00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:08.080
Object Mode is the default mode

00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:10.080
for all objects in Blender.

00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:12.080
Let's see some basic things

00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:12.480
we can do in Grease Pencil in this mode.

00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:15.480
The basic mode of any object in Blender

00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:16.680
is the Object Mode.

00:00:17.880 --> 00:00:19.880
When you add a Grease Pencil Object,

00:00:19.880 --> 00:00:22.200
can see a dummy marker in its origin.

00:00:23.080 --> 00:00:25.080
This marker allows you to select and

00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:27.200
manipulate the object in the 3D space

00:00:27.200 --> 00:00:28.000
like a whole.

00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:30.800
To start moving your objects,

00:00:30.880 --> 00:00:33.080
you can select the Move tool on the toolbar,

00:00:33.080 --> 00:00:35.000
and move object in the 3D space

00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:36.480
using manipulators for Y,

00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:37.280
X

00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:38.480
or Z axis.

00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:43.800
You can also use G key,

00:00:43.800 --> 00:00:45.680
followed by the key of the axis you want to use,

00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:46.480
to move the object

00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:47.400
Y,

00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:48.280
X,

00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:49.400
or Z.

00:00:54.680 --> 00:00:56.400
You can do the same to rotate,

00:00:58.000 --> 00:00:59.280
or to scale the object.

00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:06.680
For more precise positioning,

00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:08.680
you can use the Transform panel in the sidebar,

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:12.000
or in the Object panel on Properties editor.

00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:20.800
Let's see some basic things that can be done

00:01:20.800 --> 00:01:22.600
with our Grease Pencil Object.

00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:25.200
You can duplicate objects using the operator

00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:27.600
in Object menu or with Shft D key.

00:01:31.800 --> 00:01:34.600
Also, we can duplicate link with Alt D,

00:01:34.600 --> 00:01:36.680
so the new object will share the same object data.

00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:40.280
This way every single change

00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:42.200
you made on any of the linked object

00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:43.680
will be replicated on the others.

00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:51.680
Grease Pencil Object can also be parented

00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:52.480
with other objects.

00:01:52.880 --> 00:01:54.680
Select first the Child objects,

00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:56.800
and last, the Parent object.

00:01:57.600 --> 00:02:00.200
Again, use the menu or the shortcut,

00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:01.080
Ctrl P,

00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:04.800
move, rotate, or scale, on the Parent

00:02:04.800 --> 00:02:06.200
will also affect that Child.

00:02:10.200 --> 00:02:12.080
And of course you can use the new

00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:14.480
Main collections to organize all your object

00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:15.480
in the scene.

00:02:24.200 --> 00:02:26.400
Object mode has its own section in Overlay

00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:28.080
to control the visibility of different tool elements

00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:29.880
of your Grease Pencil Object.

00:02:32.200 --> 00:02:34.400
For example, you can turn on Onion Skin.

00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:36.880
We'll see Onion Skin in more detail later

00:02:36.880 --> 00:02:38.480
when we talk about animation.

00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:41.080
But in Object mode, it could be used

00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:43.280
to see how a whole 2D animation

00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:45.280
is interacting with other objects in the 3D space.

00:02:47.880 --> 00:02:49.880
A usual overlays is Canvas.

00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:52.000
Canvas shows the plane you're using

00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:53.400
while drawing on the 3D space.

00:02:54.200 --> 00:02:56.000
It has several properties

00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:57.800
which you can set up in the Viewport panel

00:02:57.800 --> 00:02:58.880
of the Object Data.

00:02:59.480 --> 00:03:00.280
Like Color,

00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:01.400
Size,

00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:03.000
Offsets,

00:03:03.600 --> 00:03:05.400
and the amount of Grid Subdivisions.

00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:09.600
Last, Play 3D Objects helps to avoid visual confusion

00:03:09.600 --> 00:03:11.480
and spot your drawing more easily,

00:03:11.480 --> 00:03:13.280
if you are working mixing Grease Pencil objects

00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:15.280
and 3D Meshes.

00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:19.600
Other Objects display control can be found

00:03:19.600 --> 00:03:21.600
on Viewport panel and Object Data.

00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:24.280
Let's see the ones related to Object mode.

00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:27.080
Depth Altering controls how the Strokes

00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:28.600
are drawing in 3D space.

00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:30.680
With a default behavior,

00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:33.000
the Strokes are drawing relative

00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:34.000
to other 3D object.

00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:36.800
But if you want, you can put the Strokes

00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:39.000
to be drawing in front or back

00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:40.280
of any other object in the scene.

00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:43.480
With Marker Size, you can change the size

00:03:43.480 --> 00:03:45.880
of the dummy Empty that is used to select the object.

00:03:47.600 --> 00:03:49.680
Last, we can control

00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:51.680
the overall thickness of the entire object

00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:52.680
with Thickness Scale.

00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:54.600
And if you want to keep the stroke thickness

00:03:54.600 --> 00:03:56.680
regardless the zoom factor of the Viewport,

00:03:56.680 --> 00:03:58.680
use Keep Thickness check box.
