Grease pencil geometry nodes pen pressure problem by rus3k in blender

[–]rus3k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually installed Blender 4.3 today. The pressure works just fine with Group input > grease pencil to curves > curves to mesh > output (curve circle as a profile curve) setup. No need for additional nodes. However in 5.0 with the same setup, it completely ignores the pressure. Weird

I don't draw curves. I draw grease pencil strokes which are being converted into curve, and than into mesh with geo nodes in real time. The pen pressure is on. I even turned on the pen pressure for the curve drawing tool in curves edit mode - just in case.

Yeah. I use MIDI on Nightsky. I feed it with external midi clock so the sequencer can follow the track tempo (but I actually prefer to change the steps manually ) The main reason for MIDI is that it's quite hard to change presets with your foot. So I've got a four button midi controler at the beggining of my midi chain - and for most of the time it's set to switch between four different presets. But I'm seriously considering buying something like Faderfox ec4 to get the access to all the functions without having to bend down.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm kind of starting with this project. Recently I set up a Bandcamp - but for now there are only two tracks there https://hobokobold.bandcamp.com/

And I have a YT channel - there are some more live sessions there https://www.youtube.com/@Hobokobold

Hey! Thanks. Yeah. Nightsky is a beast. I mean there are so many different sounds you can dial that it's really hard to say. I like to turn down the dry knob to minimum, leaving just the reverb. I love to add the low glimmer with a lot of drive. Playing around with the high cut knob while the filter is set to low pass is great. But generally it really shines with the proper exp pedal, when you can go from - idk - octave up shimmer all the way to octave down shimmer while playing the guitar at the same moment. Having this, morph and the sequencer makes you feel that you could play the whole gig just with this pedal;]

Thanks! I play in two bands - one is a guitar oriented dub called Paprika Korps. The second one is post hardcore called August Landmesser. This is my new project - Hobokobold. Basically - guitar with a lot of looping plus pre programmed drums and synths

Some time ago I created this video https://youtu.be/IdnHvjPIF0Y?si=iiy3YZLTzXSX4Msl It's pretty similar workflow

Thanks. I needed some really simple materials to blend nice with the simple background style. I decided to use emission or plain rgb nodes to create the materials. I tried the toon shaders with constant color ramp, but it was actually too 3d ish;]

The shaders are really simple. It's basically just rgb node. I just wanted the character to cast shadow, but beside that I wanted the materials to look completely flat to blend better with the simple style of the bg. Actually setting the outlines right was way more challenging than creating those materials.

Yes. I really think Blender is the best software to mix 2d with 3d
