Grease Pencil to Curves add-on allows you to easily smooth the lines drawn with Grease Pencil in Blender, reduce the number of vertices, and convert to curves with one button. This eliminates a lot of work in shaping Bezier curves from scratch. You can also convert the resulting curve to a hair curve attached to a surface with a single click, allowing you to turn multiple grease pencil strokes into hair curves that are already aligned to the surface (giving you a head start in grooming). Each grease pencil layer creates a separate curve. You also have the option to resample generated curves to increase points. The add-on menu appears in the N-Panel within the "Edit" tab.
You can do all of this manually, but this addon does all the conversion, adjusting number of segments, smoothing, and attaching more easily in a single menu.
In the addon overview on Youtube, I demonstrate a line drawn with Grease Pencil converted a curve to quickly create a chain and a string of lights. I then generate a whole head of hair from grease pencil strokes.
Added the "Grease Pencil" tag in the blender_manifest.toml file.
This extension does not require special permissions.
We've added new mandatory fields: Featured Image and Icon. Featured Image is shown at the home page instead of the first preview image, and icon is shown in the extension's title (and later will be shown in Blender as well).
Could you please update your extension with an icon and a featured image?
Apologies for the late heads up.
Yep, will do. I'll start working on an icon and image. Cheers.
Awesome, thanks for that note.

Hey everyone,
Just a heads-up about a recent change regarding the licensing of add-ons on the Blender extension platform. Moving forward, all add-ons will need to be released under the GNU/GPL 3.0 license (SPDX:GPL-3.0-or-later). This is mainly to keep things simple and consistent across the board.
Previously, we accepted various licenses as long as they were compatible with Blender’s distribution. However, to avoid any confusion and streamline the process, all add-ons using the bpy API should now be presented as GPL 3 (the same license the Blender bundle is distributed). Regardless of whether the original code was under GPL 2, or something else like MIT or ZLIB.
Existing add-ons versions won't be affected. However, new updates will need to comply to the revised requirements.
Thanks for understanding, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
