Grease Pencil "Surface" Draw

#Concepting#3D-to-2D

Draw directly on your 3D model.

The Workflow

  1. Shift+A > Grease Pencil > Blank.
  2. In the top toolbar, look for the Stroke Placement usage setting (default is “Origin”).
  3. Change it to Surface.
  4. Set Offset to 0.01.

The Technique

Now, draw with the Grease Pencil tool. Your lines will stick to the surface of your 3D mesh.

  • Draw wires on a robot.
  • Draw grapple points on a wall.
  • Write notes like “Fix This” directly on the model for your modeler.
