Repeat Transform to a Vanishing Point:
1. With your object on a new layer press Ctrl+J to duplicate it.
2. Press Ctrl+T to transform your 2nd layer.
3. While in transform mode, hold Alt and Click to move your Centerpoint. Place this on your vanishpoint.
4. Hold Shift to Transform with the same ratio and now scale your image using the relevant anchor point.
5. Press enter to commit.
6. Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+T to Transform Again on a new Layer.
Note: You are not limited to transforming to a vanishing point or any point. You can repeat any transformation. Lots of potential here :)

Hey Tom,

Thank you for posting your shapes and psd's. Right now I can only download the customshape file, the rest of your links for the psd and your photo scraps sill only download the custom shapes. I think they are just pointing to the wrong file.

Thanks again

 

Sheldon

Thanks alot for the resources Tom!

 

I checked your blogs, and I need your complete honesty on this:

Hasn't anyone on ArenaNet try to push you down the stairs?! It's ok, I can keep it secret!!

 

Also, you mentioned on a blog post (April 2010) that you were streaming live when you were doing personal work. You still do that?

David: They push a group of artists down the stairs daily at ArenaNet. I wasn't good enough to get in on that but have other bruises!
I haven't done livestreaming for quite a long time but there are somewhere around 15-20 hours prerecorded on my channel if you're curious.

1. With your object on a new layer press Ctrl+J to duplicate it.
2. Press Ctrl+T to transform your 2nd layer.
3. While in transform mode, hold Alt and Click to move your Centerpoint. Place this on your vanishpoint.
4. Hold Shift to Transform with the same ratio and now scale your image using the relevant anchor point.
5. Press enter to commit.

Hey Tom,

For one of the drawings (the fantasy city thing) you showed some basic 3D mockups and all their renderpasses. You did those renders in a seperate program, could you share which one you used? I work with maya, but their rendering tools are quite complicated, a simplified program with presets woudld help a tremendous lot :)

Thanx for your help,
-Edwin

I've been using Kerkythea with SketchUP but it's been only for very simple renders to serve as starting points for painting :)
