In this video, Mumu Mundo explores the highly anticipated new feature in development for Blender Grease Pencil: Shape Keys.
Testing an experimental build with a 2D Peppa Pig character rig, this walkthrough demonstrates how Grease Pencil strokes and Bézier curves interact with shape keys to create flexible 2D facial expressions (smiles, frowns, mouth phonemes) and real-time shape blending.
The video also covers:
- Using drivers to connect Grease Pencil shape keys directly to Armature bones.
- Practical workarounds for known bugs and modifier display glitches in the current build.
- A look at the workflow potential for future 2D character rigging and animation in Blender.
