whether any adjustments are properly scaled and oriented in your clip. Objects can be placed anywhere on
this plane. Aligning objects to the perspective grid has multiple benefits:
■ You can perform a 4-corner pin with a surface or geometry that respects the perspective.
■ Aligning the grid establishes the orientation of the plane in 3D space and the Field of View (FOV) of the
camera that shot the scene.
■ You can straighten the perspective of attached objects in 2D mode.
■ Because the Perspective Grid node has an axis-like behaviour, objects attached to it inherit the grid's 3D
transformations.
Aligning an Object with a Perspective Grid
To align an object with a perspective grid:
1 Click Media.
2 In the Media menu, select the media you want to use for the perspective grid.
This media becomes the reference for the perspective grid alignment.
3 Do one of the following:
■ Drag the Perspective Grid node from the node bin and place it in the schematic.
■ Drag the Perspective Grid node from the node bin and place it where you want it in Result view.
■ Double-click the Perspective Grid node. You do not need to be in Schematic view to add a node in
this manner.
The Perspective Grid object is added to the schematic. In the Schematic view, the number in brackets
next to the name of the node indicates the media used for the perspective grid reference (0 refers to
the back clip).
To specify different perspective grid reference media, select the media in the Media menu, then click
Apply.
4 With the Perspective Grid object selected in the schematic, select Action Object Solo view from the
View box (or press F8) to see the grid and the selected media.
