Clip Studio Paint 4.0 is one of the most anticipated updates for digital artists, offering new tools that enhance work in both 2D drawing and animation, as well as the use of 3D models.
Improvements in 2D Drawing Tools
One of the main new features is the inclusion of a puppet warp system, which facilitates the creation and manipulation of 2D characters. With this tool, it is possible to pin specific points on the character's body and move the rest intuitively, saving time and effort when creating complex poses.
Optimization of 3D Work
For those who work with 3D models, Clip Studio Paint 4.0 also brings major improvements. Now you can paint directly on 3D models, adding details like base colors or patterns. Additionally, the option to import models in formats such as STL and BVH has been improved, allowing the integration of motion capture data into projects.
Interactive Filters and Effects
Another of the most interesting updates are the new quick filters and interactive effects, which allow for agile and precise adjustments in images. These tools facilitate the digitization process of sketches, such as line art extraction, or the application of lens blur to add depth to works.
Why is this update important?
This software, known for its use in creating comics, concept art, and 2D animations, now offers more possibilities than ever to work with 3D models, motion capture, and quick image adjustments. It is a versatile tool that continues to improve with each version.
“Clip Studio Paint 4.0 is an update that offers great value to both comic creators and those working with animations and digital art.”
