Mark Oehlschlager Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 This is a request for both a vertical and a horizontal cylinder preset for the Vector Warp feature. The use case need is for wrapping vector art around a cylinder (bottle/can) object where the art correctly diminishes and foreshortens as it wraps around the cylindrical object. Presently, one can start with the Fisheye preset and make adjustments, but it would be a timesaver if there were vertical and horizontal cylinder presets as well. Additionally, would it be possible for there to be rotation and perspective parameters to get the mesh to match the orientation of the photographed bottle/can/column?

Mark Oehlschlager Posted November 12, 2022 Author Share Posted November 12, 2022 Note: I have had some success nesting vector warps to achieve the correct look of a label on a bottle/cup in perspective. I start with a simple Quad preset on my label, and pull the top and bottom borders out to create a bulge in the center, consistent with the foreshortening effect of label elements as they would wrap around to the back of a bottle form. I then nest this Label warp group as clipped child layer within a tall rectangle that will be my bottle. I then apply a simple Quad preset to the Bottle rectangle, and pull the top and bottom borders down or up to match the correct foreshortening of the bottle ends consistent with my imagined perspective, or POV. This warps both the Bottle shape and the nested Label layer group. Finally, I apply a third vector warp to the Bottle warp group layer: the False Perspective vector warp. I pull the top corners of the Bottle group up and out to match the foreshortening of the bottle consistent with my imagined perspective. Of course one can then add highlights and shading with gradients in Overlay blend mode. So, it is possible to creatively combine several nested vector warp groups.
