Blender Basics: Annotate Tool

Having the ability to quickly jot down ideas or concept something in Blender is not only damn helpful but unique compared to other 3D applications.

brilliantly concise. Does exactly what it says on tin.

[@StevenScott_studio53]

cheers

[@jeromejooste3493]

Just spent a while figuring out how to use this tool and thenI looked up a few videos to confirm I was on the right track. Must say watching this video was far more fun and amusing then the time I spent figuring out how to use the tool. Thanks.

Clicked for the neat Title and Thumbnail, watched for the accent, stayed for the humor, liked and subscribed for the quality explanation. Keep it up, lad.

[@briticalhit4987]

Epic thanks mate, the annotate tool is self-explanatory to an extent, but I couldn't work out how to hide/unhide my notes, so this was ideal :)

[@lawrencedoliveiro9104]

This is roughly what the “Grease Pencil” used to be in prior Blender versions. Of course, in 2.8x, the actual Grease Pencil has been taken to the next level.

Love it!

In Case Anyone Cares: You can't Undo annotations (like with Ctl-Z), you must use the eraser. Hitting Ctl-Z will undo other stuff you did in your scene.

[@StevenScott_studio53]

Strange I can undo using Ctrl + Z ... 2.82

[@WaterShowsProd]

I never realised the annotate function was so diverse.

[@dunkley7776]

Thanks for this!

[@StevenScott_studio53]

no worries

[@RobertShane]

Is there a shortcut to change the radius of the eraser?

[@mixchief]

Like a video! Tx, Steven. Wish there was a quick shortcut: "delete all damn annotations".

[@RomboutVersluijs]

We cant edit the frames nor their "in front" placement or can we? i noticed when you have an animation it automatically is added per frame, but i can find an keyframes or so connected to it

[@kewa_design]

for me the placement: surface does not work it does not appear or is dotted or is deleting when i turn the view

[@nearless_lot668]

so i tried using this but there were no other annotation options and everything i wrote something, as soon as i let go, it instantly deleted itself

[@LeonErrante]

hey! thanks for the video!. . but what about anotations in VES? . . .greetings :) !

[@drinnerd8532]

Is there no way to increase the thickness of your annotations? I clicked on the "Note" button and the "thickness" option appeared which I then adjusted but it didn't make any difference whatsoever to my annotation. Any ideas, anyone?

[@thieresmachado3D]

Can I change that blue default color? I mean, every time I change the color, if I delete the annotation, it starts again with the blue color. Can I change the color and make it permanent?

[@marekgaramond4198]

File.....Defaults.....Save startup files

[@therealslin]

Is there also a way to move your annotations?

[@rebellious_sarah5465]

How do you get the menu to change to the easer to open? Looks like you mouse clicked however, it won't open the menu for me. I'm running 2.9 and upgraded recently so I'm slowly refinding everything.

[@rebellious_sarah5465]

nvm, it opens only if held down.

[@paperswan]

What is havieah the kilograhmm of annotatiouns or kilograhmm of graAece pencil? (No offence dude XD)

[@subscribetoanegg4035]

Is there a way to edit annoations?

[@graphguy]

What is available that is imbedded to record the Blender session work flow?

[@StevenScott_studio53]

I use obs for recording if that is what you mean?
