  • How to have text standing instead of laying down in 1 point perspective grid.

    Posted by Kimmi Traeger on August 16, 2016 at 3:13 pm

    I’ve got some text I want to move in ‘3D-space’ looking at it straight and standing.
    I’ve created a 1-point grid, but my text only ‘lays down’ instead of standing up. Is there a way I can have the text standing istead of laying down but still move it back and forth in the space?

    Don’t distort the text, but use the vanishing point as the scaling anchor point for the text.

    Do you mean manually resizing the text and use the perspective grid as a guide?

    Yes.

    Ok – thanks, I’ll just scale it by hand. Thought might have been a smart trick to not have it follow the plane.
