Are there any Corel plugins or custom tools that have been created to make shaping and distorting layers/objects easier? The perspective and distort modes in Corel 12 thru X4 above are decent, similar to Adobe Photoshop, but not good enough for some cases. The best example I can give is a rock wall. Let's say I'm trying to morph a stone wall (from a square block) into a shape that follows the contour of the ground. You can only distort from the corners to reshape which means you are still left with a 4 sided flat box no matter what. I have gone to the extent of pasting multiple sections and changing the skew and perspective but as we all know, after several distorts the object turns fuzzy so that's no good.
Here's my example:
The original is at the top. #1 was just taking two of the original and distorting the perspective on the opposite sides so they match. But this leaves a finite center point where they meet. #2 just showed that you could erase to match a contour, not the best option or reallistic. #3 shows how I created 4 pieces from the original, then distorted each piece individually so it had a perspective and rounded lower edge. I have seen other programs that can pull of what #3 does just by clicking on an area on that layer and dragging and it and it would smooth the contour for you automatically. That's what I am looking for. I am using PhotoPaint12 and that's the best I can come up with. X4 didn't seem to offer anything for this either. Are there any custom tools or plugins out there that someone has created to help with this? Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks if you read this far.
