Hi
Can grease pencil be used to create an animation path?

Thanks
Blueblott

Not that I'm aware of.

The main purpose of it is to allow artist to sketch out ideas for modeling.

You can however, use the grease pencil to sketch out the line for the path and see how it'll look. It's great for plotting paths and lining them up easily.

Thanks SEspider,

good point using grease pencil to lay a guide for a path.

I have not been able to use curves with any great degree of skill as yet so when i saw grease pencil i thought " ah, here we go this looks a cool easy way and much faster to create a path" lol !

Oh well guess i must practice a lot more with curves.
Thanks for the answer

Welcome.

Curves have many possibilities and I'm still learning them.
If you have anymore questions, then feel free to ask.

I've not used the grease pencil very much. Almost never. So I started looking at it and learned that you CAN in deed covert a grease pencil drawing into a path.

 But I noticed that it may end up adding a lot more points then you may wish.

Thanks for the post. Thought I knew everything about paths. lol

Thanks SEspider very much.

Well there you go. I just thought you would have much finer control over
creating a path in grease pencil** **than with *curves *and faster as well.
But am very new to this . so that is an un informed view lol
Thanks for your help thats very helpful.
