Frame Animations #

Multiframe Operations #

Grease Pencil has a Multiframe Tool allowing users to draw or edit on multiple frames at the same time. Some of NijiGPen's operators in the Edit mode support this feature. With the Multiframe tool enabled, they are performed on all selected frames, instead of the active frame.

Some operators have options that are only available in the multiframe mode, which are designed for making various animated effects. These options are:

• Falloff option of the polygon Offset and Sweep operators.
• Stop-Motion Animation option of the Mesh Generation operators.
• Animation Sequence option of the Sketch Cleanup operators.

Baking Rigging to Keyframes #

The Bake Rigging to Keyframes button in the Weight Paint mode will disable the armature deformation and convert the bone animations to keyframe animations instead. This will allow users to further modify each frame's strokes.

Currently, this operator is implemented in an inefficient way. Therefore, it may take a long time if the number of strokes or frames is large.
