The icons are: rotate, move up/down/left/right, and move in and out of the scene (think of it like zooming in and out). Using the leftmost three of these icons will allow you to move the virtual camera around to see your 3D objects from different views.

When you are working in CSP’s 3D space, you will see the blue icons that are showing at the top left of my square in the above screenshot. We can find Primitives in the Material Library, unde 3D > Primitives. Clip Studio Paint has limited editing with these primitives, but you can still do enough with them to build basic scenes, like room interiors or cityscapes, to then use for reference for your images. In more advanced 3D modeling programs you can build very complicated shapes from primitives. In this article we will cover the following topics:Ī primitive is a basic 3D shape, such as a square/rectangle, sphere, cone, cylinder, or plane. Though the current functionality of this feature is limited, you can still use these primitives in various combinations to create reference for things like backgrounds for your comics or illustrations! But how do we use these primitives? One of the new features added in Clip Studio Paint Version 1.11.6 is the ability to add and do basic edits to various 3D Primitives. I write weekly posts on and on CSP Tips, so be sure to come back every week to learn more Clip Studio Tips and Tricks from me!
