Importing 3D objects in Anime Studio

Post by Furpuss »

Gotta question for all you brainiacs out there. When I import a 3D object into AS it renders with a thick black, ugly line. I was hoping they would be vectors so I could color them, adjust the line weight, etc. just like any other vector object in AS.

Does anyone know any way to convert 3D objects into editable vector objects?

Thanks,

You can't edit a 3d model as a vector, but you can change the outline in the 3d Layer Proprieties (and maybe also in style window, advanced)

Well, it's possible - kind of. Just long-winded. First, get your outline right, as selgin suggests above. Then take a 'snapshot using Ctrl-R, and export the result (png format is good). Then you can vectorise the result. Don't use Anime Studio for this -- there are better tools out there. The best I can remember is: Vector Magic. You get one free try, then there is an online subscription, I think. Worth looking into, anyway, if that's what you want to do.
You can't have everything. Where would you put it?
