Moving objects in 3D space

Now that we've learned how to add a 3D object to our canvas, we can move and pose that object on our canvas. It requires time, practice, and patience to learn how to pose 3D characters in Clip Studio Paint, but once you know the basics of 3D space, then you'll become an expert in no time!
