Hi! Can I set freestyle lines to change the thickness by node or timeline? In one keyframe, 2000 thickness value and after, on keyframe ten a differente thickness value? Can I do this or I can´t animate freestyle? Thanks! ---

Yes, Freestyle line styles can be animated. In 2.79: - place the mouse pointer over the value that you want to set a keyframe for (eg: thickness) - press “i” to add a keyframe. The value will turn yellow. - move to another frame, change the value (of thickness, in this example) - press “i” again to set a second keyframe. You will see the value turn: - yellow in keyframes - green in inbetween frames File attached.[freestyle\_thickness\_animation.blend](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/short-url/jYCCnDHWLSIbfKtbqaxkKce3tsy.blend) (499.9 KB) (no idea if it is the same in new blender versions, I don’t use them). ---
