Grid lines, Rule of thirds and framing etc?

[Antonio Neto]

Hey guys,

I just saw your video on Vimeo about this open source plugin. I think it's a cool idea, I always wanted to have those stuff available in Maya.

One of the things that would be interesting in have is the possibility to have display custom grid, where you could set how many lines and spacing in % between then like in Photoshop.

This would help particular in the aspects of framing and composition.

Best regards,

Antonio Neto.

Hey Antonio,

Under options you can enable 3'rds.  You can also enable field-guides which will create a grid.  Although it's not exposed in the UI, there is a define to control the grid size if you are downloading the source and compiling.

In the DEFINES.h file look for this:

// Field Guide

#define FIELDGUIDE_NUM_LINES    11

Hopefully that will provide what you are looking for.
