Grease Pencil Auto In-Between

Auto In-Between Tool for Grease Pencil

Inspired by the auto in-between functionality in Moho Animation Studio and CACANi 2D Animation & Inbetween Software - , this proposal aims to create a similar tool for Blender's Grease Pencil. The goal is to save time and streamline the animation process by automatically generating in-between frames.

Functionality:

• Automatically generate in-between frames based on user-defined settings
• Support for various interpolation methods (e.g., linear, bezier, etc.)
• Adjustable timing and spacing controls
• Option to apply auto-inbetween to specific layers, frames, or entire animations

Benefits:

• Increased productivity and efficiency for 2D animators
• Improved consistency and quality of animations
• Enhanced creativity and experimentation capabilities

Target Audience:

• 2D animators and artists
• Studios and production teams
• Educators and students

Development Requirements:

• Python scripting expertise
• Familiarity with Blender's Grease Pencil API
• Knowledge of animation principles and techniques

Next Steps: If this idea garners sufficient interest and support, the next steps would be:

1. Create a detailed specification and design document outlining the tool's features and functionality.
2. Develop a prototype or proof-of-concept to demonstrate the tool's potential.
3. Collaborate with the Blender community to refine the tool and ensure it meets the needs of 2D animators
