Vanishing Points Problem
Hi to all there ! I am doing al the exercises from your fantastic book for cs4 ! I need some help PLEASE Part 6 Introducing vanishing points (page 121), fig 8 you created the first row of the shutter, but how? I don't find any way to produce it, it will be helpful for me if you can guide me how to do it (plese step by step) I am new in this materia Thanks Micky |

Vanishing Points Problem
Hi Micky, The shutter is hand drawn in perspective. To create the first part of the shutter you should draw two guidelines (in perspective and on a separate layer) from the nearest point to the vanishing point in the photograph. These guides will be thrown away when you have finished. Now, on a separate layer and using those guidelines, you draw the lowest part of the shutter. You can use the pen tool to do this accurately. Shade this layer as you think appropriate. Another way to do this would be to draw the guidelines as paths using the pen tool. You would place the farthest point at the vanishing point then draw the top and bottom lines in perspective. this would be converted to a selection in the paths palette which can then be filled with a colour of your choice; on a new layer of course. Any excess beyond the doorway would be either erased or masked when the shutter is complete. Now duplicate this layer and use Edit>Transform>Distort to move this layer into position as suggested in the book. You should only use the middle handle of the bounding box while holding down the Shift key to constrain the movement to the vertical. You will now have the first two parts of the shutter. Keep this new layer active and use Cmd-Shift-Alt-T. A new layer will be created with the previous transformation automatically applied. Do this as often as required and you will build your shutter in perspective. I hope I haven't confused you too much. I hope this helps.

Hi Micky, Draw a long rectangle on a new layer, filled with gray, then use the Dodge and Burn tools to add shading, finally you can distort it in perspective. _________________ Stefano |
