Panorama

You can set up a panorama when a 3D layer is selected with the Object sub tool.

(1)Open

In the Open dialog that appears, you can select a file to import as a panorama.You can import the following image file formats: Clip Studio format (extension: clip), BMP, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, Targa, Adobe Photoshop Document (extension: psd), and Adobe Photoshop Big Document format (extension: psb).

(2)Materials

In the Add a texture dialog that appears, you can import a panorama material from the Material palette.For details on the Add a texture dialog, see "Adjusting panaroma materials".

(3)Reload

When an external file is used as the panorama, you can update the image to reflect any changes to the original file, based on the stored file path.

(4)Delete

Deletes the panorama texture from the 3D layer.

(5)Texture

A thumbnail of the current panorama texture.You can tap the thumbnail to open the dialog and select a different file to import as a panorama.

(6)Fish-eye perspective

You can apply fish-eye distortion to only to the panorama.The larger the number, the wider the angle of the panorama shown on the canvas.However, distortion may occur at the edges.

(7)Export

You can export the image as a UV map in Clip Studio format (extension: clip).

The exported UV map is divided into a “map” layer with grid lines, a “texture" layer with the texture image, and a “background color" layer filled with white.All are raster layers.

(8)Export as panorama image

The exported panorama image is divided into a “map” layer with grid lines, a “panorama" layer with the panorama image of the 3D layers, and a “background color" layer filled with white.The “panorama" layer is transparent in parts that don’t have a 3D object on the canvas.

(9)Register material

You can save an imported panorama to the Material palette.The Material property dialog will open, where you can check the settings.

Perspective ruler

You can adjust settings for using the Perspective ruler sub tool.

(1)Process

Select how to edit with the Perspective ruler sub tool.

(2)Change perspective type

When turned off, you can add an auxiliary vanishing point without changing the perspective drawing method.When turned on, adding a vanishing point to an existing perspective ruler changes the perspective drawing method.For example, you can change a two-point perspective ruler to a three-point perspective ruler.For details, see "Perspective Rulers".

(3)Add fisheye

Turn this on to create a fisheye perspective ruler.For details, see "Creating a fisheye perspective ruler".

(4)Create at editing layer

When turned on, the perspective ruler is created on the current layer.When turned off, a new raster layer is created when you make a new ruler.

When using the Object sub tool

When the perspective ruler is selected with the Object sub tool, you can set how to snap and show the ruler.

(1)Snap

When turned on, you can snap drawing tools to a perspective ruler.When another special ruler is displayed on the same canvas, you cannot snap to other special rulers.You can do the same operation by enabling snapping.

(2)Only snap to vanishing points with a guide line

When on, drawing tools will not snap to vanishing points without a guide line or to the lens center of a fisheye perspective ruler.

(3)Fix eye level

Configures the eye level operation.When turned on, the vanishing point moves along the eye level.When turned off, the position of the eye level moves in conjunction with the vanishing point.

(4)Horizontalize eye level

Tap the perspective ruler to make the eye level horizontal.

(5)Fisheye perspective

Turn this on to switch to a fisheye perspective ruler.For details, see "Converting to a fisheye perspective ruler".

(6)Distortion strength

The larger the value, the stronger the fisheye distortion.If you set the Distortion Strength to 0, the ruler will appear like a normal perspective ruler.When set to 1 or higher, the perspective ruler will be distorted and the field of view (lens circle) will appear.

(7)Field of view

Changes the size of the lens circle and the entire fisheye perspective ruler.

(8)Grid

Displays an equally-spaced grid (auxiliary lines) from the vanishing point.

(9)Grid size

You can adjust the space between grid lines.

Pinch line

Allows you to configure how a line is pinched when a vector layer or balloon layer is selected with the Pinch Vector Line tool.

(1)Fix end

Allows you to select whether or not and how to fix (lock) the start point or end point when transforming a line.Fix both ends fixes the start and end points of the line, so they will not move even if the line is pinched.Fix either end fixes the further end from where the line is being pinched.The fixed end will not move even if the line is pinched.Free both ends does not fix any ends.The start and end point can both move.

(2)Pinch level

You can set the range of the effect when applied to the line.When the value is small, a small area of the line is affected.When the value is large, the entire line can be transformed.

(3)Pen pressure

When turned on, pen pressure affects the Pinch level setting.

(4)Effect range

You can set the range to apply the effect.The higher the number, the wider the range over which the effect is applied.

(5)All layers

When turned on, the selected process can be applied to vector layers, balloon layers, frame border folders, and drawn lines on rulers on the canvas.Tap the line you wish to edit to switch to that layer.

(6)Add control point

When turned on, you can add control points when pinching the line.Adding control points makes the line smoother after transforming.

When turned off, control points are not added, so the line may appear distorted after the transformation.However, this setting is useful when you want to transform straight lines.

(7)Connect lines

When turned on, you can connect two neighboring segments with the same settings for pen tip shape, angle, color and so on.You can drag to overlap the ends of both segments when pinching a line in order to connect the two segments.

(8)Snap to symmetry ruler

When turned on, the Pinch vector line tool will snap to symmetry rulers.
