481 --> 00:11:19.245 textures, you can create all sorts of styles and 188 00:11:19.246 --> 00:11:21.680 communicate different structures in the material. 189 00:11:22.260 --> 00:11:24.340 The effects also help with that. 190 00:11:25.340 --> 00:11:28.359 On this layer, there's already the fade effect turned 191 00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:30.840 on, which makes everything look a bit more soft. 192 00:11:30.841 --> 00:11:33.577 If I turn that off, you can see how the outsides 193 00:11:33.578 --> 00:11:35.720 of the brushstroke are a bit more harsh. 194 00:11:36.180 --> 00:11:39.116 All these effects that can be toggled for a material can be 195 00:11:39.117 --> 00:11:42.400 used for different kinds of looks and have their own settings. 196 00:11:42.920 --> 00:11:47.540 A canvas, for example, can be used to help communicate a fabric material. 197 00:11:48.400 --> 00:11:50.740 They can also be stacked on top of each other. 198 00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:56.040 This third tab lets you control additional settings over the brushstroke layer. 199 00:11:56.041 --> 00:12:01.340 For example, you can toggle on additional more advanced functionality, like drawing 200 00:12:01.341 --> 00:12:04.154 on a deforming surface like a character in a 201 00:12:04.155 --> 00:12:08.221 shot, or animating the brushstrokes over time. 202 00:12:08.260 --> 00:12:10.506 I've briefly already shown it before, but let 203 00:12:10.507 --> 00:12:13.001 me quickly show you the draw operation again. 204 00:12:13.580 --> 00:12:17.460 The moss on these rocks, for example, here is made from a draw layer. 205 00:12:17.640 --> 00:12:21.040 When I click the edit brushstrokes button, that puts us 206 00:12:21.041 --> 00:12:23.860 into edit mode and selects the brushstrokes draw operator. 207 00:12:23.861 --> 00:12:27.660 So here we can control a bunch of different settings, like for example using 208 00:12:27.661 --> 00:12:30.078 the pressure of the stylus for the radius, as 209 00:12:30.079 --> 00:12:32.380 well as the color that we want to draw with. 210 00:12:32.620 --> 00:12:37.000 Here you can see the moss is made up of all these curves under the hood. 211 00:12:37.540 --> 00:12:39.860 And we can easily draw in another one right here. 212 00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:43.380 And then these fuzzy brushstrokes pop up in the color that we chose. 213 00:12:45.500 --> 00:12:49.680 Just like a fill layer, the draw layer also has shape properties. 214 00:12:50.340 --> 00:12:54.260 So here on top of the curve that we've drawn in, there are a bunch of 215 00:12:54.261 --> 00:12:58.320 procedurally generated duplicates of the stroke that are spread out over the 216 00:12:58.321 --> 00:13:01.480 surface and have a noise applied to them to make it more fuzzy. 217 00:13:01.780 --> 00:13:04.580 And that way we get this look of the fuzzy moss. 218 00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:09.140 That makes it very easy to quickly sketch in where the moss should appear. 219 00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:14.440 When clicking the edit button on a fill layer, you get 220 00:13:14.441 --> 00:13:17.180 to draw in the flow like I've also shown you before. 221 00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:19.864 But another way of setting the flow is doing 222 00:13:19.865 --> 00:13:22.180 it directly in the surface object itself. 223 00:13:22.181 --> 00:13:27.940 On this rock here for example, if I select the surface and go into edit 224 00:13:27.941 --> 00:13:30.802 mode, I can select these edges and then mark 225 00:13:30.803 --> 00:13:33.220 them to define the flow of the brushstrokes. 226 00:13:33.580 --> 00:13:39.680 This add-on comes with a pie menu on Ctrl -Alt-F that gives you the operators to 227 00:13:39.681 --> 00:13:43.280 mark parts of the geometry directly so that the brushstrokes can use it. 228 00:13:43.420 --> 00:13:46.220 For example, we can mark these edges as flow. 229 00:13:46.580 --> 00:13:50.040 And now you can see that the brushstrokes are all following this exact direction. 230 00:13:50.041 --> 00:13:55.100 One important thing to mention about the use of this add-on as a prerequisite is 231 00:13:55.101 --> 00:14:00.380 that your meshes that you're applying the brushstrokes to need to be UV unwrapped. 232 00:14:00.540 --> 00:14:04.060 There really isn't much of a high requirement for these UVs though. 233 00:14:04.340 --> 00:14:08.160 They only need to exist and be somewhat reasonable. 234 00:14:08.560 --> 00:14:12.460 In most of the cases, it will be enough to do an auto-unwrap. 235 00:14:12.640 --> 00:14:18.580 But this also means that you cannot simply just expect to be able to use these 236 00:14:18.581 --> 00:14:23.260 brushstroke tools on generated geometry with constructive modifiers. 237 00:14:23.700 --> 00:14:27.715 For example, the mesh coming out of a skin modifier or a 238 00:14:27.716 --> 00:14:32.840 solidifier modifier does not automatically have usable UVs. 239 00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:38.063 So usually, just apply these modifiers and do a simple automatic 240 00:14:38.064 --> 00:14:40.781 UV unwrap before you get started with the brushstrokes. 241 00:14:41.800 --> 00:14:45.580 The last thing I quickly want to go over are the add-on's user preferences. 242 00:14:45.581 --> 00:14:48.316 Now usually, you probably won't have to adjust 243 00:14:48.317 --> 00:14:50.720 these, but I still want to mention them. 244 00:14:50.940 --> 00:14:55.260 By default, all of the assets used by the brushstrokes add-on are appended into your 245 00:14:55.261 --> 00:14:59.820 file and the textures are packed so that you don't rely on the outside resources. 246 00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:04.880 If you want to, you can instead link all of the data from the resource directory. 247 00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:10.160 That resource directory is the add-on directory, so if you're working on a 248 00:15:10.161 --> 00:15:14.047 production, I would recommend you to choose another custom 249 00:15:14.048 --> 00:15:17.980 path that you can relatively link to from your project file. 250 00:15:20.300 --> 00:15:23.030 After selecting the path, you need to actually copy 251 00:15:23.031 --> 00:15:25.341 all of the resources into the target directory. 252 00:15:25.560 --> 00:15:27.200 You can use this operator to do so. 253 00:15:27.500 --> 00:15:29.958 Make sure to get this set up right before you start 254 00:15:29.959 --> 00:15:32.960 using the brushstrokes add-on for your specific project. 255 00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:36.938 After changing the directory, you should also press this button 256 00:15:36.939 --> 00:15:39.680 to reload all of the brush styles from the right resource. 257 00:15:39.681 --> 00:15:43.800 In the future, we're going to make it easier to make your own custom brush 258 00:15:43.801 --> 00:15:47.620 styles and we want to also provide some more from our own end. 259 00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:50.420 So here is where they are going to pop up. 260 00:15:50.580 --> 00:15:53.600 Alright, so that's a basic overview of the add-on. 261 00:15:53.920 --> 00:15:56.236 Now, if you want to, you can just take this 262 00:15:56.237 --> 00:15:58.380 information and play around with it yourself. 263 00:15:58.760 --> 00:16:03.700 I did my best trying to implement it as intuitively as possible, but a general 264 00:16:03.701 --> 00:16:06.500 knowledge of how Blender works is definitely recommendable. 265 00:16:06.501 --> 00:16:10.660 I still recommend you to check out the rest of this video series, where I'm going 266 00:16:10.661 --> 00:16:14.511 to go over a wide range of details on how to use the 267 00:16:14.512 --> 00:16:17.560 brushstroke tools extensions to create this little scene.
