GreasePlotter is a Blender add-on for turning three-dimensional scenes into SVG drawings intended for pen plotting. Its examples connect scene lighting, outlines, hatch spacing, and shading to the lines that reach the page. Controls include separate pens for outlines and shading, tone-based pen assignments, camera settings, and SVG graphics placed within a scene. The showcase also explores overlapping patterns and surface textures. For anyone moving between 3D modeling and physical drawing, it offers a concrete look at that translation. The official site currently lists an invite-only beta, so access should be checked before planning a workflow around it.
