Modeling

Max. number of texture files per model

This refers to the images of the parts which compose a character or other subject arranged side-by-side. These are the images necessary to output a model for incorporation into an SDK.

No limits
Max. 1 (up to 2048 px)

Max. number of ArtMesh

The PSD images that are loaded in the Modeling tab are automatically allocated a mesh for each layer and are arranged on the canvas. Each of these is known as an “ArtMesh.”
Note: In general, the number of layers in a PSD is equal to the number of ArtMesh.

No limits
Max. 100

Max. number of Motion Parameters

These parameters are settings that express particular movements such as [Angle X] or [Mouth open/close]. The created parameters are combined using the Timeline to express motion.

Learn more

No limits
Max. 30 (including the number of Blend Shape Parameters)

Max. number of Blend Shape Parameters

Blend Shape is a function that creates a new form by adding together the differences between the original object form and the key form.
The Blend Shape Parameters are special parameters that can be used to add the Blend Shape key form. Unlike deformation using normal parameters, deformation using Blend Shape provides a deformation mechanism that does not require the user to consider the number of parameters which are combined.

No limits
Max. 3

Max. number of Deformers

Deformers are available where you can deform and move all of the ArtMesh vertices together.
Note: The maximum is the total number of Warp Deformer and Rotation Deformers.

Learn more

No limits
Max. 50

Number of parts

The component elements of a character (such as the eyes and nose) are divided into groups in units called “parts.” Each part can be conveniently displayed/hidden, locked, and selected. Each part is a folder, and these can be nested for management in multiple hierarchical levels.
Note: Number of parts = Number of folders

No limits
Max. 30

ArtPath

Objects have been added which are ideal for animating line expressions such as profile lines or wrinkles in clothing. These support parameter-based deformation and can provide a higher level of free expression while maintaining the quality of the original illustration.

No limits
Max. 3

Number of Warp Deformer divisions

Increasing the number of divisions for Warp Deformer conversion allows you to reproduce detailed movements along the shape of the Deformer.

Max. 100 × 100
Max. 9 × 9

Edit Form (Copy, Paste, Blend)

These functions allow an object form (shape, opacity, draw order, etc.) to be copied and either pasted directly into a different key form or blended.

Learn more

PRO OK

Sort parameter structure of selected objects

This feature unifies the parameter structure of the selected object (curve, image, or coordinate system).
For example, when applied to objects A and B that have different parameter structures, the parameters of A and B will be given the same structure.

PRO OK

Apply parameters to child objects

This deletes the selected Deformer and applies the parameters of the deleted Deformer to the child objects.

PRO OK

Resize model

Changes the size of a model in the Modeling tab.
This is convenient when adding movement results in the model extending beyond the edge of the canvas.

PRO OK

Draw Order group

This feature sets a Draw Order for a part, and temporarily assigns the same Draw Order as the parent group to all objects within that part.
This causes the entire part to behave as a single layer.

Learn more

No limits
Max. 2

Multi view

This allows you to display multiple views from any position.
It is possible to move, add, or remove tabs within the view area.

Learn more

PRO OK

Preset auto mesh-mapping

The current values for the six setting items that can be configured in the [Automatic Mesh generator] dialog box can be saved as the preset values.

Learn more

No limits
Presets cannot be added.

Save snapshot as a guide image

This convenient feature allows a snapshot to be used as a guide for the amount of deformation when creating key forms.

Learn more

PRO OK

Lock default form

This locks the default key form and prevents it from being edited. For example, it prevents a key form of the original illustration from being accidentally changed.

Learn more

PRO OK

Repeat

This feature joins the parameter right end and left end in a loop to produce repeating motion.

Learn more

No limits
Max. 2

Solo view

This feature allows the selected object to be instantly displayed and edited on its own.

Learn more

PRO OK

Focus on selected object

The selected object is displayed in the center of the viewing area.

Learn more

PRO OK

Repeat creation of Warp Deformers

Multiple Deformers can be created in succession without closing the dialog box.

PRO OK

Repeat creation of Rotation Deformers

Multiple Deformers can be created in succession without closing the dialog box.

PRO OK

Copy & paste of mesh

By combining the Mesh copy & paste and inversion functions, it is possible to efficiently create an object mesh that is laterally or vertically symmetrical.

PRO OK

Auto-detect objects outside parent Deformer boundary

This performs verification to detect any child Deformers or ArtMesh vertices that are outside the parent Warp Deformer.

Learn more

No limits
There are limits to the Deformer verification function.

CSV import/export of IDs and names

The names and IDs of model ArtMesh, Deformers, parts, parameters, and all other objects can be exported as a CSV file.
The exported file can be opened with Excel or a text editor, edited, and then imported again to apply changes to all objects at once.

PRO OK

Extension Interpolation

In addition to the conventional parameter interpolation method (linear interpolation), elliptical interpolation and SNS interpolation can also be selected.
This can prevent shrinkage in expressions of hair movement that directly deform the ArtMesh.

Learn more

No limits
Limited to 30 parameters

Onion Skin

This function allows the developer to check consecutive drawing results at the same time by displaying the conditions before and after in translucent form.
In the Modeling tab, the trajectory can be displayed as lines in order to visualize the motion.

Learn more

No limits
There are limits to the Show Trajectory function.

Multiply Color, Screen Color

These functions can multiply and screen-synthesize the specified colors for an object.
Because the specified colors can be interpolated as a key form, it is possible to embed color changes such as opacity into the movement.

PRO OK

Animation

Form Animation

It is now possible to directly edit a model shape in the timeline without adjusting the movement in the Modeling tab.
Fine adjustments can be made in the Animation tab to match the desired animation movement.

Learn more

All objects
ArtMesh only

Frame Step

This sets steps of 2 or 3 frames in the timeline and can be used to reproduce sharp movement such as limited animation.

Learn more

No limits
3 frame step only

Image Sequence Track

This function arranges in a special track all the images that were exported as an image sequence.
The Time Remap function can be used to adjust the display timing in the Graph Editor for the arranged image sequence.

PRO OK

Output image sequence

Outputs the animation as a sequence of still images.

No limits
Max. size: 1280 × 720 px

Output GIF animation file

Outputs the animation as a GIF animation. Settings such as framerate and looping can be configured.

Gather files

Copy and export the animation file along with the material you are using.
It is used to preserve animations as archives or hand them over to other workers, and can avoid accidents such as material files or links being lost.

Runtime Model Track

This function imports a runtime model as a track into a scene. You can import a runtime model into the timeline in order to create animation.
