Adjusting horizon line settings

To adjust horizon line settings in Corel Painter, you can modify the appearance of perspective guides by repositioning the horizon line, the vanishing point, and the primary lines. You can access and adjust all perspective guide-related settings in the Perspective Guides panel, which can be placed and kept open in your workspace if you frequently make changes to the guides.

The Perspective Guides tool in the toolbox allows you to control the display of the primary lines by adjusting the primary lines settings on the property bar. You can also adjust the perspective guide settings using the Stroke flyout on the Brush tool property bar, the property bar of the Perspective Guides tool, or the Perspective Guides panel.

If you are using the feature for the first time, select the Perspective Guides tool, adjust the options to your preference, and save them as a preset. During painting, you can enable or disable the guides, change view options, and select presets from the Stroke Options flyout on the Brush tool property bar.

You can also delete presets and restore the default settings if needed.

You can change the colour and opacity of perspective lines in Corel Painter. To do so, follow these steps:

• In the toolbox, click on the "Perspective Guides" tool.
• Adjust the perspective guide settings by using the "Stroke" flyout on the "Brush Tool" property bar, the property bar of the "Perspective Guides" tool, or the "Perspective Guides" panel.

• You can modify the appearance of perspective guides by repositioning the vanishing point, horizon line, and primary lines. When repositioning the vanishing point, you can move both the horizon and primary lines or only the primary lines by constraining the movement of the vanishing point along the horizon line.
• Change the colour and opacity of all lines to your desired settings. You can also increase or decrease the density of the intermediate lines.

Remember that you can always hide the perspective guides when you no longer need them.

Adjusting the perspective field

When you draw in perspective, CorelDRAW automatically creates a perspective field and allows you to add lines and shapes that align with the perspective lines. The perspective field can be selected and enlarged as needed, to display the horizon line and both vanishing points. You can also drag to place the perspective field, or press Enter to fill the entire page.

The position of the viewer is indicated by camera lines, which are hidden by default. You can move the camera line to increase or decrease the distance between the viewer and the depicted objects. Moving the camera line does not change existing objects but impacts how an object appears when it is moved to the active plane.

You can adjust the perspective field by moving vanishing points, horizon lines, and camera lines. You can also resize the viewport. To reset the perspective field, click Edit Undo, and draw the perspective field again.

To prevent accidental changes to the perspective field, click the Lock perspective field button on the floating toolbar. You can also control the display of the horizon line and intermediate lines by clicking the Perspective Guides tool in the toolbox and adjusting the settings on the property bar.
