Updated SIMPLE SKETCH

Added 2021-08-02 08:08:41 +0000 UTC

Hey everyone, I've been working on the SIMPLE SKETCH addon and if you're interested in trying it out, check out the beta forum for it over at http://cw1.me/discord or download from the URL below.

I've now added forecolor and backcolor, and you can also adjust the lighting with the little sphere in the UI (see interface pic).

I've still a couple of other things I want to add, but for now, the beta should be pretty solid. This will both animate and create still pics, and there are some neat "not so obvious" features that I'll be talking about later.

If you want to play with it, here's a copy for you to mess around with.

To note, for really large files, it may take some time for Blender Line Art to draw it at first, and also may take time to update it.

Here's a tip about the optimum workflow if you find you're having to wait around for Blender to update the Line Art objects:

The longest time waiting (on big files) will be when you first Toggle ON the Line Art. As soon as you are done, you should turn off the Line Art collection and then set your camera, adjust colors and line weights and shadow and shadow direction, and when you are ready to render, turn off the overlays and then turn back on the Line Art collection and then press the Render Line Art button.

Also, make sure you're in a camera view when you Toggle Line Art on
