Use Clip Studio Paint Modeler to texture paint your 3D models!!

Hello and welcome to my site where I showcase my favourite things in gaming, 3D and VR.

I have a new tutorial video on how to use the 3D modeling features of Clip Studio Paint to texture paint your 3D models created in Blender.

Clip Studio Paint has a fully fledged modeling tool included within its painting software. Currently it’s a separate application called Clip Studio Modeler accessed within Clip Studio Paint.

It contains a 3D viewer which can transfer a UV map to Clip Studio Paint allowing you to texture paint your model whilst previewing it in a 3D window.

So you can use all you favourite brushes and textures included in Clip Studio Paint and even create a 3D scene within the program.

More info in the video below or read further for a written mini guide.

In Blender create a UV layout, then export it using the menu in the UV window.

Then create an image texture for your model and use the exported UV layout png as its texture.

Then export the model as an FBX.

Then select the Material icon on the right hand side next to the tree and click the Default Material then the uv texture layout.

A Clip Studio Paint icon should appear in the bottom right of the window, click this and your uv layout will open in Clip Studio Paint

You can now add new paint layers and hide the uv texture layer to export the new texture map as a PNG. You also need to SAVE AS the clip studio paint file to save the layers and all the work you have made as it is only a preview and will not be saved if you close Clip Studio Modeler

So now you can import the new texture into Blender and see it with lighting and the other meshes you may have created.
