Blender 4 Users: If you can't see the perspective control lines, make sure you have the latest version of Perspective Plotter (v1.1.2+) and that your graphics drivers are up to date.  You may also need to restart your computer.  Contact me if you have any issues at [email protected]

What is Perspective Plotter?

Match a camera to an image with Perspective Plotter, an interactive Blender add-on for modelers, architects and artists. This is useful for creating 3D models from 2D sketches, matching a 3D scene to a 2D photo, or animating a camera dynamically. 

Defining perspective lines in the viewport sets a camera’s focal length, location and position in real time. The add-on will also work with more than one camera in a scene.

Additional tools allow you to match a camera’s background image proportions, quickly move vertices or objects along the view line, and automatically flatten the horizon.

The add-on is inspired by the freely available fSpy application, with the added benefit of being directly inside Blender.  

This add-on assumes understanding of 1, 2 and 3 point perspectives as well as a working knowledge of Blender.

Features

  • Dynamically match the camera in real time using perspective guides.
  • Choose from 1, 2 or 3 point perspective modes.
  • Determine scale of the scene using a measuring guide.
  • Animate the camera using keyframe buttons.
  • Match background image proportions.
  • Flatten horizon line automatically.
  • Customize colors and opacity of guide lines.
  • Freeze guides in place to prevent accidental changed.
  • Use the bundled Move Along View tool to help model 3D meshes from 2D sketches.
  • Change axes of vanishing points.
  • Change camera midpoints and camera target location.
  • Read the documentation at https://perspective-plotter.readthedocs.io/

Inspired by fSpy

fSpy is a free standalone camera matching application that can be used to match and import camera settings into other 3D tools including Blender.
