Really amazing addon. Thank you so much for sharing. There is one issue however with the "Download and import texture brush pack" option. When clicked works perfectly and installs the brushes. But this step always has to be repeated when you close and open Blender 4.2.3 again. Even if you click the "Save Preferences" button after download/installing the brushes, they will be gone the next time you open Blender and you have to click this "Download and import texture brush pack" option again.
Hi,
About the brush not remaining in blends, it's because brushes belongs to the blend-data, not preferences.
So basically, they have nothing to do with the addon :)
It's the same thing as importing brushes manually, except the addon provide an automatic way.
What you can do to keep them around is simply adding them to your startup file, here is how:
File > New
then select the startup preset where you want them to remain.File > Defaults > Save Startup File
.Important note: For Blender
4.3
and futures, download and install brush feature is removed. The new nativeasset system
works very differently and it will allow to get online brush natively in the future without the need for any addon.
Thank you for the kind review !
To me this is the only necessary add on for grease pencil. With out it i can't even use gp at all. It adds all the necessary functionality you need to draw in 2d. You need to rotate your canvas , you need a button to instantly unzoom and re center your view (Zoom fit) , You need to flip your canvas (mirror flip) , and you need a Box transformer/warper . Like Node Wrangler it really should be a part of blender by default.
I tried to save the existing Grease Pencil texture brush as an asset brush according to Brush Asset section in Blender 4.3 release note. But it crashed Blender 4.3 beta. The texture brushes from this add-on are very powerful and I want to keep using it in 4.3 too. Is there an instruction document for it?
Hello, you're commenting about something related to Blender core (you said it yourself, "according to Brush Asset section in Blender 4.3 release note"). The asset brushes system and their behavior have nothing to do with the addon. You're complaining here about something you should just report as bug. When there is a crash involved, you should report on blender platform for blender stuff, or on addon repository's issues for addon stuff. The texture brush were never part of the addon, there was just a mean to download a pack quickly. As stated in last version update log, this is no longer needed as there will be soon an online asset library for said brushes.
Also, you are leaving a "review" with a notation when Blender is not even out of beta. Even if your request was legitimate, you can at least wait a bit after the release to let addon developers time to adjust to version changes.
If it was just that, I would not mind, but you barge in the wrong place, with the wrong assumption, leave the lowest note and then ask for help at the same time ? Considering all this, I suppose should consider myself lucky to be given one star out of five ! Cheers

Hi, sorry, you must have tried the 1.8.6 on blender 4.3 beta I forgot to limit maximum version to 4.2 on previous release. Now there is a new dedicated version for 4.3, you can update and this should be fixed. If possible, when you see those kinds of error, please report on the addon repository issues (you can still post here if you prefer to avoid creating a github account).
Thank you for kindly reporting.
If you are doing any sort of freehand sketching, this tool is a “must-have”... if only due to its rotate canvas and mirror features. Of course it has more and is nicely documented .
Wonderful, add power to a powerful Grease Pencil...
Excellent tool, the rotate canvas is indispensable.
It unfortunately doesn't work with Blender 4.3 builds yet due to updates to menu registration due to GP3 changes.
I'm Loving the timeline scrub
Rotate Canvas and timeline scrubbing really makes my 2D Animation workflow much much easier
Just the timeline scrub and view rotation features make this a 5⭐ for me Specially useful for drawing tablet users
