Clip studio paint как установить кисти
Обновлено: 04.07.2024
You can use and install materials in Clip Studio Paint. You can find brushes, textures, color sets, gradient sets, and even animations! There are a lot to choose from in their Assets app and I do recommend you to use it, in case you’re feeling like trying and experimenting with new things.
I like to use their materials when I want to add textures to my drawings. There are a lot of textures, with different shapes and feels to choose from and it’s actually even fun to just spend some time and try them out and see the different results we can get!
How can you install and use these materials in Clip Studio? It is actually very easy! Just look for the material you want and download it. You can now find your new material on the ‘Material Menu’ to the right side of your screen and it’s ready to use!
Of course, there’s a lot more to it than this and if you’re still not used to Clip Studio Paint, I describe in detail and guide you through how to use the Asset app, create an account for it, search, download and use your materials!
How To Install Materials In Clip Studio Paint
Installing Materials in Clip Studio Paint is very easy. Mainly because you don’t need to install them per se. When browsing materials in the Clip Studio Asset store, just pick the one you want and click download.
The material should be ready to use right away in the material tab. There are different types of materials that you can use, from brushes and textures to auto-actions and 3D models. Some of these need an extra step to start using. For example, to use a downloaded brush, you need to drag it from the material tab to a brush/pen tab of your choice.
Otherwise, most of these materials you just need to drag them to your canvas and then edit and use them as you want!
To open this app, you just need to click its icon on the top bar of Clip Studio. When you do, a new window will appear.
It is important to note that this Asset app is fairly recent, so if you can’t see it on the software, update Clip Studio Paint so you can have access to it. Usually, Clip Studio updates automatically and will promptly open a window asking if you want to visit a page with all the new updates. Either way, if you need to update Clip Studio just go here and download the latest update.
It is worth to mention that if you’re not a fan of the app itself, you can also visit the website on your browser. It works pretty much the same way and you can download the materials from there.
Don’t forget that for both the app or the website you need to create an account and login to be able to download any material.
Downloading Additional Materials From Clip Studio Assets
Before we go into how you exactly use these materials, let’s go through a step by step of how to search and download your materials as well as some extra and useful information about the Assets app.
As I mentioned, before starting to search for materials, it’s better to create an account and log in, since the app will ask you for it once you try to download something. So, go to the top bar of the app and click the ‘Login’ button.
It will open up a small window. Now choose ‘Register Account…’ and follow the steps. Once you’re done, go to the app again and log in! Now your username should appear at the top along with how much cloud storage you have. Users get 10gb of cloud storage for free, so you can back up your files and materials!
Now you’re set to search for new materials! For that, look to the left of the app and click on ‘Clip Studio Assets’. A vast array of materials will appear to choose from. If you’re looking for something specific, you can just write it on the search bar. For example, if you’re just looking for brushes, type ‘Brush’ and the app will show you only materials tagged as it!
You can also mark materials that you liked as favorites, by clicking on the star. This way you can go back to these very easily on your Favorites page.
Note that there are both free and paid assets. The paid ones are called Gold Items and Gold is the currency used in Clip Studio Assets. To get it, you need to buy it. Simply go to ‘Account -> Point Service’.
When you find something you liked and want to use, click on it. You’ll be redirected to a new page. Most of these materials are made by Japanese users and they’re written in Japanese. If you don’t know the language but want to understand the descriptions you can click the ‘View Translation’ button.
To the right of the page, you’ll see right away a red download button. Click on it and your material should be ready to use on Clip Studio Paint right away! To access your new material, simply go to the Material Tab and look on the ‘Download’ folder. If you can’t see what you just downloaded right away, close the tab and go back to it again so it refreshes.
You might wonder if you can use these materials for commercial use and the answer is, yes! All of these materials can be used for both commercial and non-commercial use! You can’t share or sell them though. If you want to share these materials with a friend, send them a link of the material so they can download and use as well.
Using The Material Palette Menu
The Material palette menu is located on the right side of your screen and at first glance, it might seem a lot to take on! But it really isn’t, it’s just there’s a lot of information thrown at us, but the menu is very easy to use and understand.
Before even opening this menu, you might notice many different little tabs on the screen. These are each folder with different kinds of materials in them. For example, if you’re looking for 3D material, open the tab with the cube.
This will open and show you all the 3D assets you have and can use. Furthermore, inside each category, the folders are divided and organized in different types of assets, for example, ‘Pose’, ‘Background’, ‘Small Object’, etc.
Clip Studio has their materials very well organized so you can find anything you need, very easily and quickly! Also, you can find specific materials by searching for their tag. Below the categories, there are some suggested tags that you can look for and you can also type the keywords you need.
The tags are very useful to use, especially if you decided to add your own tags to downloaded or registered materials.
Finally, when you select a material, it will show you the details on the bottom of the menu. Below that, you have some tools to organize your materials. For example, you can create new folders, change how you view the materials, open the material properties (here you can add or change tags, change name and others) and even delete materials you don’t need or want anymore.
Overall it is very easy to use. You should have quite some materials already installed even before downloading or registering your own materials. So take a look and have some fun experimenting with all the assets!
Registering Materials
You might want to make your own brushes or textures and others. You can very easily do so. If you want to create your own brushes, I recommend taking a look at this step-by-step guide on how to make your own brush that I wrote. It is very simple and actually fun to experiment and create new and different brushes!
But giving you a general idea of how to register a material, simply create what you want on your canvas. When you’re finished go to ‘Edit -> Register Material…’ you can register them as images, templates or animations, depending on what you’re doing.
When selecting one of them, a new window will appear. This window is very similar to the one you see when opening a material property. Here you can name your creation, add tags to it, choose which folder of materials it’s going to and others.
Once you’re done with all the settings, click Ok and your creation should appear on the Material Menu now!
Using Materials In Clip Studio Paint
Depending on what kind of material you want to use, you might have to import them to your canvas differently. Let’s go over different types of materials and how to use them!
Image Materials
This includes all image materials in the “Image Material” section, Color Patterns, Monochromatic Patterns, Manga Materials, and even 3D Materials.
To use them simply click on the material you want to use and drag it directly to the canvas or to the layers section. When doing so, it will create a new layer with the material you chose.
You can also select multiple materials and drag them to your canvas. This will also create one layer for each material you just added. You can then edit them as you wish!
Animation Materials
- Be sure you have the Timeline showing! If the timeline is disabled, you can’t open the animation you want.
- Choose the frame where you want the animation to start. Even though you can move the animation around, it’s easier to choose the right frame right away and then drag the material to the canvas.
When pasting the material, it will both paste in the canvas and timeline. It is also worth to note that if the frame rate you’re using is different from the one in the material, the one from the material will be maintained. This means that the number of frames on your timeline might change!
Sub Tools
When importing brushes material into Clip Studio, it will work differently. They will appear on the Materials menu, but as opposed as with both cases above, here you can simply drag them to the canvas and use.
You want to be able to use it as a brush. For that, open one of the brushes tabs, now select the brush you want to use from the material menu and drag it to the brush tab you have opened.
It is now ready to use as a brush and you can even change some of its settings. If you want to add more than one brush, feel free to select more than one and drag all of them at the same time!
Color Sets
To import and use downloaded Color sets, simply select them and drag them to the Color Set Palette. They should be ready to use once you do so! If you want to change to different Color Sets, simply select the top bar to change and use different color sets.
Clip Studio Paint already has quite some sets available that you can use and the ones you add will show next to the pre-existing ones.
Auto Action Sets
Auto-Actions are groups of small actions that you can record and save for later use. For example, if you’re making the same action over and over again, instead of having to repeat it every single time, you can make an Auto Action of it, select it and play it.
This way, Clip Studio will make the action for you, making the whole process quicker! Clip Studio Paint already has default Auto Actions that you can use. To access it, look for the History Window and Auto Action should be right next to it.
To use downloaded Auto Actions, simply select them from the Material Menu and drag them to the Auto Action Palette. It should now be ready to use!
Gradient Sets
You can find several Gradients and even packs of Gradients in Clip Studio Asset app that you can download and use on your work. To add them and use them is very similar to what you do with brushes.
Go to your toolbar and select the Gradient Tool, right below the Paint Bucket. You’ll notice that Clip Studio already offers you some Gradient sets that you can use and customize as you want.
From the Material Menu, select the Gradient Sets you downloaded and drag it to the Gradient Palette. You can use your new gradients!
Workspace Material
You can find on the Asset app or website several workspace materials. This is basically people’s way of organizing their screen and Clip Studio’s workplace. You can download these and have your menus and tabs organized differently if you feel yours isn’t fully optimized or you don’t like how menus are distributed.
Personally, I like to move things around as I like. But sometimes it can be refreshing to try different things!
To load a Workspace, select it from the Material Menu and then drag it to the canvas. When you do so, a window will appear with the Workplace settings. From here you can choose what to load. Click Ok.
The new workspace should appear and it will ask you to confirm. You can then go to Window -> Workspace and you’ll notice the one you just loaded shows up there. Here you can change the workspace you’re using!
If you want to revert to your old workspace go to Window -> Workspace -> Workspace.
It is important to know how to install new brushes in Clip Studio Paint. After all, we just got some new and good looking brushes to have some fun with and we need to add them to the software! There aren’t as many Clip Studio Brushes around as we wish, but there’s still some very good material.
Besides, Clip Studio also has an Asset Store where you can buy or get for free new and different material, including brushes. Importing these brushes, both from the store or from a folder on your computer is pretty straightforward.
How can you import brushes in Clip Studio Paint? The easiest way is to simply drag the brushes from their folder into a Brush/Pen tab you have opened in Clip Studio Paint.
There are other ways to do it and depending on if you’re on a computer or an iPad, you’ll have to import them differently. I’ll explain each method right here, accompanied by images to make to whole process easier for you!
Importing Brushes In Clip Studio Paint
Importing Brushes in Clip Studio Paint is fairly easy, as long as they’re specifically made for Clip Studio. These brushes are usually named with the .sut extension! There are actually two ways to import brushes. A more complex one, but not too much, basically it just take quite a few extra steps.
And then the easiest one, which is very useful if you’re importing more than one brush!
Let’s start with the first method. Go to your pen or brushes tab. It doesn’t really matter which since you can then move your new brush to any tab you want. But if you don’t want to have more work later on, choose the tab you’ll want to have your new brush on.
Right-click any brush in it. Again, it doesn’t really matter which one because it won’t replace it. Now go down and click ‘Import Subtool…’. A new window will open and you just need to find the location of your brush and select it. Click Ok and it’s done!
You’ll notice that the brush you just imported will be at the bottom of the list of brushes in that tab. If you wish to change its place simply click and hold it and move the brush to where you want it.
For example, you can create a new Subtool tab, by dragging it to the side of the tab you’re on. You can put it in another Subtool tab by dragging it to the top of an existing tab and releasing it. Finally, you can also create a new brush tool icon on the toolbar. You just need to grab it and drag it in between icons!
The second method is much more simple. You can actually use this method to add just one brush as well. Open up Clip Studio Paint, choose one of the brush or pen tabs. Whichever you prefer. Now open the folder where you have your new brushes.
Select as many as you wish and drag them to the brushes tab. That’s it! The brushes you just imported will appear right away and are now ready to use.
How To Import Brushes Into Clip Studio Paint For iPad
There are different ways to import your Brushes into Clip Studio Paint for iPad. The main difference is where you have them stored. You can save your brushes in the Dropbox, for example.
First, you should open up Clip Studio Paint, and choose one of the brush or pen tabs. Make sure that’s where you want your new brush to be in. Now go to the Dropbox app and select the brush you want. Select ‘Export -> Open In…’, now choose Clip Studio!
And that’s it! If you go back to Clip Studio, you’ll notice your new brush in the tab you left open. If not, try to close and open Clip Studio again to refresh it.
Other than Dropbox, you can also import your brushes from Google Drive! Just like before, be sure the tab where you want your brush to go is open in Clip Studio Paint. Then select the brush you want in Google Drive, select ‘Open In…’ and then ‘Copy to Clip Studio’.
Your new brush should now be ready to use!
Notice that you should have each individual .sut file available both in Dropbox and Google Drive instead of a .zip folder. Be sure to unzip the brushes you want and then you can import them.
Unfortunately, I don’t know of any way of importing more than one brush at a time. You need to go one by one. Still, it is rather simple to import your brushes and once in Clip Studio Paint you can move them to any tab you want, just like we do on the computer!
How To Download Brushes From Clip Studio Assets
Clip Studio Paint has a very handy tool where you can download new and different material. It can be brushes, models, textures, etc. There’s a lot you can find there and they’re made by other artists and Clip Studio users. There are paid assets, but there’s also a vast array of free assets that you can download and use!
To access this, simply open the Material Tab and then select the ‘Search for Additional Materials’ button. Alternatively, you can also click the third icon on the tab below the menus!
To download a brush, you need to have a Clip Studio account. Be sure to register and login before trying to download anything, because it will ask you for it!
Now that you’re set, feel free to search for brushes or other materials. If there’s something you want to use on Clip Studio, simply open it and then click the ‘Dowload’ button to the right.
When you download a brush, you can then go back to Clip Studio Paint, go to the Material bar on the right side of your screen and go to the ‘Download’ folder. The brush you just downloaded should appear there!
If you had this folder already open, you might need to click another folder and then go back to the downloaded material so it refreshes.
Now you just need to grab your new brush and drag it to the Pen or Brush tab you have selected! The brush you downloaded is now ready to use.
Again, you can move it to another tab if you wish to. Just click on it and drag the brush to where you want it to be!
All material assets that you download can be used both for non-commercial and commercial uses. So feel free to explore the materials available and try them out. You can always credit the people that made the assets so other people can find their work as well and use it!
Additional Questions
How do I export clip studio brushes? To export a brush, simply right-click on it then select ‘Export Subtool…’. Choose a location and save it. You can create your own brushes in Clip Studio and export them to share or sell with other people!
Can I give the downloaded material to another person? No. When downloading something from the Asset store you cannot give it to someone else nor sell it as your own. If you want another friend to use it, simply show it to them, so they can download the material as well!
Hello! My name is Liz Staley and I’m a long-time user of Clip Studio Paint (I started using the program back when it was known as Manga Studio 4!). I was a beta-tester on the Manga Studio 5 program and for Clip Studio Paint, and I have written three books and several video courses about the program. Many of you probably know my name from those books, in fact!
On December 10, 2020 Clip Studio Paint released their 1.10.5 version. In this update are several exciting new features that I’ll be covering over the next few weeks. But this week I’m excited to discuss how to use your Photoshop brushes in Clip Studio Paint! There are also some brand new brush options that we’ll be covering in the final part of this article.
In this article we will cover the following topics:
Exporting brushes from Photoshop
Importing .ABR files to Clip Studio Paint
New CSP Brush Options
Let’s get started!
Exporting Brushes from Photoshop
If you’re a long-time user of Photoshop you likely have a collection of your favorite brushes, either made by you or downloaded from the internet. You can now save these brushes from Photoshop and put them into Clip Studio for your use.
Note that from what I’ve tested so far, this process is not perfect. You will likely still have to tweak the imported brushes a bit after transferring them from PS to CSP. But this process will transfer the brush tip material and basic brush information from one program to the other, making it much faster than having to recreate and resave brush materials!
Exporting your brushes from Photoshop is not a difficult process. For this example, I will be saving the “Wet Media Brushes” presets from Adobe Photoshop CS4. Note that when you save brushes from Photoshop, you will save all the presets that are currently loaded in your brush window. That means that if you save a set of brushes that has 50 tools in it, when you transfer that ABR file to CSP you will be loading 50 brushes. If you want to only save and import a few brushes at a time, you will have to change your loaded brushes to just those tools.
From the brush menu in Photoshop, click on “Save Brushes…” as shown above to save the current brush presets to a file. Select the location to save the brushes and type in a file name. Once you’ve completed this step you will have an .abr file that contains your PS brushes, and that is what we’ll use to move these tools to Clip Studio in the next section.
Importing .ABR files to Clip Studio Paint
Importing tools into CSP is just about one of the easiest things you can do! There are two ways to do it, so I’ll share both of those here. The first way is the “long way” - which is really just a few clicks, and the second is my preferred way of importing tools that aren’t coming from the CSP Assets menu!
First you’ll need to decide what overall category of tool that you want to put your PS tools in. For this article, since I’m using brushes that are supposed to imitate wet media, I’m going to choose the “Brush” category. Then in the Subtool window, click on the three horizontal lines in the top left corner to bring up the menu, as shown below, and then click on “Import sub tool…”
Navigate to where you saved your brushes and select the ABR file you want to import. You can see in the following screenshot that I’m selecting the “Wet Media Brushes” abr file I created earlier.
Click on Open and CSP will go to work. If importing multiple tools at once, CSP will create a new subtool group to put the brushes in, as shown below.
Click on the file of tools to import and, while continuing to hold down the mouse button, drag the file into the Sub Tool window. When you’re in the correct spot the cursor will turn into a “+” symbol. Release the mouse button and CSP will import the tools. In the following screenshot you can see the Sumi-e category made in my Decoration tool.
Again, this process is not perfect. You may need to adjust the settings in the Sub Tool Detail menu to get the precise look you’re going for (like changing the opacity and such for a watercolor effect).
Now that we know how easy it is to import Photoshop brushes to CSP, let’s discuss the new brush options in this update.
New CSP Brush Options
There are a few new brush options in this update, so let’s explore them now!
Color Jitter
One of the new brush options in this Clip Studio update is called “Color Jitter” and they produce some truly unique effects! To get to these options, select the sub tool that you want to change the look of and then click on the icon that looks like a little wrench in the bottom right of the Tool Property menu. This icon is indicated by the arrow in the following image.
In the Sub Tool Detail window you will find all the options for personalizing brushes in Clip Studio Paint. The new options for this update are under “Color Jitter” on the left side of the window. Click on it and you will see the options in the image below.
These new options are called “Change brush tip color” and “Randomize per stroke”. You can turn the settings for either one or both by clicking on the checkbox to the left of the option name to activate it. Then use the sliders or the number entry for each option to change the settings.
Each of these new options can control hue, saturation, or luminosity. The image below shows each of the “Change brush tip color” options for a brush turned up to the highest setting to illustrate what the setting does.
As you can see, the Hue setting introduces more colors into the brush tip. The intensity of these colors depend on the base color that you set, too! If you choose a very bright and saturated color for your “brush color” then the tip colors will be very saturated. If you choose a desaturated color as your active color, the random colors will be desaturated. Keep an eye on the brush stroke preview at the top of the Sub tool detail options window to see how the colors change as you choose different active colors.
The saturation option produces a stroke that has differing levers of saturation. In the example stroke above, all the dots in the brush stroke are blue, but some are desaturated to the point of being gray or white, while some are the full saturation of the blue color chosen as my brush color.
Luminosity controls how dark the color gets. Though I’ve used the same blue as my brush color in all the above examples, this stroke has dots that vary from blue to black instead of blue to white!
The Randomize Per Stroke settings have a very different effect, because they change every time you put down a new stroke of your drawing tool. The following image shows these options at their highest settings.
These options are in the same vein as the Change Brush Tip Color, but CSP picks a random amount with each stroke of the tool instead of changing the brush tip as the stroke is made. Each of the color blocks above was made by putting down multiple overlapping strokes of this brush.
By clicking on the icon to the right of each option’s slider, you can also pair each setting to certain parameters such as pen pressure, tilt, velocity, and random.
Brush Tip Shape Flip Horizontal and Flip Vertical
Another new option for brushes can be found under the Brush Tip option in Sub Tool Detail. These options are to Flip the brush tip shape horizontal or vertical in different ways, which is useful for a lot of Decoration tools and spray brushes to get more variety. The dropdown for each of these options can be changed individually for both Horizontal and Vertical. The example below shows some of the options for the Flip Horizontal using a lace brush.
If you’re looking for a lot of variety in your brush tip shapes, these are great options!
Texture Brightness/Contrast and Texture Mode
The final new options we’re going to look at are under the “Texture” heading on the left side of the Sub tool detail window. If you’ve never played with these options, they’re a great way to add, well, texture to your strokes! Unless you’re using a tool that already has a texture applied to it, you’ll need to load a texture first before you can play with the new settings. If there is no texture already set, the box next to the first option in Texture will say “None”, click on that word to select a texture from the installed Materials to apply it to the tool.
Once you’ve selected a texture from the Material library and head back to the Sub Tool Detail screen, you will see that all the texture options are now lit up. The options that have been added to this feature are Brightness, Contrast, and Texture mode, which are now new ways that the texture can interact with your stroke color and brush tip shape. In the image below I’ve used the same tool and color for each stroke, but have changed the texture setting.
Note how different each stroke looks just from changing one option! Remember that you can test the changes you’re making while you’re changing them by having a new canvas open and doing “test swatches” as you change the settings. I love doing this so I can see what an option does to the look of my brush! Being able to change so many parameters to get exactly the look you want from your tools is amazing and really lets you customize your drawings to match your style.
Conclusion
New brush options and the ability to import Photoshop brushes are just the tip of the iceberg for the new updates to Clip Studio Paint with version 1.10.5, but they are definitely the updates that I’ve been most excited about. These open up even more options for creating and customizing your tools and creating a look that is uniquely yours for your art!
