Can Clip Studio Paint Record Drawing

Clip Studio Paint Winter Update (Version 1.11.6) Coming Soon!

Nov. 30, 2021

The Winter Update for Clip Studio Paint EX/PRO/DEBUT (Version 1.11.6) for Windows, macOS, iPad, iPhone, Galaxy, Android, and Chromebook is scheduled for release on December 7. The Clip Studio launcher will also be updated to Version 1.11.6.

Note: Versions other than the Windows/macOS versions will be available once they have passed the review for their respective app stores.

What's Coming to Clip Studio Paint?

Version 1.11.6 includes the following updates.

New Liquify Tool

The Liquify sub tool will be added to the Blend tool. You can change the shape of an image by drawing directly on a layer on the canvas like a brush.

Enhanced 3D Tools

New 3D primitives
- Five types of 3D primitives, such as planes and cubes, will be added to the 3D section of the Material palette. You can combine multiple 3D primitives like blocks to create small items and backgrounds to use as guidelines for your projects.
- You can freely change the dimensions of 3D primitives, as well as change the color and texture.
- Flat plane 3D primitives can be set to rotate with the orientation of the camera.
- You can add textures to 3D primitives by dragging and dropping image materials onto the 3D primitive on the canvas. If you drag and drop an image material onto a 3D layer, it will become a flat plane 3D primitive with the texture applied.
New 360-degree panoramic skydome
New panorama materials for use as 360-degree backgrounds will be added to the 3D section of the Material palette. You can also import photos taken with 360-degree cameras and equirectangular images exported from 3D software and set them as 3D layers or register them as materials.
You can select and edit multiple 3D materials at once, including the material size, lighting, and shadows.
The setting Snap to 3D models will be added to the movement manipulator. Turn this on to snap 3D materials to the position and size of other objects as you move, rotate, or scale them. When you snap, you'll see snap effects such as a bounding box.

Easily Import Font Files (PRO/EX)

The command Add font from files will be added to the Font list in the Tool Property palette when the Text tool is selected. You will be able to import font files to Clip Studio Paint to use them.

Background Save

Windows

You can now save .clip files as a background process, so you can continue working while the save is processing. Autosave can also be set as a background process.
The option Show save status as pop-up will be added to Preferences > File. When this is turned on, the save status will be shown at the top of the canvas when saving.

PDF Import Available on All Devices (EX)

You can now import PDF files from the File menu > Open.

Import Gradient Files from Photoshop (PRO/EX)

Photoshop gradient files (extension: .grd) can be imported from the Edit gradient and Gradient Map dialogs.

(iPhone/Galaxy Phone/Android Phone) Improved Save Process

You will be able to auto save at set intervals.
The Save icon in the command bar will be changed to Export to photo library. This directly saves your work to the photo library of your device.

We will continue to work on improving the UX of the smartphone version.

Other Improvements and Changes

We have also made some other improvements, specification changes, and bug fixes based on feedback from Clip Studio Paint users.

The color of the manipulator for 3D materials will be changed.
If you paste an image material onto a 3D layer, it will become a flat plane 3D primitive with the texture applied.
The option Flip will be added to the Tool Property and Sub Tool Detail palette for the Gradient tool. You can use this to flip the gradient colors.
(iPad/iPhone/Galaxy/Android/Chromebook) Import from Photo Library will be added to the Sub View palette. You can import photos from your device's photo library.
(iPad/iPhone/Galaxy/Android/Chromebook) Export to photo library will be added to the File menu. This saves the image shown on the canvas to the photo library of your device.
