You can edit 3D models in Clip Studio Paint primarily through the Sub Tool palette, where you can adjust the model's position, scale, rotation, and even some aspects of its body shape. Here's a breakdown of the general process:
Editing 3D Models: A Step-by-Step Guide
-
Select the Tool: In the Tool palette, choose the "Operation" tool group.
-
Select the Sub Tool: From the "Operation" tool group, select the "Object" sub tool. This tool is specifically designed for manipulating 3D objects and layers.
-
Select the 3D Material: Drag and drop a 3D material from the Material palette onto your canvas. Clip Studio Paint supports various 3D formats, including those for characters, objects, and backgrounds.
-
Adjusting the Model: Once the model is on the canvas, you can use the handles and controls in the Tool Property palette (located typically on the left of the screen) to:
- Move the model: Click and drag within the model's bounding box.
- Rotate the model: Click and drag the rotation handles (usually represented as arcs or circles).
- Scale the model: Click and drag the scaling handles (usually squares or cubes). Scaling may be uniform or non-uniform, depending on the selected handle.
- Change the camera angle: Rotate the view around the model. This doesn't change the model, but allows you to view it from different perspectives.
- Adjust lighting: Control the light source affecting the model.
-
Editing Body Shape (for 3D Characters):
- Click the “+” on [Change body shape] in the Tool Property palette.
- Adjust height by dragging the slider for [Height].
- Fine-tune body shape using the 2D slider to adjust the body shape.
Detailed Information and Further Options:
For more detailed instructions, options and customization, refer to Clip Studio Paint's official user guide, especially the section on editing 3D materials: Clip Studio Paint User Guide: Editing 3D Materials
You can also adjust rendering settings and add outlines to the 3D models to better integrate them with your 2D artwork. Remember to explore the Tool Property palette and experiment with different settings to achieve the desired look.
