It's the closest thing I've seen to software actually emulating the use of physical drawing aids like rotatable rulers and ellipse templates. It works by affecting cursor movement at the system level, "smoothing" your pointing device movements to constrain to the on-screen guides that it effectively "overlays" within that window. You just launch it and then click the application window that you want to work within. The drawing or painting program you're using doesn't even know it's there. It sort of gives your computer some drawing smarts, instead of just a particular graphics program. LPN's claim-to-fame is that it is not an "add-on" for any particular graphics program. Meanwhile, as Frozen mentioned, to those who haven't yet, it really is worth looking at Lazy Nezumi Pro. It's not really that different from the already existing perspective transform tools in Photo, which are also not real 3D.Ībove is a quick video I recorded showing how this add-on fakes perspective when loading it into Affinity. These perspective tools rely on mathematical equations to fake the perspectives in a non-3D environment. Heck, you can even load that add-on manually in the Affinity Suite to make all its perspective tools work, although it's slightly buggy since it doesn't fully support Affinity, and will not be supported as long as the programs lack high precision tablet input (which will be added at some point according the the devs).
#LAZY NEZUMI FISHEYE VANISHING POINTS PRO#
Lazy Nezumi Pro does the thing va2m is asking for and it does not rely on 3D support to work, or a grid for that matter.
I'm not sure that this is practical without actual 3D support, which Designer does not have, and probably never will based on past comments from the developers.
A perspective grid would need to juggle an infinite number of planes leading away from the eye, which is a whole other ball game. The existing grids all have a limited number of well-defined planes to operate on.
