Designing Stylized Medieval Houses in Clip Studio Paint and Blender

In this tutorial, we will explore the process of designing stylized medieval houses using Clip Studio Paint and Blender. We will start by creating a 2D line art sheet in Clip Studio Paint, which will serve as a reference for our 3D modeling in Blender. Then, we will import assets from the Clip Studio Paint library and use them as a guide to design and model our houses.

To begin, we will draw a texture reference sheet in Clip Studio Paint, sketching simple ideas for doors and windows while paying Attention to the layout and avoiding overlaps. We will also Create elements that can be seamlessly repeated, such as tile textures. Next, we will ink the clean line art using the pen sub tools in Clip Studio Paint, aiming for a simple and bold graphic look that reads well from a distance.

Once our reference sheet is complete, we will move on to Blender to create a 3D base for our houses. We will model low poly houses using the tools available in Blender, ensuring that the building is unwrapped and using the reference sheet for guidance. We will export the models as FBX files and use Clip Studio Modeler to bake the textures to a new map if desired.

Finally, we will import the models into Clip Studio Paint, where they can be used as 3D materials in our illustrations. We can move and rotate the buildings, adjust lighting, and add them to our scenes. Using layer blending modes, we will paint on top of the models to add color, light, and atmosphere while retaining the detail underneath. We will refine our illustrations and showcase the versatility of this technique for sequential art, concept art, and more.

By following this tutorial, You will learn how to seamlessly integrate 2D line art and 3D modeling to create stylized medieval houses. Let's get started and unleash your creativity!
