Hi everyone. In this short video, I'd like to talk about the update for Perspective Tools 2.4.
Overview of Perspective Tools 2.4 update, focusing on path restoration and perspective grid features for image warping and painting.
Key Takeaways
- Perspective Tools 2.4 enables restoring and fixing paths on layers with perspective transformations.
- Multiple perspective grids can be used to accurately warp and unfold complex shapes.
- The update addresses lens distortion issues by allowing proportion restoration.
- Users can flatten images to simplify painting and texture application.
- The tool supports easy toggling between warped and original perspectives.
What the video covers
- Introduction to Perspective Tools version 2.4 update by Sergey Kritskiy.
- New feature allows restoring paths for VPet and Deperspective layers.
- Demonstration of creating perspective grids to warp layers to the same coordinates.
- Explanation of fixing distorted perspective caused by lens distortion.
- Method to unfold circular or elliptical shapes into flat rectangular images for painting.
- Using multiple perspective grids (X, Y, Z) to define transformations precisely.
- Ability to remove perspective from entire images for easier editing and texture use.
- Restoring original perspective by hitting warp to revert transformations.
- Practical use cases for painting and editing within warped perspectives.
- Encouragement to ask questions and feedback on the new features.

same coordinates so first I create a path then I warp my first layer and while it is still selected I can hit fix path to restore the path that was used to the layer and now I'm just selecting
Speaker A
To start, it's possible now to restore paths for VPet layers and Depers Perspec toied layers. In this example, I want to warp two of these layers to the same coordinates.
Speaker A
I want to unfold it to Flat rectangular image to paint inside the circle later to do this I first create two sets of perspective grids trying to figure out what parallel lines in the image best to use for my GDs now I think it
Speaker A
So first, I create a path, then I warp my first layer, and while it is still selected, I can hit Fix Path to restore the path that was used for the layer.
Speaker A
because this is a photo and it had some Distortion from lenses the perspective failed to restore right proportions and uh this is not a circle but more like a ellipse so what I'm going to do now is I'm going to restore the proportions of
Speaker A
And now I'm just selecting the other layer and hit Warp again, so they have the same transformation.
Speaker A
coordinates of the original dep perspective I are written in the layer I can use fixed path to St those coordinates and then simply warp my layer back to the original coordinates and now if I'm going to paint with
Speaker A
This is especially useful when working with the perspective, and I'm going to demonstrate now.
Speaker A
if I want to remove the perspective from the whole image just create two perspective grids select a layer and hit the perspective and the hold image is flat now so I can just cut pieces and use textures later and the last addition to the
Speaker A
So I want to unfold this circular window thing.
Speaker A
have three grids two horizontal for x and for Z and one vertical for y and you can easily Define the Y grid with the color function so when you have all three grids you just select your layer and hit the perspective and now the Y
Speaker A
I want to unfold it to a flat rectangular image to paint inside the circle later.
Speaker A
to restore the original path hit warp and the and my image will be warped in the original perspective that's it for this update I hope you'll find those functions useful I use them quite a lot so as always if you have any questions
Speaker A
To do this, I first create two sets of perspective grids, trying to figure out what parallel lines in the image are best to use for my grids.
Speaker A
and have a nice day
