About

I'm Sasoon Sarkisian, the developer behind Waypoint.

I've worked in web development for 10+ years and have been an on-and-off hobbyist animator for half that time. Since working with Blender's Grease Pencil, I was immediately hooked by the promise of a unique way of animating in true 3D space. Coming from Macromedia Flash, it was a real paradigm shift in more ways than one. Very quickly I ran into hurdles with basic operations, like wrangling with drawing planes and object origins, and ended up consuming hours of YT tutorials just to produce basic animations.

I ended up using a bunch of addons which compensated for a bunch of GP's shortcomings, and the most impactful one was CursorSnapper by Spitfire Storyboards and Ed White. Since that addon has long been deprecated, I decided to build my own version which leverages the 3D cursor in a dramatic new way - bidirectional sync of the actual GP object and the 3D cursor. It's been in development for a while now and I've since added a ton of features you can read more about here.

I'm excited to share Waypoint with the community and I hope you find it as useful as I do!
