Easy Perspective Lines & Grids - for Unreal Engine

The perfect addition to Concept Art Shader 2.

Easy Perspective Lines & Grids is a blueprint tool for Unreal Engine, which enables you to quickly create perspective lines in your scene, or spawn a perspective grid, which supplements the default engine grid with several advanced functionalities. Great for artists who want to give their 3D scene a drawn or sketched look.

Perspective Lines are spawned along the bounds of an actor, they do not trace every single edge. They accurately follow the rotation, location, and scale of the actor. Lines can be generated along all axes of the actor. They can be created at the corners, tangents, or center of the bounds.

A Perspective Grid can be spawned along all axes and set up freely. It can be 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional. There can be multiple grids in one level.

How to add this asset to an existing project:

To add Easy Perspective Lines & Grids to another project, first make sure the existing project is running on Unreal Engine version 4.26 or higher. Both PerspLinesAndGrids.uproject as well as the .uproject you want to merge it to, need to be on the same engine version.

To change the engine version of a project (on Windows), right click on the .uproject file > "Show more options" > "Switch Unreal Engine version..." > select the version you want to upgrade to > press OK > launch the project once and close it again.

Now, in your explorer, go to "PerspLinesandGrids" > "Content", copy the entire PerspectiveLinesAndGrids folder from there, and paste it directly into the Content folder of your existing project.
