Making 3D animation feel genuinely 2D used to mean manually modeling weird, distorted meshes for every single smear frame. Now, a free Blender add-on handles it automatically. SMEAR—developed as part of a SIGGRAPH 2024 research paper—lets you bake procedural elongated in-betweens, ghosting multiples, and speed lines directly along your object's trajectory. You get full Geometry Node controls over length, noise patterns, and speed thresholds, without destroying your original rig or animation. If you animate in 3D, do you prefer procedural stylization tools like this, or do you still prefer sculpting smear frames by hand? #b3d #3danimation #geometrynodes
