grease pencil shape keys , Please !!!!!!
it would be super cool to have Grease Pencil shape keys , with this option it would a lot easier to build 2d Face rigs ore 2D body turn a rounds . i know its is possible with bones but its way to complicated compared to simple shape keys

This has been implemented through the "Interpolate" option. Basically you create your first drawing, copy it to the next frame so all the vertices are the same and then "sculpt the drawing". But by now maybe you are already aware of this ;D
Yeah, i want this too. It would also make for really simple automatic inbetweening.
* @Omgzdenek * Ok, i came to realzation that it may not be feasible to do something like this...
how would shape keys even work with grease pencil frames? you can't interpolate between frames when the grease pencil strokes change on the next keyframe, you would have to somehow link each and every invidual stroke of the animation between each frame which would defeat the purpose of having the shape keys.
I think the only feasible to go about it would be to limit the layer with shape keys to only one frame that would serve as the basis for the shape keys and then proceed to sculpt / edit them into the desired position.
this also brings up another issue, what if you want to add new strokes to that frame? how do you calculate the movement then, when this invalidates the basis frame.
* @Omgzdenek * maybe implement a way to toggle on and off frame by frame animation. so you can have 2 copies of one grease pencil objects. one with frame by frame on and one with just shape keys. so it would be possible to switch between them . ore a head made with just shape keys and only the hair drawn frame by frame for example
* @quincy.cgi * i thought of this too but rather than to toggle it per object, i would toggle it per layer. also turning it off with shapekeys present would have to apply the generated animation. I will be making detailed suggestion post about this at later day.
