A staple in the Superhive Grease Pencil library for artists who want real-time symmetry options while drawing.
Grease Pencil Radial Symmetry brings real-time symmetry drawing to Blender's Grease Pencil. It ships in two versions: GPv2 / Basic, which works in Blender 2.9 through 4.4+, and GPv3 / Advanced, which works in Blender 4.3+. The Advanced version includes a Geometry Nodes setup for radial symmetry, letting you change segments on the fly and adjust orientation.
The product includes Grease Pencil presets covering real-time mirror on the X and Z axes, radial symmetry with up to 20 segments, and frame symmetry. Because it builds on Grease Pencil, you can modify and animate your work using sculpt and edit modes, modifiers and effects.
Alongside the presets and Geometry Nodes setup, you also get an 18-page instructions PDF and four demo files. Future updates are included with purchase. The plugin is listed here as free, and it is distributed under the GPL license.
Grease Pencil Radial Symmetry is best for blender artists drawing symmetrical or radial illustrations with Grease Pencil.
Grease Pencil Radial Symmetry is completely free to download and use.
Grease Pencil Radial Symmetry comes in two versions with different compatibility. The GPv2 / Basic version works in Blender 2.9 through 4.4+, covering a wide range of releases. The GPv3 / Advanced version works in Blender 4.3+ and includes the Geometry Nodes setup for radial symmetry. Choosing the right version depends on which Blender release you run, so check your version before setting it up. Both are provided together with the product.
Grease Pencil Radial Symmetry builds on Blender's Grease Pencil, so you can modify and animate everything using sculpt and edit modes, modifiers and effects. This means the symmetrical drawings you create are not locked in place — they remain editable Grease Pencil objects. Because it works within the standard Grease Pencil toolset, the usual workflow for adjusting and animating strokes applies to results produced through the symmetry presets and Geometry Nodes setup.
Grease Pencil Radial Symmetry includes a Geometry Nodes setup for radial symmetry in the Advanced version, plus Grease Pencil presets for real-time X and Z mirror, radial symmetry up to 20 segments, and frame symmetry. It also comes with an 18-page instructions PDF and four demo files to reference. Future updates are included as well. This gives you both the working setups and documentation to get started with the symmetry options.
