Please add a Perspective grid tool to the Grids & Axis Manager Advanced tab


Recommended Posts

So I have both Designer and Photo. I mainly use both for Digital painting and Matte painting or photobashing (concept art environment stuff)

I recently started using the isometric grid and the isometric tools in Designer to create blueprints for interiors before I do a painting of them in Photo, to get scale worked out

Anyways, I currently create perspective grids in Photo for painting over by using the star tool and overalapping 2 or 3 of them to create a perspective grid which I can then trace over and line things up to with the perspective tool.

After using the isometric grid & axis manager and plane tools in Designer, it would be amazing if something like that could be built for doing 2 and 3 point perspective grids in both programs.

An option for "Perspective" could be added to the Advanced tab in Grid & Axis Manager.

It would be awesome if had the following features/controls:

  1. Choose 2 or 3 points (this would do for 90% of peoples use cases)
  2. Allow each pivot point to be moved in X an Y directions with sliders or by entering coordinates and seeing updates onscreen in real time as with the other grids
  3. Allow for each points lines to be different colors and opacities
  4. Allow 2 or 3 points to be constrained/mirrored by other points, so for example when setting up a 2 point perspective grid: moving the left point in, out, up or down would also automatically be mirror on the right side, without needing to position each seperately
  5. This is probably not quite possible, but if snapping to the resulting grid lines was possible that would be really useful. But even just having a visual grid to trace over while painting and positioning photos with the perspective tool for photobashing would satisfy me

Really hope something like this can be added in future. There was never anything like this in Photoshop or Illustrator either, and it always seemed like such an obvious feature to me.

I love Designer and Photo. Really amazing products
