Real-Time 2D To 3D Animation Creation Tool Clay Pencil Released

Since the beginning of November, we've been closely following the development of Clay Pencil, a Geometry Nodes setup built on Blender 4.3's Grease Pencil, allowing one to convert 2D into 3D in real-time. At last, Daniel Martínez Lara has released this eagerly awaited tool to the public, giving everyone the chance to explore its full potential for themselves.

Please note that this is still a very experimental setup, and there are ongoing stability issues with much progress yet to be made. However, it has the potential to be a game changer for artists and animators across various fields, especially for those with limited experience working with rigging systems, like motion designers.

Watch the video above to learn about how Clay Pencil works and check out some previous tests conducted by the artist to showcase its capabilities:
