I'm trying to align a pattern floor texture with a perspective grid (my Aries image). I've never managed to use perspective in my images and get it to look right, so there seems to be something I've misunderstood completely but I've no idea what (obviously).
In my Aries image I have made perspective guidelines earlier but since I couldn't get anything to properly match up anyway I decided to do it more carefully. So I made a smaller version of my image (to be able to work faster in ArtRage which didn't speed up in the slightest after the latest upgrade but did start to act odd when using the transfgorm tool - yay
) and added a lot of extra background so that I could place the vanishing points outside the image. First I made a grid based on the current layout to see what was the most off as well as where approximately the vanishing points were. Then with the horizon line and vanishing points decided, I made a new grid...
Then I took my previously made floor texture, which is a rectangle (images usually are...) and figured that if all edges follow the grid lines than the pattern inside should also follow the perspective. But they don't. And that's what I don't get. If my horisontal edges follow one set of lines and the vertical edges follows the other set, and the corners are placed where lines cross, shouldn't any lines inside the texture also line up with the grid? I've tried like a million times (and ArtRage is laggy as usual, plus now it adds some sort of wierd rectangles all over the surface when you mouseover the image, kind of like you've erased stuff but it hasn't actually changed anything it just displays like that so you can't bloody see what you're doing...) but I can't get it to look right.
Sorry I can't include an image. I got fed up and closed the program. I'm hoping ArtRage will behave better once the machine is restarted (upgraded today) and if not I really hope I can go back to the previous version somehow...
