I saw you using 3D models in clip studio during one of your art streams and I started trying it out for the first time, and they're so useful! :D I was wondering if you had any tips for novices just starting out with that specific tool?

I'm not actually very good at using these either but my main tip would be to make presets for your characters!! The models are very cartoony so I spent a little time messing with the proportions until they were relatively close to my characters! Here's the ones I used for the main 3 of matchmaker (I didn't use models much in mm, but they helped a lot with some tricky panels near the end!) more below the cut

i do this too! it's extremely useful for keeping proportions between characters consistent, esp. for people whose brains have more trouble with things like perspective and relative size. i have a giant library of 3D poses at this point separated into folders, i like to start with a pose that's similar to what i want and adjust it rather than start from scratch every time. saves a lot of time you'd otherwise spend fiddling.

CSP's models have the advantage of being right on the canvas and adjustable Right There if you want, but i find DesignDoll's posing controls a little easier if you just can't click with the CSP ones

oooh, I should try out designdoll!! I like having models on the canvas sometimes but it would be nice to have a better reference to just look up to on my other monitor while I'm drawing sometimes! clip could definitely have much better posing controls lol

yeah, i like that i can adjust the CSP ones right on the canvas, but screenshotting + pasting from designdoll isn't too hard either. the downside with DD is that their pose library is not easily browseable and they just kind of don't update things lol. i paid for a license a while ago though and it was worth it to be able to save stuff at least LOL
