Clip Studio Paint EX v4.0.1

Clip Studio Paint EX is the full edition of the drawing application built around comic and manga production. The brush engine responds to pen pressure, tilt and velocity, and the vector layer type keeps line work editable as strokes with control points long after it has been drawn.

The EX tier adds what the Pro edition leaves out: a frame-by-frame animation timeline, multi-page story management with two-page spreads, and a wider set of 3D head and body reference models for posing characters before drawing over them. The package installs offline as a pre-activated build.
