1pt Perspective Illustrator/photoshop Help!

[Guest ryan.manty]

Hey guys,

I'm having some trouble putting this grid(tile) pattern onto a driveway. I've used free-transform in both PS and IL, and Photoshop seems to work, but it won't go into one point perspective. I believe I'll have to make the pattern "in perspective" from top view (besides just tucking the back corners in). There has to be a good (better) way to do this? It's driving me crazy.

 

Thanks much

Look into photoshops perspective tool. I've seen it in there but haven't used it. I think it's supposed to do things like this. The transform tools will just make it squat but the perspective might not be correct, it'll just make it the shape of the driveway.

Yeah the perspective tool should do it. Or just ctrl-drag the corners when in free-transform (same as the distort tool).
