Kemezryp Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 English isn't my native language, sorry for my grammar mistakes. Hey there! I'm using Paint.NET since very long time and honestly this is best free graphic-making software I ever used to work with. Mainly, I use it to make memes, photo edit, or simple pictures, just like my avatar (pretty neat, right?). I am also making games in RPG Maker, so this software helps me to make tilesets, sprites etc., so I need to separate every frame because I don't want to use messy animations in my game. Sadly, there is no option to make a grid that has defined size. For now, I use a half-transparent layer for making a grid but it's not very comfortable since I work on big zoom (400%-500%). tl;dr: I need grid, so I can make animations for my game in very big zoom. For now, I use a layer for that but it's not comfortable. This is how my grid looks like: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8gPdTUfr7wFdVlpdDNFeGU4Qk0 (sorry i didn't upload ss on forum or imgur, i have errors) My suggestion is to add possibility of changing thin grid size in "view" tab. Would that be possible? Thanks a milion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 If you're creating sprite sheets I recommend this plugin It has the ability to set the frame size. If you want a simple square grid, I usually use this plugin. It makes a checkerboard pattern in two contrasting colors.

BikeHelmet Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I wanted the exact same thing. A configurable grid size would be invaluable! -BikeHelmet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
