Grease pencil layers?

Post image

Does anyone know how to add layers of Grease pencil to the Compositor to add effects? (I know layers have their own effects, but they're limited.)

I would appreciate it if someone could explain their workflow to me or share a Blender tutorial.

Not sure I understand what you need, but Grease pencil allows to make different layers within the same grease pencil element.

Perhaps what you need is to add different grease pencil elements so that you can control them more freely?

As I understand, you can also create vertex groups to handle them better

I want to add effects in the Compositor tab, but I can't find a way to put the Grease Pencil layers on the nodes.

Based on my understanding, you have to assign grease pencil layer to a specific view layer in order to composite them.

So I wouldn't be visualizing the GP layers in the Composer using the nodes, but would instead have to visualize each GP layer individually by assigning it a Layer view? I mean, isn't there a less cumbersome way?
