When Krita 5.x came out, I took a look and discovered that they had even better perspective guides than AutoDesk Sketchbook. But this takes time, and (if you’re like me and you pan and zoom constantly) you end up having to do this often, which kinda defeats the purpose of automating it in the first place.Īnd really, if the general consensus of the Krita development team and user base is that a request like this doesn’t fetch enough return on the investment, I can completely understand that.Even though I really like the Affinity suite of programs, I had been sticking with an old version of AutoDesk Sketchbook for doing my sketches, because it has nice perspective drawing guides, that allow me to A) Import a photo of a room or building, B) Insert perspective guides and align them with the actual lines in the photo, then C) Easily sketch out a project that I want to build, over that photo.īefore V2 came out, I hadn't really been thinking of the Affinity programs as effective tools to do rough sketching. There are workarounds, sure - at 100% zoom, I can mark off the center line, horizon line, and the vanishing points, and if I need to pan or zoom then I can adjust the ruler back to roughly the correct place.

If you’ve set up a perspective ruler and started drawing, you have to be careful not to pan or zoom the viewer or the rulers will then be placed and sized incorrectly relative to your document.

Yes, the tools all technically work after hooking LN to Krita, but the perspective rulers are static and keep their absolute size and placement regardless of changes to the viewer. When you pan and zoom, the rulers keep their size and placement relative to the document, which means your center line, horizon line, VPs, tick distance, etc., are always spot on, regardless of changes to the viewer. With the plugin installed, the user experience with perspective rulers in PS is very different than it is in Krita.

If you’re not familiar with the Lazy Nezumi plugin for Photoshop, I can understand why you’d feel this way.
