GPSB Grease Pencil Storyboard with Blender

In this storyboard course, we will be focusing on the tool set of Grease Pencil with Blender.Each week, students will learn how to integrate a 2d and 3d workflow. This will allow students to draw more on models, which is a great way to troubleshoot geography issues. We will also be exploring detailed blender functions that relate to storyboarding. Our course will develop 2 portfolio pieces. A chase scene and dramatic scene. We will also examine and discuss how to use asset libraries and efficiency tips.

This course is 10 weeks in duration and meets once per week for 3 hours per meeting.

Each week, the online classes are live at the specified time (PST timezone) in a private GOTO-MEETING classroom. Classes are recorded and students can rewatch via stream for the duration of the term. Class links, teachers notes, class recordings along with homework submission will be hosted on a private class DISCORD. The DISCORD link will be sent approximately 5-7 days prior to your class start date to the registered email address.
