Answers

## Questions about this video

What new feature does Perspective Tools 2.4 introduce for layer paths?

The update allows users to restore paths for VPet and Deperspective layers, enabling easier correction and consistent transformations.

How can I fix lens distortion using Perspective Tools 2.4?

You can restore the correct proportions of distorted images by adjusting the perspective grids and using the fix path function to correct elliptical distortions.

Is it possible to flatten an image to paint inside warped shapes?

Yes, by creating perspective grids and applying the perspective warp, you can unfold circular or complex shapes into flat rectangular images for easier painting.

Speaker A

Hi everyone. In this short video, I'd like to talk about the update for Perspective Tools 2.4.

00:15

Speaker A

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

00:29

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.

00:44

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

01:04

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.

01:20

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

01:33

Speaker A

And now I'm just selecting the other layer and hit Warp again, so they have the same transformation.

01:49

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

02:02

Speaker A

This is especially useful when working with the perspective, and I'm going to demonstrate now.

02:19

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

02:34

Speaker A

So I want to unfold this circular window thing.

02:45

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

02:59

Speaker A

I want to unfold it to a flat rectangular image to paint inside the circle later.

03:15

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

03:30

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.

03:44

Speaker A

and have a nice day
