Is this feature that is available in ibisPaint also available in krita? (Ruler: array ruler)

In ibisPaint there’s a tool called ruler: array ruler, that let’s you draw in real time inside several boxes at once. And you can change the boxes to be at a certain perspective.

The ibisPaint tutorial can explain it better than I can:

Is there a way I can do this in Krita?

Edit: here is a video showing what I mean

They lost me in the first line:

Array Ruler is a function that the illustration you drew in one frame will be copied to every frame which maximum is 10 x 10.

I think what you’re looking for is a tool to help you draw in perspective. Do I have that right?

If yes, this video may be helpful. It describes Krita’s perspective tools, called assistants. (This is just one of several videos on perspectives on Krita’s YouTube channel.)

Also, this page from the Krita manual:

From what I read there, it’s about painting out similar fields with one field as source. These are created by the assistant tools and can also be perspective representations, but what this is about is that you then define one of these fields created with the assistants as the origin field or source field, and everything painted in it is also copied/painted into the other fields.

So I haven’t seen this in Krita yet, but maybe it exists, and I just haven’t discovered it yet.

I have figured out how to draw in perspective, but what I am looking for is different.

This tool let’s you create a certain number of boxes, and you can draw in one of the boxes and it will duplicate to all the other boxes.
This tool also lets you manipulate the boxes so your drawing will follow whatever perspective you make it.

Sorry, it’s difficult for me to explain it clearly, but thank you for your time anyway

Welcome to the forum @Wintermints :slight_smile:

You can use the View → Wrap Around Mode to get a visualisation of what an array would look like while constructing an image using Vanishing Points and Ruler assistants:

For making the array of images, I’d suggest importing the image as a .png pattern then flood filling a larger canvas with it in ‘fill with pattern’ mode.

If you want to manipulate the perspective of an image there’s the Rotate Transform that can do rotation about the X and Y axes as well as the usual Z axis:

Hi there, thank you. This is actually not what I am looking for. Here I have uploaded a short video showing exactly what I mean. Thank you very much for your time!

You can set the multibrush to translate and draw multiple lines at once. Unfortunately the spacing us a bit hard to control. That’s all Krita has.

Ok, thank you!

You can also put a transform mask on the layer to give a perspective tilt effect but it may be better to turn that off while drawing the multi-image.
