Can you share the algorithm you are using? Also, is the -200 to 200 in degrees?

Does anyone have some source examples for Skew or Shear using code lab? Alternatively, is there a plugin which enables numeric Skew/Shear as a tool, layer effect or some other implementation? MS Paint has it, why can't we?

These other plugins are fine, but I really need a simple plugin for doing isometric transform, as I specified. Nothing more, nothing more...

Ash, Can you post your settings and source image? The box is fine, but can you translate a arbitrary rectangle into the top perspective easily? D

So, i looked at Shape3D - it's very nice BTW. However, isometric projection is not rendered in true 3d space with vanishing points, real-world geometry, etc. It is an approximation, an architectural geomoetry I suppose. Also, there is no requirement for lighting, etc. Also, I installed the plugin and looked at the tutorial - which works great for cubes, but what if my shape has arbitrary dimensions? It wasn't clear how I would tackle that with shape3d. Maybe I'm missing something. Let me know. Wikipedia on Isometric Projection: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isometric_projection This covers all the nitty-gritty, variants and differences between 3D, true isometric, etc.

I'd love to see a plugin for performing isometric transforms of surfaces. This can be used for creating 2.5D images, pixel art, box mockups and more. It's not that hard either, could be a great project for a first time plugin author. All that is required are 3 steps - scale, skew and rotate. Here are the requirements: Iteration 1 * Top, left, right * select which face from list * Use these transforms: http://www.layersmagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=779 Iteration 2: (Not required) If you are fired up: * GUI with isometric cube. Mouseover the desired face to choose which transform to apply * Allow for bottom back-left and back-right also If other people could benefit from such a feature, please reply so this post gets some attention. Thanks, D
