2ddpainter Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Hello Maybe some of you know Lazy Nezumi already. Lazy Nezumi Pro = LN is a Tool that allows you to paint with Rulers in Graphicsprograms that don't have this Rulers. Originally, I believe, it was used as an Tool for Photoshop. But you can use it with many other Graphicsprograms. LN only run under Windows, unfortunately there is no Mac version. Normally People are using LN in Bitmap/Paintprograms like Affinity Photo, to name one. But !!! You can use it in Vectorgraphicsprograms e.g Affinity Designer too. This may open possibilities you may not have thought of bevor and LN works great with Vectorprograms. As you may know Affinity Designer has some Rulers or you also can copy and move your lines like one. But i think with LN you can often paint your Lines more directly without the need to refit, rotate or move them later. So, try it for your self ;-) LN has the following rulers, to name a few: Ellipse Quadratic Bezier Cubic Bezier Perspective Ellipse Radial Lines Parallel Lines Connected Lines Vanishing Lines Linear Perspective Isometric Perspective Fisheye Perspective Some of these rulers can also be combined with the L-Function of LN, this results in some unusual possibilities. Here is a Link to the LN Webseite that will show the Rulers in a Video.https://lazynezumi.com/rulers There is also a 15 Day Trial Version. To use LN you need the following Steps: - Start LN. - Start your Graphicsprogram e.g Affinity Designer. - In LN go to Menu and select File > Hook Window - Now select the Affinity Designer Screen and put your Cursor over the Affinity Designer Screen, after a few Seconds LN will capture/hook the Affinity Designer Screen so all the Rulers of LN will now work with Affinity Designer. - Push the Startbutton in LN and you are ready to go. By press the Startbutton again you can also switch off LN for a while if you like to draw with no rulers. I find LN from case to case quite practical at times and it can be used in many differend Graphicsprograms. I hope you find this Tip useful for you paintings. Wish you a nice day. 2ddpainter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
