Animation

Grease Pencil turns Blender into a 2D animation tool that lives in 3D space. Here's how it works — and why it's the most underrated feature in Blender.

Weight painting is what makes a rig actually deform a mesh properly. Here's the full workflow — from auto-weights to fixing the inevitable shoulder pinch.
