Grease Pencil artifacts #87841

Closed
opened 2021-04-26 18:12:50 +02:00 by Carmen · 30 comments

System Information
Operating system: Windows 8.1
Graphics card: NVIDIA Get Force GT 750M

Blender Version
Broken: 2.92 (no date in splash screen)
Worked: (2.80) I haven't tested the versions in between.

Short description of error

The use of more than two Grease Pencil objects produce artifacts.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

  1. create a new file 2D animation.
  2. start drawing
  3. in object mode add a second grease pencil object, for example a monkey or an empty one (in this case draw in this second grease pencil object). This second grease pencil object presents lines across. This lines disappear if you make not visible the first grease pencil you created.

I attach a picture and a file. I hope this help. Thanks in advance.

Regards

I cannot reproduce this on the latest 3.0.0 Alpha, branch: master, commit date: 2021-04-26 05:52, hash: c63142ca8f on Linux.
@UsoBlender Could you download the 2.93 Beta version from https://builder.blender.org/download/ and try the test file again?

Hi. Falk David thanks for your reply. Well, I'm new at this. I don't know if its a good idea to install a version that haven't been released yet. I don't know if my computer could crash. I would need more information. What is the risk of doing this? Thanks in advance.

Regards.

@UsoBlender When you download a Beta or Alpha version it will come in a .zip file that you unpack. The blender.exe executable will be inside the unpacked folder and can be run without going through an installation process. This is known as a standalone-executable. When using Alpha or Beta software you should of course not use any production files or any other important .blend files, because as you mentioned, the program might crash. However, when it comes to Beta software most critical issues have already been solved as the program is prepared for official release. As your computer hardware seems to be supported, you shouldn't worry about the computer crashing. The software might crash or it might hang (in which case you can terminate it using the Task Manager) but it should never affect the hardware.

Hi Falk David. Thanks for your reply. I have checked it and the bug hasn't been fixed. I have checked more versions. The problem starts in version 2.83 onwards. Thanks in advance.

Hi again. Excuse me for the delay. I'll provide to you two blender files and two corresponding images taken from my application. You just have to revise if the blender files when oppened show you what you see in the images. The information you are asking for about the computer is at the beginning of the task. Thanks in advance.

The information you are asking for about the computer is at the beginning of the task.

System Information generated from the Help menu will add some important information. eg: driver and OS details, enabled add-ons, etc. Can you please add the file?

Also: does this happen with [2.93LTS ]] or [ https:*builder.blender.org/download/daily | fresh builds ?

Thanks for the report. The graphics driver version is too old. It is from 2016. Please upgrade to the latest driver, see here for more information: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/dev/troubleshooting/gpu/index.html
Entering your GPU on NVIDIA's website points to the following link being the most up to date driver for your GPU:

Hi Evan. The link you provided doesn't work, neither does the other links I found towards NVIDIA. My computer says when I check that I have the last driver and it works perfectly. The problem, as I said before, started with version 2.83 onwards. So I don't know. Thanks in advance

Well. I don't know what to do. My computer says I have the best driver. I don't know what are the implications I have just download and install the driver on my own. To me it is strange that the problem is the driver but I have no other issues, apart from this. My computer is an i Mac, and I am using Blender in a partition in Windows. I don't know if this has to be updated in the Mac side. So, I don't know what to do. Thanks in advance.

May be you have tried to update from device manager?: Device manager -> Display Adapters

(As far as I know, this always show your driver is up to date even if it's not)

My computer is an i Mac, and I am using Blender in a partition in Windows

I am not sure about the described case. Will reset the tag. Other triagers, developers will help you :)
