Stroke Effects

Stroke Effects in the Grease Pencil are non destructive ways of altering the appearance of

Strokes which have been drawn in the 2D Viewport Editor in a Layer in a Canvas. The Effects

alter the appearance of all Strokes in the Layer. They cannot be applied to individual Strokes

even if the Strokes are in different Layers.

Effects can only be viewed with the 2D Viewport Editor in Rendered Viewport Shading Mode.

They do not display in Solid or Material Preview Viewport Display Mode.
