About Grease Pencil From Mesh

Grease Pencil From Mesh, developed by Sahin Ersoz, converts mesh geometry into 3D Grease Pencil objects or, in the Pro builds, into Curves. The add‑on filters edges to retain sharp edges, intersections and outlines of curved surfaces, and can selectively process edges marked Crease, Sharp or Freestyle. It translates mesh material colours to Grease Pencil strokes and can also render shadows and highlights in the ProS tier. Stroke stylisation options include wobble noise, random thickness, edge offset and multi‑line generation, producing natural‑looking strokes. The tool supports frame‑by‑frame animation conversion and Text Object conversion. It runs on Blender 3.1 – 5.1 and is released under the GPL licence. Free, Pro and ProS builds differ in feature set, with the paid tiers adding intersection lines, curved‑surface outlines and shadow/highlight rendering.

Features

• Mesh-to-Grease Pencil conversion with edge filtering for sharp edges, intersections and curved surface outlines
• Selective conversion of edges marked Crease, Sharp and Freestyle
• Full color conversion of mesh materials into Grease Pencil colors, with shadow and highlight conversion
• Stroke stylization via edge noise (wobble), random thickness, edge offset and multi lines
• Automatic natural looking strokes that start and end as an artist would draw
• Frame-by-frame animation conversion, Text Object conversion and Curves output

Best for

Blender artists who need to turn 3D meshes into Grease Pencil objects or Curves, especially when stylised strokes, material colour conversion, or animation frame conversion are required.
