Perspective Grids

[thrall]

Hi all,
Question, in photoshop, is there a tool that lets you make perspective grids, or lines, without having to hand draw each one? I know theres the vanishing point tool, but I just want a grid or lines, so I can sketch on them, rather then do the editing that the vp tool offers. Ive seen clips of some of the mattepainting videos out there, and the people have all these lines all over there work, did they draw each one in? or....

Thanks for the help all

Here you go, its the line tool. Use it to make the horizon and then on a seperate layer make like ten to twenty lines across your work. Then using transform -> skew you can edit the straight lines into more perspective like things.
