Advanced Use
General
- ILD Render takes in account the color alpha values, so it's possible to create line fading with Freestyle Line Style - Alpha modifiers:
- Distance from Object
- Distance from Camera
- Along Stroke
- how to change ILD Render options for specific Objects/Layers see Custom Optimizations
Freestyle
- have a look at the Blender freestyle manual
- for more control over generated Freestyle lines have a look at Edge Marks

Grease Pencil
- with Grease Pencil it's possible to have 2D art in the 3D environment, this is especially handy when adding some details to animations without much hassle
- it's also possible to make traditional 2D animation with Grease Pencil
- have a look at the Grease Pencil Manual
- to export Grease Pencil strokes to ILD Render enable it in Render Properties - ILD Render Export:
Grease Pencil Render Options
- Layers Separate: Uses GP layers as ILD Render layers
- Use Fills: take the fill of GP objects into account, only useful for 2D
Grease Pencil options for every GP object
- Render Hidden Strokes: normally the plugin checks while exporting if a GP point is visible (hidden behind a 3D object), to disable this check this option
- Replace Black with Fill Color: use the fill color if the stroke is black
