One of the features of Manga Studio 5 that people ask me about all the time is 3D objects. Manga Studio 5 comes with a set of 3D assets: characters, poses, and a few backgrounds and small objects. These can be added directly to your page, posed and positioned, and used in your artwork. While I usually use these 3D poses as a reference (much like the wooden drawing dolls that you can find in your local craft store), you can conceivably use 3D characters and imported 3D assets from programs such as Poser to create entire comics.
Let's get into the third dimension now, and you will learn how to use these assets in Manga Studio 5.
