Manga Perspective

Manga perspective can be set when 3D drawing figures or 3D character materials are selected using the Object sub tool or other tools.

Memo

The Manga perspective function has been developed based on technologies devised from "Research and Development of Ultra-realistic Communication Technologies with Evolutionary 3D Imaging Technologies," a consigned research by the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), an independent organization, in cooperation with Naemura Laboratory at Tokyo University and HITACHI.
