Objects fading toward a vanishing point

[Eli]

Could an effect be made that would repeat an object something like pyrochild's Trail... effect (one behind another one and so on...) but considering a one point perspective.

 

for example if I have an image in the clipboard and I would like to repeat it several times at a certain distance between them.

I'm sure you can do this with Rotate/Zoom.

 

1. Start with the rocket (which is very nice BTW) on it's own layer.

 

2. Duplicate layer.

 

3. Apply Rotate/Zoom + Pan to offset it from the last position and make it slightly smaller with Zoom <1.

 

4. Repeat from 2 as many times as you need. Rotate/Zoom will hold the settings.

Automating it with a plugin shouldn't be too difficult; it would only require basic trigonometry.

Thanks for the tip EER. I followed your instructions and this is what I got. I noticed that the further the objects, the more they deviate form the perspective lines.

Toe_head2001, I will be glad to test it.

I'll concede it's going to be trial and error to get them to match exactly using this technique. Nice job you made of it

Aardvark has a higher (super) sampling rate. Used repeatedly as per E.E.R.'s suggested method.

I've had thoughts about a plugin like this for a very long time but have not done anything. The more I think about it the more complex it seems as the sampling should increase towards the vanishing point, options for 2 or ideally 3 point perspective?, trailing outwards option? etc...

If no-one has written it in a few months, I'll take a shot at it.

Great tip Red. 2 point perspective reminds me of a checkers board I drew with my art teacher (well over 50 years ago  ).

I have some ideas on how to do this. I'll try to put something together soon.

I've used this technique Eli and found that some layers needed to be adjusted manually as the increments are smaller than the Rotate Zoom allows.
