How to make custom perspective grids in Photoshop

[Main Loop]

This nifty trick was taught to me by a former teacher and should be a lifesaver to anyone who sucks at perspective, like i do

Paths are a very underused feature of photoshop. This is a great example of how handy they are, I use a technique like this all the time.
Thanks a bunch, Main Loop

neat! though does this work with only that kind of perspective, or all kinds of perspectives?

[Main Loop]

any of them that use a vanishing point... try it out and see if it works for you.. only thing it wont work for is isometric perspective

Great dude, I was just messing with the pen tool as a perspective device the other day - this has given me a bunch of ideas.

Say, mind if I link to this puppy in the Peer Project? (Link in sig)

Wow! Good perspective tips. Easy way of making perspective points and lines. Thanks for sharing.

Paths is a great idea. I had been doing something similar with layers.

I heard an interesting idea tonight on Deke McClelland's Martini Hour 017 (http://www.deke.com/content/martini-hour-017-in-which-colleen-discovers-dekes-secret-martini-past-with-bert-monroy) with Bert Monroy as guest.

He uses Illustrator to layout much of his work first, because of the giant off-document workspace area available.

Actually, since you can overextend paths in Photoshop too, I'm not sure I see why Monroy initially goes into Illustrator for that after all

If I remember correctly when watching one of the Massive Black videos I noticed some perspective custom brushes. Anybody know where I can find some of those?

You are prob. referring to the brushes made by m@. , and you should be able to get his brush set here: http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=73169
