Earns its place in the autodesk_apps library for bringing photographic composition grids and perspective guides into the 3ds Max viewport. Version 1.0.0 is its first store release.
Photographic Composition guides is a 3ds Max tool intended to help when composing shots. It draws common photographic grids, references, and perspective lines directly in the viewport, giving you something to frame against.
The tool covers quadrants (2x2), rule of thirds (3x3), custom grids (nxN), golden proportions, and golden ratio rectangles and spiral. You position a guide in the viewport with the mouse, choosing vertical, horizontal, cross, or from-a-point placement. It can also position multiple two-point aligned lines from a common base point, useful for drawing perspective lines from a vanishing point or following the same perspective line. The color of the guides is selectable.
Version 1.0.0 is the first release for the store, published on 31 May 2023, and it ranks 14 on autodesk_apps.
Photographic Composition guides is best for 3ds Max artists composing shots with photographic grids and perspective references.

Photographic Composition guides can draw quadrants (2x2), rule of thirds (3x3), and custom grids defined as nxN. It also includes golden proportions along with golden ratio rectangles and spiral. These are the common photographic grids and references the tool provides for composing a shot inside the 3ds Max viewport, and you can select the color used for the guides to suit your scene.
Photographic Composition guides lets you position a guide in the viewport with the mouse. Available placements are vertical, horizontal, cross, and from a point. Beyond single guides, it can position multiple two-point aligned lines that share a common base point. This makes it possible to draw perspective lines from a vanishing point or to follow the same perspective line while composing a shot.
Photographic Composition guides can draw perspective lines. It positions multiple two-point aligned lines from a common base point, which is useful for drawing perspective lines from a vanishing point or following the same perspective line. Alongside perspective lines, the tool also draws photographic grids and references such as quadrants, rule of thirds, and golden ratio guides, all placed within the 3ds Max viewport.
Photographic Composition guides is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing and availability can change over time, so it's worth checking Atelier Bump's page on the Autodesk app store for the current terms before downloading. The listed version is 1.0.0, the first release for the store, published on 31 May 2023. That release brings the grids, guide placements, and selectable guide colors described here.
