<DIV>Hey Joshua,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Is nice to know you are already working on a similar feature!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I really like your strokes+object attach idea, it will allow to use GP
strokes in new and amazing ways and showing those object+strokes at the same
time could be super useful. :)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Keep the good work coming and let me know if you need help on the workflow
or anything else you need.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Cheers</DIV>
<DIV>Matias</DIV>

<DIV>Hi Matias,<BR><BR></DIV>Indeed, I've been thinking about similar features -
albeit for other purposes :)<BR><BR></DIV>My original idea was that it would be
necessary to have these attached to an object of sorts for these to appear in
the scene. That way, we could have bunches of strokes getting transformed, etc.
by the object they are attached to. But certainly, I think having a way of
showing the strokes from multiple objects at the same time could be
useful.<BR><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The only issue I worry about a bit is how to keep everything manageable
from a workflow POV. Even with the scene + active object split, it can already
be quite confusing to remember which set of strokes is editable, and which are
not!<BR><BR></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards,<BR></DIV>Joshua<BR></DIV>

<DIV>Hi Joshua,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I was revisiting your roadmap for Grease Pencil and I have a proposal
that I think could solve #12 in an easy way. </DIV>

<DIV><EM><STRONG>12) Better ways to manage the layers</STRONG></EM></DIV>
<DIV><EM>What's clear from seeing several workflows is that multiple layers
are often needed to fully render each character and/or prop. This presents
the natural issue of how can we more efficiently manage groups of such
layers?</EM></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Right now is possible in Blender to have several instances of GP but only
one visible in the viewport. </DIV>
<DIV>What if allow GP to have more than one instance visible at a time? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This would help a lot when we works with multiple
character/background/objects and we can use the outliner to quickly turn
on/off instance visibility.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I've prepared a mockup to show the idea.</DIV>

<DIV>What do you think? Is this possible?</DIV>
