  • Silhouette: there are two options, I have to study the one I like: Silhouette 1 (more for sculpt), Silhouette 2 (more for animators)

Today I’m going to talk about the addon STORED VIEWS
I mostly do character modelling, so I like to have 5 cameras for the face, so I can go from one to the other, quickly and I also put every camera in a different frame in the time-line, and render the animation so I get 5 images results with so little effort. I have not use yet the stored view options, only the cameras options, and the camera marker in the time-line. Need further investigation, it promise to be very useful.
The next image is render that way and then mix together with inkscape.
