I'm sure there's a better way, I just haven't found it yet.Īfter you've drawn all your key frames it's easy enough to adjust the timing on the timeline simply by dragging the frame numbers around. Plus, there doesn't seem to be any way to duplicate entire cells beyond using the selection tools and copying and pasting everything you need to a new frame. There's also a lightbox feature that I've yet to work out. You can see any number of previous and next frames in whatever color you'd like them to be. All of this made it easy to turn each stage on and off as needed. I also created a new folder for my color layer. I used one folder for my roughs then created a new folder for my clean-up drawings. You can have multiple animation folders for different parts of the animation. You simply set up an animation folder that holds each cell in the current sequence. I can't tell you how great it is to be able to sketch out by hand the individual cells in my preferred drawing software.įor the most part I worked it out. I really only created it to learn the new tools. See the video below.Īs you can see it's very rough. I sat down with CSP over the weekend and managed to produce a one second animation of one of my cats.
MANGA STUDIO EX 4 TUTORIAL PDF
(At the time of writing this there is an updated English start-up pdf guide here that runs through the basics).įortunately the basics were not too hard to work out. The manual doesn't mention anything at all. The release notes kind of explain the various features but that's it.
MANGA STUDIO EX 4 TUTORIAL HOW TO
Unfortunately the feature is so new there is no English video tutorials showing how to use it (and only one Japanese video that I could find). In a marvellous piece of serendipity, SmithMicro released a free update to Clip Studio Paint EX (formerly Manga Studio EX) that included Digital Cell Animation.Ĭlip Paint Studio EX is my preferred illustration tool and, in my last blog post, literally a day before the update was released, I talked about figuring something out with Manga Studio in order to create digital cell animations of my own.Īpparently the Japanese version of the software received the update earlier in February (I think) so this release was for the English version of CSP.
