Precise 2:1 isometric ruler layer template.
Greetings, please note that this guide is made while I am using Clip Studio Paint Ex 1.9.4. The information could be outdated and wrong if new versions are released.
This is a precise 2:1 ratio isometric perspective ruler that is so happened to be possible to be created, with steps listed below for anyone that wishes to know.
To use: download, then from the downloads folder of materials browser within Clip Studio Paint, drag and drop onto the canvas to create the layer template. You may drag the ruler outside of the canvas area so it wouldn't get in the way, and it will remain usable.
Addtional information, this is how this 2:1 isometric ruler is created, for anyone that wishes to know:
- Right click a layer > Ruler-Frame > Create Perspective Ruler, choose 3-point perspective to create the ruler.
- Notice that the guides radiating from the left and right vanishing points are actually 2:1 lines.
- It's so happened that this is the case, which easily let us create this isometric ruler. It wouldn't have been possible otherwise because Clip Studio Paint ruler points do not give us any option for precision.
- Right click one of any of those guides created and uncheck "fix eye level".
- Select your perspective tool and change the operation to "infinitize".
- Proceed to click on the left, right, and vertical 2:1 perspective guides to infinitize them, the vanishing points will become infinite.
- An additional infinitized vanishing point can be created for the horizontal guide.
- Voila! You've created a 2:1 isometric perspective ruler layer!
- If the guide gets in the way, just drag it out of the canvas and it should remain usable.
However, no matter how precise it is, Clip Studio Paint is not a software made for pixel art.
Only the line tool with brush size radius of 1 and up can draw 2:1 line seamlessly. Make sure to disable antialising for the line tool, or just create a second line tool meant for pixel art.
To display line while drawing with the line tool, go into preferences, tool tab, and uncheck "Use simple display for lines being created with the figure tool".
Thank you, I hope it is useful for some!
