How do you use photoshop cs3 vanishing point on other shapes?
Photoshop CS3s vanishing tool is great for things like cubes. But how and can you get it to work on objects such as pyramids, 3d pac man shapes, spheres, etc…? If possible, and link would be great.
Vanishing point only works using planes and not complex 3D surfaces. It simply let's you compensate for perspective when cloning.
In your example it means you could use it on the side of a pyramid (it is flat), but not on the surface of a sphere.
If this is something you have a lot of need for, you should look into the 3D features of Photoshop CS4 extended and maybe some proper 3D applications.
