grease pencil experiment 4 - depth of field

Nikolaus Gradwohl2019-07-13T10:01:15+00:00

While experimenting with grease pencil animation scripted in python, i recognized that the grease pencil shapes also affect the depth map - so they can be used to change the DoF using the defocus node in the compositor. I was really pleasantly surprised - this opens a whole lot of new possibilities :-)

scripted grease pencil animation experiment 1

Nikolaus Gradwohl2019-07-10T05:09:18+00:00

i recently read an article by Alex Martinelli about scripting the grease pencil objects in blender 2.8 (available here) and had to try this myself. I haven't used the grease pencil system in blender much so far, but now that I can use it to script in 3D I will definitly do more experiments with it.
