From Clip Studio Paint Ver.3.0 or later, you can import poses from POSEMANIACS into 3D drawing figures or 3D characters in Clip Studio Paint.

*This function can only be used in Studio Mode on the tablet and smartphone versions of Clip Studio Paint.

If you do not have Clip Studio Paint, please download Ver.3.0 or later from here{https://www.clipstudio.net/q/dl/}.

You can apply poses from POSEMANIACS to a 3D drawing figure whose body shape has been adjusted to match your own design, or adjust imported poses to suit the situation.

 

• What is POSEMANIACS?

POSEMANIACS is a free website with 3D models featuring realistic human muscle textures for reference poses. The models are male or female, and can be rotated 360 degrees, allowing you to practice drawing from various angles. “30 Second Drawing” is a popular function, which allows you to practice copying poses by displaying them for only 30 seconds.

 

1. Open POSEMANIACS

Open from Clip Studio Paint

There are three ways to open POSEMANIACS from Clip Studio Paint: through the File menu, the Sub Tool Detail palette, and the Object launcher.

When you open POSEMANIACS using either method, your browser will start and you will be redirected to the pose list page on the POSEMANIACS site.

 

- File Menu

With the canvas open, select the File menu > Import > 3D pose (Posemaniacs).

 

- Sub Tool Detail Palette

With the 3D drawing figure or 3D character material placed on the canvas, select the POSEMANIACS icon from the Sub Tool Detail palette > Pose > Pose.

 

-Object Launcher

With the 3D drawing figure or 3D character material placed on the canvas, select 3D pose (Posemaniacs) from the Object launcher.

 

Open from browser

Open your browser and access POSEMANIACS. Click “Search” to view the available poses.

 

2. Select a pose on POSEMANIACS

A list of poses is displayed on the “Search” page of the POSEMANIACS website. You can also filter poses by tag by clicking on “No tag”.

When you select a pose from the list, a new page will appear where you can adjust the pose to your liking.

You can adjust the model's angle, direction, and more, from the icons at the model's feet.

Once you have decided on the pose and angle, press the “Launch” button below the model.

Tap the “Launch” button again in the displayed dialog to open Clip Studio Paint.

Hint:

• If you have installed Clip Studio Paint but have not started the app, the app will automatically open and a canvas will be created.

• If you open Clip Studio Paint from Posemaniacs for the first time, the following dialog will be displayed. If you check the checkbox, it will not be displayed again.

• If Clip Studio Paint is running and the canvas is not open, please create a canvas and then load the pose again.

• Poses cannot be loaded in versions lower than Ver.3.0.

 

3. Import into Clip Studio Paint

When opening Clip Studio Paint, a dialog will appear if there are no 3D drawing figures or characters on the canvas, allowing you to select the 3D drawing figure you want to apply the pose to.

If a cloud icon is displayed in the upper right corner of the drawing figure, please download from the cloud.

3D drawing figures are 3D materials that can be used to create difficult poses and angles when aiming to draw people. You can choose from the following four types.

When you choose a 3D drawing figure, its pose will closely reflect the angle displayed on POSEMANIACS.

The pose of POSEMANIACS will be applied to the 3D drawing figure or 3D character material placed on the canvas.

• If multiple 3D drawing figures are placed on the canvas, the pose will be applied only to the selected figure.

• If you want to use a 3D character, it will not be displayed on the body material selection screen. Therefore, please place it on the canvas beforehand and select the pose with POSEMANIACS.

• The texture of human muscles, accessories such as sticks, and lighting used in POSEMANIACS will not be reflected in Clip Studio Paint.

 

4. Adjust the pose using Clip Studio Paint

Models using POSEMANIACS poses can be freely adjusted in Clip Studio Paint.

 

The pose will vary depending on the length of the model's limbs and the bone structure, so if the positions of the limbs do not match, try adjusting them individually.

 

Below is an example of applying the same pose on the initially registered body type and child body type

For more information on working with poses, check out this tutorial.

 

You can adjust the gender and body shape of the model, even after loading the pose, by using the Tool Property palette and Sub Tool Details palette, just like you would with regular 3D drawing figures.

Try adjusting the body type to match the model.

 

Left: Change body shape / Right: Change gender

Check out this guide for more information on how to adjust the body shape of 3D drawing figures.

 

To adjust the “viewing angle” set in POSEMANIACS in Clip Studio Paint, select the Tool Property palette > Angle > Perspective.

Reset the display in Clip Studio Paint to its initial state by setting the perspective value to 4.72.
