ators and people working in collaborative environments, and it is also useful for sculpting.
To use the Grease Pencil tool to set up reference sketches, follow these steps:
1.
Enter Object mode. In Side view, place the 3D cursor directly in front of the sculpted face object by
clicking the left mouse button (LMB), as shown in
Figure 3-24
. When you use the Grease Pencil tool to
sketch in 3D, the 3D cursor defines the invisible plane upon which the Grease Pencil writes. In this case,
the Grease Pencil writing should be in front of the object, so that is where the 3D cursor should be set.
2.
Press the Z key to toggle the view to wireframe. Open the Grease Pencil panel in the Properties Shelf
of the 3D Viewport, as shown in
Figure 3-25
. Click New Layer. In Object mode in the 3D viewport Tool
Shelf, activate Use Sketching Sessions and click the Draw button to draw, as shown in
Figure 3-26
.
