00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:08.320
Hi there, in this video,

00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:10.040
we start to talk about the new Grease Pencil up chat.

00:00:10.040 --> 00:00:12.200
The first thing we have to do is

00:00:12.200 --> 00:00:13.120
to add a new one.

00:00:14.120 --> 00:00:16.120
There are two ways to add a new object in Blender.

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:19.440
Using the Add menu on the Viewport menu,

00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:22.000
or press Shft A.

00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:24.920
Search for the Grease Pencil object in the list,

00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:27.320
you will find three options there.

00:00:28.200 --> 00:00:30.120
Blank to add a animatic Grease Pencil object,

00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:35.120
Stroke to add a simple stroke

00:00:35.120 --> 00:00:37.120
that also has some basic colors and layers.

00:00:40.440 --> 00:00:42.920
And a 2D monkey, a drawing sample

00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:44.680
of our beloved Suzanne to play with.

00:00:48.040 --> 00:00:49.680
But what that means to be an object in Blender?

00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:52.680
There are several different object types

00:00:52.680 --> 00:00:54.120
in Blender we often see.

00:00:54.800 --> 00:00:57.040
The most common ones are Meshes to build

00:00:57.040 --> 00:00:58.120
3D geometry.

00:00:59.040 --> 00:01:01.320
There are also Lights, Cameras,

00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:03.200
Armatures and so on.

00:01:04.440 --> 00:01:06.800
Grease Pencil is a new object types

00:01:06.800 --> 00:01:09.120
that allow you to work with 2D strokes

00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:11.000
on the Blender 3D environment.

00:01:14.320 --> 00:01:16.560
Every object type in Blender

00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:19.040
has several modes,

00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:19.560
to edit or work on different aspect.

00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:26.120
Grease Pencil object has its own modes,

00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:28.200
Object,

00:01:28.800 --> 00:01:29.200
Edit,

00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:30.200
Sculpt,

00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:32.440
Draw and Weight Paint mode.

00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:35.800
We'll see every single mode in the next videos.

00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:41.560
Each Blender object is composed of two parts,

00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:44.440
an Object and the Object Data.

00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:47.560
The Object is like the container that

00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:49.680
holds information about the position,

00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:52.040
rotation, and size of the element in the 3D space.

00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:55.920
And also other things like the relation

00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:57.040
with other objects,

00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:59.000
or how it looks in the Viewport.

00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.200
The Object Data is all the components

00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:03.560
that define the object.

00:02:04.440 --> 00:02:06.440
In the case of Grease Pencil,

00:02:06.440 --> 00:02:09.000
the object data are the Strokes, the Layers,

00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:11.440
Vertex groups and Properties.

00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.320
Every object in Blender is linked to

00:02:15.320 --> 00:02:16.120
an object data.

00:02:16.920 --> 00:02:18.200
And a single object data

00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:20.800
may be shared by many objects.

00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:35.440
The Grease Pencil Object has several components

00:02:35.440 --> 00:02:37.920
that define the object data.

00:02:39.040 --> 00:02:41.040
The main component is the Strokes.

00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:43.920
These Strokes are built with two or more

00:02:43.920 --> 00:02:45.800
connected points that define the line path.

00:02:47.040 --> 00:02:49.000
The look and feel of this line is defined

00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:51.040
by the black you are using while drawing.

00:02:52.440 --> 00:02:54.200
Every Stroke belongs to a Layer.

00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:56.920
The 2D layer system works in a similar way

00:02:56.920 --> 00:02:59.120
like in other 2D painting software like

00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:00.320
Create our Gymp.

00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:03.920
Finally the Materials define the color

00:03:03.920 --> 00:03:05.920
and texture of the Strokes and feel,

00:03:06.440 --> 00:03:08.560
which materials can be linked to the

00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:11.120
object and use by one or more Strokes.
