I started playing with the new Fluid simulator in blender and rendered only the particle systems using eevee.

I started rendering animations using eevee

for this animation I created a 3D grid of lines of grease pencil strokes with a python script

For this animation i created two shapes with different materials, that have stroke and fill colors activated

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 :-)

for this animation I animated the drawing of the circular grease pencil strokes themselves

for this animation i used a python scripted grease pencil animation similar to that in my blogpost from yesterday and added a proper blender 3D Object. I rendered the animation with eevee and freestyle

the texture in this animation was created in the shader editor by calculating the color value based on uv coordinates using math nodes

I was asked for a short description on how I achieved the sketchy look of the freestyle lines in my post from yesterday

so here it is:

I activated freestyle line renderings in the Render settings

in the View Layer section I set the LineStyle Strokes from Plain to Sketchy

and added a Spatial Noise Modifier in the Geometry Part of the LineStyle-Section

to make it less aggressive I reduced the Amplitude to 1

this turned the lines from this:

into this:

For this animation I used a freestyle lineset with a noise modifier to emulate a hand-drawn look

I like how it turned out, but I think I will have to make it less subtle the next time, especially when the finale video is running with 600px width like here :-/
