Model View

Once you have a fully painted drawing, you can use it as a colour model and load it in the Model view. This drawing can be used and loaded in any of your Storyboard Pro scenes.

Once a drawing is loaded in the Model view, you can use the Colour Eyedropper Dropper Tool tool to select a colour from the model and use it to paint in the Camera or Drawing view without having to pick the colour from the colour palette.

Do one of the following:

  • From the top menu, select Windows > Model.
  • From any of the other views, click the Add View button and select Model.
