I downloaded the latest 64 bit Windows 10 beta of 2.8 (12-4-2018) and I can’t seem to get onion skinning to work. Onion skinning on the animation tool works fine, but when I check the box for the grease pencil nothing happens.
Does anyone else have this problem, or am I missing something? It’s a fresh download, so my steps to reproduce are: Start blender, add GP object, draw 3 frames, enable onion skinning.
Thanks, I didn’t have it enabled in the “Overlays,” menu. Seems like something that should be enabled either by default or gets enabled when you enable the onion skinning option.
Agreed, I stumbled over this a few times before, too. Also because it counts as an overlay it is quite tedious to hide everything but the onion skin. For now I added the layer checkbox to quick favorites.
Sorry to bump this topic but I do have a relevant question regarding this onion skinning issue. This seems to have solved my initial issue. However, what is the purpose of having 4 separate on/off buttons for onion skinning? I noticed that in 2.9x the checkbox by the onion skinning tab has disappeared, so now there are only three. But it seems like it would make more sense to have all onion skinning options at least in one place. I’ve run into this problem many times where there’s some hidden panel somewhere with seemingly a duplicate button in order to get stuff to work.
What am I missing whereby it makes sense to have this many unique possibilities of disabling the same thing?
