Additional notes for the Perspective Plug-in

1) One and two point perspective

The plugin can be set to different modes to use a single vanishing point or two vanishing points (paths do not attach the grid automatically)

 

2) Path or guidelines

The plugin can be used either to create paths or to create guidelines, the guidelines can be used for path alignment and much more

 

3) Creates vanishing point guidelines

The guideline can be used for scaling / rotation / slant transformations and more along with guidelines for path perspective designs (such as for text)

 

4) Vanishing point

The vanishing point of the grid can be modified to create a basic grid or a grid zooming off to the left or right or an intense corner zoom design or skyscraper zoom designs and much more. The grid size and start position can be modified to create many different 3D grid designs

 

5) Presets

PerspectiveGrid plugin comes with a huge selection of presets to help you get started with the plugin set

 

6) Tumble button

Simply click the tumble button to experiment with 100s and 100s of different designs from the basic grid to totally extreme grid and many different 3D grid designs in between

 

7) Convergence and projection

The plugin modifies the convergence of frames and lines as well as the approach to the VP as well as the projection lines and approach of the lines to the VP and much more, also packed with randomization features and interpolation features to create many different designs from the basic grid

 

8) Curvature

The grid can be basic straight lines or the grid lines can be curved in different directions to create many different and unique grid designs

 

9) Rotation and transformation

The grid can be rotated and modified in many different ways

 

10) Patterns

The plugin set can be set into pattern / tile mode where the grid is duplicated as a tile. Many different tile centers can be used such as the start position of the grid or the document centrer or random center. Many millions of colorful grid designs can be created

 

11) Colorful designs

The grid can be filled with colorful lines and background colors in many 100s of ways using many different color apply methods such as target to a color, alternate color, inverted color settings, random colors and many more. The colors can be modified to use the swatches from the swatches palette as well as creating different application rates of color.

 

12) Randomization

The grid can be filled with different opacity lines to creates sketch like grids, or apply randomization of creation of lines to create random designs of grids or randomization of curvature to create unusual curved grid designs.

 

13) Measurements

The plugin also can display the size / start position / vanishing point position / 'final' frame size in points (default) / centimetres / feet / inches / millimetres (approx guidelines measurements)

 

 

Tutorial 1 patterns

 

1) Use the basic default grid (one point mode) - set fill to white and stroke to black

 

2) Set the vanishing point coordinates to the top right of the grid (if the grid size is 600 600 then set the VP settings to 500 500

 

3) Goto to the modify panel

 

4) Set the pattern mode to be about the document zero position 0,0, this creates four identical grids but rotated and flipped.

 

5) Goto the styles palette

 

6) Change the fill setting (first dropdown) to target setting 'to swatch'

 

7) Set the next field to the a swatch number (say 12.. red)

 

8) Click OK to create the tiled grid
