Test compositions with 3D models
Import your own files or download pre-made buildings, furniture, crowds, vehicles, and many other materials that are ideal for trying out compositions before you start drawing.
Use multiple 3D models to create a scene
Create complex scenes with multiple 3D figures and objects. Change the camera angle to get different angle references. Control the light source and check where the shadows fall on the ground and other objects.
View 3D materials from all angles at once
When placing a 3D material, you can view from four angles simultaneously. You can also change the position of the camera and the focal point on the 3D layer. When you change the camera position from the All sides view palette, the model also adjusts on the canvas.

Sketch human figures with ease
Clip Studio Paint comes with adjustable 3D models, great for sketching people. Freely customize pose, proportions, and body type. You can also attach props like hats, shoes, and more to the model to create a more concrete concept for your character design.
3D support for drawing faces
Create your very own facial reference with our adjustable head model.
Fine-tune overall shape, eyes, nose, eyebrows, ears, mouth, and other parts.
The base head can also be transformed into various styles, such as realistic, chibi, and anime.
AI posing from photographs
AI features enabled by deep learning algorithms allow you to scan a photo and have Clip Studio Paint automatically match its pose and apply it to a 3D drawing figure. Similarly, the hand scanner allows you to pose your hand via a camera and apply the pose to the hand of the 3D figure.
Paint on 3D objects
Draw guidelines or patterns on 3D drawing figure or 3D primitives. Check how they appear at different angles or poses.
Extract lines and tones from pictures and 3D data
Cut down on your background drawing time by extracting lines from pictures or 3D data. In Ver. 4.0 you can register presets and change the brush shape to get a hand-drawn feel.
