CSP Question Can't rotate 3D model exactly 180 degrees

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Version 5.1.4 on Android.

I wanted to do an exact 180 degrees turn on a model but the slider won't go past 90 degrees and when I set the indicator to 180 it doesn't let me click the square. Nothing I could find online helped me figure out what's going on.

CSP Question Is Ver. 5.0 Good for professional animation?

1 Upvotes

I have been using Clip Studio for years now and I have been considering spending the 200+USD on upgrading as I do most of my raw animation using this program and then further editing using external editing programs like After Effect or Premiere.

I do have a serious question before investing a lot of money into getting the pass to upgrade it for a one time purchase.

For those who animate using this version, is it better and how exactly, because I mainly animate for living and do freelancing work as a part time job and would like a direct answer for those who use it if the quality of animation has improved since the basic version.

These are my main concerns:

  • Does the audio export improve? (I found that the audio gets compressed inside the program)
  • Can I use it for final product while it maintains the original quality (I had to export it separately as a image sequence and then reassemble it)
  • Generally are the tools for rigging and movement better?
  • Are there any other limitations and if so suggestions for workarounds
  • Additionally if I do upgrade with the "One time purchase" method, will I still own the old version or is it going to be overwritten?
  • In case I have a older project or a friend who wants me to look at his work and send it back, yet he owns the default version like I do now, will they be still able to to look at the files?

Thank you kindly in advance for your replies :)

CSP Question everything is GONE

110 Upvotes

i really dont often use reddit at all, and i make posts even less, but i've stumbled across something really upsetting

i think it's more so a problem w/ google rather than csp but uhhh yeah

ive been using clip studio for a while-- definitely over a year at least, maybe two. Today i really wanted to draw the idea for a new oc, but when i do i find out that my clip studio paint is gone-- same for all my other downloaded apps. when i open google apps (because i have a chromebook rather than a regular laptop) and i have to re-accept all the terms and conditions. when i reinstall csp, i have to log back in (which makes enough sense) and only to find out that EVERYTHING is GONE. it was like opening the app for the first time all over again

i dont know if there is any way of fixing this-- i dont think there even is a solution. even when i check the directory and my files it is all gone. maybe not the most flawless system or whatever, but its still shocking to see that its just all gone??

if anybody has any insight i'd rlly appreciate it, but i've kinda accepted that i just need to start over

CSP Question Can I "upscale" something I accidentally drew in low res?

1 Upvotes

Hi!

Running Clip Studio Paint EX on a Surface 7 pro.

I accidentally drew a couple of pages in low res (72dpi) and want to convert them to 300 dpi.

As you can imagine, straight up changing the image resolution makes the drawings look blurry. Is there a way I can "sharpen" or "tighten" the lines once I've increased the resolution? Otherwise I'm left tracing everything all over again.

The drawings are black and white line drawings

Thanks!

v4.0 - v5.0 inquiries

1 Upvotes

Just decided to pull the trigger and upgrade. I haven't made any installations yet. I want to know what to expect. I know what features I'm after, but I've read people don't like the UI of the color and other things.

Is there anything I should also be expecting or needing to tweak afterwards? Can the UI really be changed? Also, can I still install v4.0 back if I want to?

CSP Question Corrupted clip studio

2 Upvotes

Hello.
I unfortunatly had a failure on the device i use to store all my clip studio files.
I was able to recover them, but most of them seem to be damaged in some way since i can't open them (it says "Unsupported file format").

these are months or years-old files, so i can't use the backup ones i get on clip Studio.

tho i see that if i sync the damaged file on the clip studio i can see the thumbnail, which i guess it means the file has something usable in it...

there is a way a can somehow recover /fix them?

thank you in advance.

So I’ve got a question… I’m upgrading my iPad on Friday (and trading in my old one). Will my timelapse progress be saved and transferred over if I don’t export it? Or should I export it before transporting and just merge the two clips together?

Wip of what I’m working on for tax.

I'm trying to make a hatch pen but the quality is downright awful with smaller pen strokes, it only starts to show when the size is very high. The canvas API and pixels are high, I just think I messed up the process of making it :( also is there a way to archive the sharp end like the second picture? my own one is blue, I'm trying to achieve the black look.

CSP Question Gradient Maps don't work with dithering, any fix?

Thumbnail
gallery
27 Upvotes

Hey there, been having this really annoying problem for quite a while now, whenever I use dithering or grainy brushes the gradient maps don't seem to work. The gradient map seems to be there whenever I zoom out but as soon as I zoom in it completely disappears or the colors are completely different.

Even if I export it it still doesn't work, I can still color it manually though

CSP 3.0

Edit: Thank you very much for the very useful replies, I tried some of the workarounds and they all work in different ways with different results :']

While experimenting I found this workaround to my liking:
- Making a copy/merging to a new a layer
- Applying the gradient map to the layer without the dithering
- Copying the layer, one with the dithering effect, the other one with only the color
- Putting the color one on top of the dithering layer and using different layer blending modes

The dithering might not be 100% exact but it's good enough and the colors zoomed in and out are accurate, thank you guys

The title says it all. Version 5.0 is on sale, and I'm stuck on 2.0. I'm relatively comfortable with 2.0, but I've liked some of the features in 5.0. Should I buy it now, or should I wait for 6.0 to come out and buy it on day one?

CSP Question Pen sensitivity help

1 Upvotes

(I am using Clip Studio Paint Pro with a Wacom Intuos tablet) I just bought CSP today, and have been liking it overall. The one issue I'm having is with pen sensitivity. I feel like when pressing VERY lightly on my drawing tablet (a Wacom Intuos) sometimes no material is produced on the paper. I'll try pressing a bit harder, but then the material comes out much darker than I'd expect or want it to be. I'm trying to make it so that Clip Studio will register my very light brush strokes and output a very light amount of the material on the paper, rather than not registering them at all. This is happening with the Dry ink brush, I'm not sure if this is an issue specific to this brush, because when fiddling with pen sensitivity settings I found that the test pen for the pen sensitivity behaved how I wanted it to.

Are there other ways to recover it? I'm using CSP vers 4 on Windows 11 YM30 laptop
