3D Head Models

Clip Studio Paint includes 3D head models to help you with character illustration.You can adjust the face blend and individual facial features as well as save customized 3D head models as new materials.

You can find the 3D head models in the Material palette > 3D > Head. There are 9 preset head model shapes with different appearances.Drag a material to the canvas to use and edit it.

Face Mixer

You can edit the face mix from the Tool Property palette or Sub Tool Detail palette > Head model category > Face Mixer setting.The nine dimensions of the face mixer are shown here.The center tile is the default base face.

The numbers displayed at the lower right side of the thumbnail of each face in the Face Mixer indicate the level of that dimension.You can increase or reduce the level of each dimension by dragging the sliders or entering a number.

If a single dimension is set to 100, the head model will appear exactly as it does in the tile.

If each dimension is set to a high level, the head model may distort.If you want to avoid this, turn on Limit face mixer. However, if you want to create a face with more unrealistic aspects, you might want to keep it off.

Resetting the head model

You can reset the head model to the default base face by tapping the reset icon on the at the bottom right of the center tile.

You can also reset the head model entirely, including adjusted facial features, by importing a head model from the Material palette to the canvas again.
