Blender Secrets - Use BSurfaces with Grease Pencil to sketch geometry

You can use Grease Pencil as a guide for retopology with the BSurfaces add-on that comes with Blender, just like you can with Annotation as shown in the previous video. It’s also suited for quickly creating geometry that you can then use as a base mesh for example. It has a few more functions than the Annotation tool, like Stroke stabilization and Stroke placement settings.

This addon is helpful as hell, I've been retopologizing stuff just for fun, and also adding thing like clothes and details has become so easy to me.

Very cool. Someone needs to do a video like this for each add-on, just so everyone knows what's out there.

Hi, I was wondering how you make your youtube shorts using a desktop?

[TauranusRex]

Ok...i start crying now. The ore i learn here, the more i know, that i know nothing :D

[NaqashAfzal]

Can I use your video as shorts on my channel?

[pile]

In the past we could call this "skinning".

[eitantal]

no magic here. Lines turn into a grid. If your mesh is more complicated than that, this tool can at best, give you a starting point
