I didn’t even know that CSP could import models with 3D textures into the scene. I also recently learnt from another CSP artist that you can edit textures for 3D models in CSP and watch the changes be updated in real-time (sort of) inside CS Modeler. My one gripe with that is that I can’t paint directly on my 3D model inside CSP. If I’m able to import 3D models straight into CSP, it would so great if I can texture them directly inside the program utilizing my favourite CSP brushes. Kind like 3DCoat or Blender Texture Paint room. I wish this feature would come to CSP as well since I would love to be able to hand paint my models directly in CSP.

This is a cool video yet it leaves a lot of questions. It's good to know that it can be done because I've been trying to put my own custom figure sculpts in CSP from Blender for reference for a long time but there's a lot of conflicting information in different videos about the individual steps of the process like making, coloring and rigging the figure in Blender before importing it.

Would you please do an in-depth full tutorial from start to finish on the process of sculpting a custom 3D figure, coloring the figure and rigging the bones of the character? (Was the rigging and coloring done in Blender or in CSP?) Does the figure need to be retopologized before being imported to prevent crashing Clip Studio Paint?

This is very good, but
1- You need to explain the polycount or the level of 3d resolution that Clip studio paint and modeler are able to imoprt, because i myself imported some small files and it crushed many times
2- You need to explain how the rigging is done i blender to suit in Clip studio
3- Develope both Clip studio Modeler and Paint to keep up with other 2d softwares. Thanks

can you please make a tutorial on how to upload 3d objects with image material textures? I've tried everything and it's only gray models :c

If I rig/model just a hand in blender, if I just drag and drop the file into clip will the rig still work in clip?

Can it work for pro or is it exclusive to EX?

Heck ya, I know learning Blender would be useful.

I would really appreciate SVG import as well, so I can add vector elements to illustrations

This music drives me crazy with the stuttering.
