How I made my Totsukuni no Shoujo Fan Animation in Blender
9Just a short little video I wanted to make and upload for anyone who might be interested in how I went about making my Totsukuni no Shoujo fan animation in Blender. All links to follow or support my art can be found on my link tree here: https://linktr.ee/jaeharuart A short list of the Blender Grease Pencil modifiers and effects I used in this animation can be found here below along with a few notes.
Modifiers:
Time Offset Modifier (to repeat small animation loops based on an input start and end Keyframe. As a side note, the loop effect will ONLY be viewable in the DRAW mode when applied. I spent a lot of time myself thinking it was broken because it wasn't working (being applied in my viewport) in Object mode or any other mode when trying to apply the loop. No one in any video ever mentioned this for some reason.)
Noise Modifier: (for quick wiggly story-book-looking animations).
Lattice Modifier: ctrl+t (to create a lattice mesh over a selected Grease Pencil object for a mesh transform of said object. As a side note make sure you do this to a specific duplicated frame when using it for animation.)
Tint Modifier: I forgot to mention this one but I did use it to change the color of the flowers after making them. This modifier will allow you to change the color of all existing frames, key and in-between.
Effects Modifiers:
Rim: To create a quick colored rim light over your Grease Pencil Object.
Glow: To create a glow, bloom, or emission effect.
Blur: To blur a specific Grease Pencil Object.
