Overview of settings

New Settings in 1.1.3

  • Now, vanishing points can be established in two distinct modes: Clicky and Manual.

    • Clicky:

      • Generates empties as Vanishing Points based on your Perspective Type. Clicking (re)Generate will create a new grid based on their location.

      • Empties can be freely moved and used to regenerate the perspective grid as required. (Make sure you are in Object mode so you can select them!)

    • Manual:

      • Retains the traditional method of setting Vanishing Points using precise coordinates

      • While the empties controlling the vanishing points can be repositioned, the regenerated grid relies on the specified coordinates

  • Randomize

    • This will quickly cycle through different perspective grids. Can be useful when brainstorming.

Old Settings:

  • Shared Settings

    • Width: Line Width

    • Strength: Line Strength


    • Line Color: Color (including Alpha) of generated perspective grid.

    • Assist Color: Color (including Alpha) of the perspective assists.

    • (re)Generate Perspective: Generate perspective grid based on selected settings. Replaces non-archived grid. Can have one of each Perspective Type active at a time

    • Clear All: Clear all active Perspective Grids (not ones that were archived)

    • Archive Grid: Renames and moves archive grid objects into an Archive collection. Move it out of the Archive collection to use as reference.

    • Perspective Assists: Create Perspective Assists that follow your mouse around while drawing, always pointing to the appropriate Vanishing Points. ESC cancels. Horizontal and Vertical rulers can be activated on the fly.

      Note: Make sure your Grease Pencil object is selected to see the assists.


    • VP1 Pos: X,Y position of the first Vanishing Point.

  • One Point Perspective

    • Line Count: How Many Lines are Generated

    • Radius: Radius of each line generated

  • Two Point Perspective

    • Draw Ceiling: Mirrors the base perspective grid over VP1 and VP2


    • Draw Verticals: Draws vertical lines over the inner perspective grid


    • Steps: How many lines going toward the perspective grid starting from Obs Pos (IE: how many grid lines are drawn)


    • Perspective Factor: Scale of 0 to 1, dictates how close the grid steps are drawn to the origin vs the vanishing points.


    • Obs Pos: The Observer point (probably can come up with a better name). The frontmost position of the grid

    • VP2 Pos: X,Y position of the second vanishing point.

  • Three Point Perspective

    • All features of Two Point Perspective (except Ceiling)

    • Perspective Factor Y: How big each of the unit of the perspective grid's Y axis is.

    • Verts: Draws the verts for the inner grid (Currently only really useful at low step counts)

    • VP3 Pos. X,Y position of the third vanishing point.
