perspective rulers for TVPaint

[Animark]

Hello,

I remember some older posts dealing with some ideas for a perspective ruler in TVPaint:

I few weeks ago I was able to buy a software called "Manga Studio 4 EX" for a very low price and yesterday I started to play with it. One very interesting feature is the Perspective Ruler, availiable as 1, 2 and 3 point perspective. In my opinion, it is a very good inspiration when thinking about implementing a kind of a perspective ruler into Tvpaint.
Here are some point I liked:
- possibility to have different rulers on special ruler-layers
- every other layer is able to be affected by a ruler-layer (snap-function)
- every line you draw on a layer can be affected by the ruler-layer, even when there is no visible perspective line. Meaning every line you draw is fitting in the perspective, when snapping is enabled.

Here is a nice tutorial, where somebody talks about the perspective ruler and shows, how it works.

It is about 17 minutes long, if you don't have the time, just try to catch these minutes:
- 02:00 to 06:00
- 10:00 to 13:00
- 14:00 to 16:00

I am not sure If I would really need a tool like this, or how many TVPaint users would love this or even not - but for me the concept works great - much greater than the analogues tool in adobes illustrator.

i haven't tested this myself, but it looks like it could be of use to some.
