Perfect Perspective Add-On For Blender Grease Pencil

by Nerses Chorekchyan in Addons


A simple perspective toolkit for Blender Grease Pencil.


Key Features:

  • Create Personalized Perspective Grids

  • Drawing Assists always point you to your vanishing points

These have various customizations and features documented below.

Questions? Concerns? Please reach out!

New features 1.1.3

  • "Clicky" Mode. You can now drag and drop vanishing points (represented by empties) rather than using numerical coordinates. Make sure your blender viewport is in Object mode.

  • Randomization option

Here are a couple time lapse sketches to get a sense of how this works (no audio).

The first video below will show how to setup the tool for usage. The second shows a quick sketch made using the tool

Notes:

  1. To move the vanishing points in Clicky mode, you must be in object mode (2D Animation defaults to Draw mode).

  2. To see the Perspective Assists, you must have a Grease Pencil object selected (Normally you will select the Grease Pencil object you are drawing on, and switch to draw mode.)

Known Issues / Limitations:

  • Using Perspective Assists with manual rotation of Grease Pencil objects is not supported at this time (Scale + Move works fine)

  • While archived grids can be used as reference, they cannot be used with Perspective Assists (This will be fixed in a later release)

  • For the Three Point perspective grid, some unexpected behavior may occur If multiple VPs and the Obs Pos have the same X and/or Y values. Tweak values slightly to avoid issues.
