Launch Blender, or create a new one, with a blank environment on the layout, then press the N key on your keyboard, you will see a toolbar on the right side of the page, click on the tab labeled 'PEP' and you will see a basic menu. The top two buttons allow you to load motion data from FBX files created by 3D graphics tools such as Mixamo or Rokoko, or from BVH files, a generic data format for motion capture.

The option "Base Pose", which shows on the right side of the open file dialog, specifies the pose of the model with no motion applied to the motion data to be imported. Most models are in T pose (standing vertically with arms outstretched to the sides); the accuracy for models in A pose (standing vertically with arms slightly wholesale) or I pose (upright) is less than in T pose. So if it generates poor posture, please adjust the angle in the "Adjust arm angles" section. The option "Reference Pose" specifies whether the rest pose or the pose the model is in at the first frame should be considered the "Base Pose". You can check if a rest pose is defined in the model to be imported, select "Rest Position" in the "Skeleton" information of the target model. The program automatically strings joint data, but if those names are not in English or use abbreviations (e.g. Shoulder as sldr), the stringing of joints will fail and the motion data will not be reflected correctly. In this case, please deal with the problem by changing the names of the joint data in the base model or motion as follows: Some models have more joints than this, but those data are omitted during conversion, so there is no need to force a change.

If you want to import from VMD, which is MikuMikuDance motion data, or VPD, which is pose data, press the two buttons in the center. The options that can be specified during import are identical to those described in the Official Documentation, but basically do not need to be changed.

Depending on the model on which the pose is based, the shoulders may be misaligned. In this case, you can compensate by checking the "Adjust sholder" checkbox in the Import Options.

Before check	After check

Once the file you want to load is specified, the motion data will be placed and transformed and optimized to match the Clip Studio model. Note that data with long motions (or very smooth motions) will take longer to convert, and Blender will seem to freeze while converting.

howto_frame Once you have changed the animation frame and the pose you wish to incorporate into Clip Studio is displayed, press the bottom button "Export in Clip Studio format" to save it as a file. If “Render thumbnail” is checked, the current model is saved as a thumbnail image in the same folder as the pose file.

Drag and drop this saved file (.pep extension) directly onto the 3D pose model you wish to edit in Clip Studio Paint to apply the pose content. Due to differences in gender, height, physique, etc., between the original model and the motion, there pose will not match the original perfectly, so please adjust any unnatural parts in Clip Studio in a timely manner. The data containing the converted motion can be exported from this file again by saving it as a blend file.

If you want to load and edit another motion file because it will be affected by the pose data you are editing, you should delete all models on the layout by executing a new creation, for example.
