Blender 2.8: Turn your 2D drawing into a 3D model using Grease Pencil (Tutorial trailer)

This tutorial covers a workflow of converting grease pencil sketches/drawings into a real 3D geometry, which could be properly rendered and textured and also exported out of Blender.

This workflow allows staying very suggestive with your 3D modelling, which speeds up the whole process from sketch to final renders.

Topics covered:
Creating a 3D vehicle from a 2D sketch
Eevee real-time engine fundamentals
Creating a 3D creature from a 2D sketch
Suggesting details over the flat surface
Creating 3D foliage using flat drawings

Let's put it this way: if you want to do ONLY concept art, then you absolutely have to buy this course.
If you are a modeler, know that this course will give you some more knowledge about what can be called blocking phase or using blue-Print / ortho images.
From what I could see in the course (which I bought), it's like modeling in VR, but on Blender (which is cool, but not really what you can see in the trailer, which is in my opinion very "catchy").
In fact, when these models have to be texturized or animated on blender, the course loses its usefulness and it becomes obviously necessary to do some retopo, (if not the model itself).
So in the end, for me, it's a 3/5, it's not a scam, but it's not even exactly what it looks like from the trailer ... $ 25 is an incredible price, but it would be appropriate to make users aware of what they're buying.
Thanks anyway for creating this course, and thanks for contributing to the growth of the Blender Community.

just a heads up for people who might download the latest builds, they are changing the brushes system so you might not find the same or all brushes there, maybe in few days or so..so keep in mind that 2.8 is work in progress ;)

I’m definitely buying your full course this weekend.Had to slip it in my budget 😂I need these grease pencil skills.
Keep up the good work. You are amazing

Absolute game changer if used correctly. Not sure if anything out there can touch this. 3D Coat maybe?

Saw some parts of it on your blender-con talk. Good stuff as always Jama! 🐻

Thanks for all the expensive products, it makes free products like blender to advance quite a lot and be a very great contender.

Then there's Maya, that crashes when you try to render a cube.

I'm only doing a webcomic series for my own creation, but one day, I would love to have it animated as some professional pilot short, so the world and some industries can understand the concept and focus of what I'm doing. However, looking at all of these kinds of videos makes me feel like I don't got what it takes to go through this extreme. Still, really enjoyed the video!

Looking foward to this, i didn't know grease pencil was so advanced 👍

[Skbmzic]

Cool!! This is exactly what I wanted!!!

[melbu]

Oh my is a powerful, no fuck that, what am i saying? This is the most amazing feature i've seen doing from a software. Literally what i've always dreamed! As someone who's only capable of drawing in 2D, this is amazing!

Успехов Вам во всём!

Great tutorial Jama! To make it easier to follow along, considering turning on the key casts would be very helpful :)

[mdsanima]

WOW! very nice tutorial. I really like it. Now I following you and like this. Keep going.

[ChudleighDesigns]

Amazing!! Look forward to watching this! What’s the music in the background?

[Chandlerbingeling]

Doesn't 3D Coat have a similiar, maybe even easier and intuitive workflow for that kind of concepting?

[icymndr]

I really wanna try this out... i am new to blender and have the basic knowledge to 3d modeling by now.. but i really wanna try this out... if anyone of you have a bit of time to teach me how this function works correctlly.. than i would really appreciate it.. any help to this new blenderist?

[luisdiego]

Any tutorials like these? Thanks in advance.

[Dhieen]
