How to do 3D Anamorphic Artwork and Sidewalk, Street, and Driveway Art

Step 3Add perspective to object and black grid.

Add perspective to object and black grid.
Now, using the Add Perspective Effect.
I lined up the black grid with the blue grid, as shown.
I used a lot of pushing, pulling and nudging the nodes in
Add Perspective mode.

This would be the printed image, you would bring to the
sidewalk to draw from.

Draw a grid on the side walk, then copy the lighter into
the grid!
You would want to draw your grid very lightly, so you could
erase or chalk in with the driveway color.

You could also make your grid from some pinstripe tape.
Then peel the tape up, after you have a good sketch done of
your artwork.

Pretty simple, eh...

Thanx 4 the posts but how you changed the black lined grid in the perspective view becus for sidewalk paintings, we should shape it according to the viewer's height and the distance from the bottom of the black grid. How to be sure abt it ?

Hey, quick question. I am using corelx4 and it will not let me use the add perspective effect once I group the object with the black grid. Any suggestions? Great work by the way.
