This release aims at extending the existing operators for a more flexible usage. It also supports Blender 4.1 which has some issues with previous add-on versions.


New Features:

  • Fill Tool (Manual): An alternative Draw mode tool similar to the native fill tool, but using Smart Fill as the backend.
  • Polygon Shading (Manual): Generate shadows and lights as editable strokes given a light in the 3D scene. It has a similar visual effect as the Mesh Generation operator, but the whole process is finished within Grease Pencil.
  • A new option of Image Vectorization: To automatically scale the converted image to the active camera region. #36 discusses some potential use cases.

Compatibility:

  • Blender 4.1 is supported now. The following compatibility issues have been fixed in this release:
    • Installing triangle package with Apple Silicon. (Python packages may need to be installed again, since Blender 4.1 upgrades Python from 3.10 to 3.11.)
    • Errors during mesh generation.

Bug Fixing:

  • Smart Fill
    • An issue of slow response in some cases.
    • An issue of errors when the line art layer contains 0-point strokes.
  • An issue that multi-frame operations sometimes generate wrong results in the first frame.

Others:

  • The manual now has offline files for downloads. EPUB and PDF formats are available.
  • Some algorithm descriptions and references are added to the manual.
