Pen Writer - Animated Handwriting

Paulo Antunes in Rendering


Do I need a drawing tablet?

No. Text, SVG and Board need no drawing at all. A tablet only matters for the Drawing source, where line width follows your pen pressure; with a mouse the width is constant.

Can I use the renders and videos commercially?

Yes. You can use everything Pen Writer makes (renders, videos, .blend files) in personal and commercial work, with no attribution and no royalties.

Can I use my own font or my own drawing?

Yes. Pick Custom Font and choose a .ttf, .otf, .ttc, SVG font or .jhf stroke font: single-line fonts are written stroke by stroke and outline fonts are traced. You can also draw on a sheet yourself, or import an SVG, and the hand redraws it.

Which languages and alphabets can it write?

Latin with every accent, Greek, Cyrillic, Arabic / Persian / Urdu and Hebrew (right to left, with joined letters), Korean Hangul, Chinese (simplified and traditional) and Japanese, with the real stroke order. Math symbols, check marks and music clefs are included.

Does it work in Cycles and EEVEE?

Yes, both. Everything is procedural, with no image textures. Body hair, absorbed ink and the best skin look are in Cycles.

Do I need Pen Writer installed to render the animation?

No. The baked animation (Grease Pencil, the pen tip, the 3D tool and the hand rig) is plain Blender data and renders on any machine, with or without the add-on.

Which Blender version do I need?

Blender 5.2 or newer. Pen Writer uses Grease Pencil v3, which older versions do not have.
