7 years ago I really like this idea. It gave me another idea!
When did you could specify points of perspective, and then draw character stick figures, and then the shot generator would figure out the camera angle and the position of the dummies? That might be really cool.

7 years ago That would be ultra cool. It seems daunting to accommodate that programmatically - then again I'm not much of a programmer. But if there's a shorthand the artist and computer can agree upon and the interface can explain well to the user, I'd love that.

6 years ago Maybe you could also extract perspective from background layers, or even cameras from background images.
If there was a feature that allowed images to be used as backgrounds, you could ask the user to pick an origin and three points for XYZ to setup a co-ordinate system.
Or you could go the other way and use the camera from your shot generator to create XY planes for background matte paintings of sets and scenery.
Either way, linking the camera data used in your shot generator with backgrounds or drawing guides, or extracting camera data from images would help the user to draw in the correct perspective.
Can I place a horizon and 1-3 VPs using the perspective tool and have the Shot Generation system automatically default to my precise placement of VPs?
It's cool that I can go the other way and make the perspective match the generated shots. However, it seems backwards in efficiency and precision to only be allowed to go from a randomly generated shot to a precisely placed grid, rather than precisely placing the grid and having the shot follow suit.
I'd love the shot generation system more if I could at least dial in the angle manually. I'm thinking about how some tools like "Perspective Tool" for Photoshop or Carapace work.

Love how development is going and the worksheet import is really awesome. Thanks guys!
