Recently i have been doing a job where i have needed to line up all the objects in my comp using the vanishing points within the scene. Many years ago the talented and very sadly late Mark Doney made me a matchbox shader to do just this. It’s madness for me not to have shared this it as it belongs in the matchbox hall of fame. I’ve zipped it up and popped it in a file. Its super useful. Thanks all. M

thanks for sharing with the community @Marcus_M

there was a good discussion along these lines about all things vanishing points, horizon line and perspective here including a new matchbox the inimitable @john-geehreng cooked up:
