Blender integrates Toonz sketching with addon!

[Herbert123]

Well, that was fast: Toonz sketching code is now an addon for Blender. And it will most probably become integrated into Blender's core tools as well. Works with a Wacom!

That sure doesn't look like anything I've ever seen in Toonz software.  What makes you think it is Toonz code?

Looks like ordinary Blender Bezier curves - with some kind of 3D "Tube" modifier.

It is a port from OpenToonz freehand drawing.

Changes from OpenToonz

• Support n-dimensions (can be used for calculating a 3D curve & pressure... or other custom-data).
• Replace 2D bound-box handle clamping with vector length clamping.

Now lets port blender's functionality onto opentoonz!

Actually, work on making 2d frame-by-frame animation work in Blender has progressed quite a bit already. It is now possible to draw 2d frames in Blender, and render the strokes in various styles using Freestyle (not yet in the main public release).

And a new cut-out 2d animation addon has been released a short while ago:

Prepare your character in Photoshop, export directly in Blender to animate.Includes sub-frames to switch hands, feet, expressions, etc.
