Rule of thirds

[Macker]

When using the VRayPhysicalCamera to make my shots, I always aim to be photographically correct and I just thought a nice feature would be have a "show 'rule of thirds' cone" within the camera view.

Just an idea.

well, what next? the golden ratio?
I think someone posted a script here that does it, but I can't remember where...

The rule of thirds isnt like a 'you've got to be less than 5 pixels away or it wont work' kind of rule, it's a bit more general.

viewport configure, safe frames. or a viewport background image.

I'm well aware of the fact that you needn't be that close, I thought it'd be a nice helper object rather than something worth mocking. Suit yourself.

[Neilg]

You can do it in the max viewports. Or with a background image. Both would be easier than using a helper object.

You might want to give this script a look:
