I placed the camera on a certain position and want to start drawing with the grease pencil, but the lines appears somewhere else. Sure I can move them in front of the camera but I want it to be aligned correctly.

Someone asked here a similar question but it doesn't work for Blender 2.9. anymore. Attach the grease pencil to the camera

Edit

What I've tried:

  • I position a new camera and and set it as active camera

new cam

  • set it as active camera and added a blank grease pencil object.

added blank

  • started drawing. looking good for the first impression but

grease pencil draw

  • its seems that it's aligned to the first camera

wrong alignement

The grease pencil strokes are aligned to the window in which you draw. Strokes will appear in a plane that is perpendicluar to the Z axis of the camera (or to whatever other view you want to draw in).

Here is an example that shows how to draw in camera view (press Numpad 0).

The distance to the camera, in which the grease pencil layer appears, is determined by the placement of the 3D cursor.

Note that the link posted on the question refers to the annotation tool, which is a different tool than the Grease Pencil

  • $\begingroup$ well this happens so smoothly because adding a grease pencil automaticly snaps to your camera view. It doesn't happen in my case. Camera is placed and set to active camera. Grease pencil appears in a strange position I cant relate on. $\endgroup$
