1. Creating a 2-point perspective in a 3D space

 

When you look up or down in a 3D space, this is called a 3-point perspective, but this can be changed to 2-point perspective by adjust a setting under Lens in the Advanced Tool Settings palette.

Changing to 2-point perspective makes all lines perpendicular to the ground parallel.

 

You can adjust this setting under Lens in the Advanced Tool Settings palette when selecting a 3D layer with the Object sub tool.

Tap Straighten to switch the 3D layer display to a two-point perspective.

 

 

 

3D layers with Straighten turned on can also be converted to lines and tones, allowing you to create even more variation for comic scenes.

 

 

You can revert your image by tapping Reset adjustment.

 

2. Changing 3D camera position without changing the angle

 

You can use Lens shift in the Lens category of the Advanced Tool Settings palette to change the position of the 3D camera without changing the angle of the 3D object.

This is useful when you want to change the 3D layout while maintaining the Straighten setting.

 

 

On the left image below, the camera is moving vertically. On the right side, the lens shift is moving vertically.

 

 

3. Creating a sense of distance

 

You can add depth to a 3D space with the settings under Fog in the Advanced Tool Settings palette.

With fog, the further away an object is from the camera, the more it becomes blurred, creating a sense of depth.

To add fog to your 3D space, tap Enable fog.

You can select the fog type to Depth fog, Distance fog, or Fog height.

 

With Distance fog, fog is applied spherically relative to the distance from the camera. When the camera angle is wide, a more natural effect can be achieved. Generally, we recommend using Distance fog.

Depth fog applies the fog flatly, relative to the direct distance from the screen. The effect is the same as previous versions.

Fog height applies the fog flatly depending on the height. When set to this mode, you can set the fog direction with the slider. The fog effect can be applied to adapt to high or low camera angles.

 

Note:

Some fog settings cannot be edited in earlier versions of the app. Distance fog is available in Ver. 2.1 and later, and Fog height is available in Ver. 5.0 and later.

If “Save in compatibility mode” in Preferences is set to “Do Not Save,” or version compatibility information is not saved, you will not be able to edit the canvas in earlier versions.

 

When Opacity is on, you can adjust the opacity for the entire fog.

You can adjust the intensity of the fog using the Start point and Depth settings. Start point applies the fog from a specified distance from the camera. Depth specifies the position at which the fog will be thickest relative to the distance from the Start point.

 

Note:

If Opacity is set to less than 100, you will not be able edit the 3D layer in versions before Version 2.1. Set it to 100 in order to make edits. Also, if “Save in compatibility mode” in Preferences is set to “Do Not Save,” or it is not saved in compatibility mode, you will not be able to edit the canvas in versions before Version 2.1.
