Learn about Camera, Color Jitter, Closed Area Fill, and other setting categories starting with C in Clip Studio Paint.

Camera

You can change and manage the camera angles when a 3D layer or 3D material is selected with the Object sub tool.

(1)Current camera

Tap to select and manage camera angles from the pull-down menu.

(2)Duplicate current camera

Tap this to duplicate the camera angle that is selected as Current camera.

(3)Angle

Tap Preset to see a list of default setting camera angles you can select.Some 3D materials may have a preset camera angle list.

(4)Center object

Tap to move the camera so that the selected 3D material is displayed in the center.If you have selected a specific part of a 3D drawing figure or 3D material, then it will be centered on the selected part.

(5)Projection method

You can change the projection method of the 3D camera to Perspective Projection or Parallel Projection.

Perspective Projection displays the 3D materials in perspective, so the size depends on the distance to the camera.

Parallel Projection does not display objects with true perspective, so the size is not affected by the distance from the camera.This is suitable for techniques such as isometric art, where there is no vanishing point.

(6)Perspective

Adds perspective to the 3D material.The larger the value set by the slider, the wider the angle of view.A smaller value results in a smaller angle of view.You can adjust this setting when the Projection method is set to Perspective Projection.

(7)Link camera advancing/retreating

When turned on, this links camera movements when adjusting the perspective.The focal point and focal frame remain fixed.

When turned off, with the camera position fixed, only the angle of view of the canvas camera changes even when the perspective is adjusted.You can adjust this setting when the Projection method is set to Perspective Projection.

(8)Projection scale

Set the field of view of the camera.The larger the value set by the slider, the wider the angle of view.You can adjust this setting when the Projection method is set to Parallel Projection.

(9)Roll

Set the camera’s rotation angle while the camera position is fixed.

(10)Camera position

Adjust the X, Y, and Z sliders to move the camera position around the focal point.

(11)Focal point position

Adjust the X, Y, and Z sliders to move the focal point position without moving the camera position.

(12)Adapt view to object

When turned on, the position of the camera focal point will change to match the 3D material selected on the canvas.If a 3D material is selected from the Object list, the position of the focal point will not change.

If you select a specific part of the a 3D material, the focal point will change according to the position of the part.

(4)Space evenly

When turned on, the characters and spaces will be spaced evenly between the start and end points.For details on the start and end points, see "Aligning text on a circle".

Closed area fill

You can make detailed settings for how to fill when using the Enclose and fill and Paint unfilled area sub tools.The same settings can be made with the Shrink selection sub tool under the Selection area tool.

The Closed area fill category of the Fill and Selection area tools have the same settings, but the results are different.The following describes each item using the Fill tool as an example.

(1)Target color

Sets the target color to be filled.For details, see "Target color".

(2)Close gap

When turned on, if there are gaps in the area you want to fill, the fill will still stop at the gaps without spilling from the area.Use the indicator to specify the size that is interpreted as a gap in the lines.

(3)Tolerance

You can adjust the error margin of color for filling.The larger the value, the larger the tolerance to include areas of colors different to the tapped color.

(4)Area scaling

When turned on, you can enlarge or shrink the original area by the amount of pixels specified by the slider.

(5)Scaling mode

When Area scaling is turned on, you can sets the corner shape of the area to Round, Rectangle, or To darkest pixel. For details, see "Fill".

Color Jitter

You can randomize the hue, saturation, and color of the drawing color as you draw, or make the color change depending on pen pressure and brushstroke speed.

(1)Change brush tip color
