Flattice: Stylized Flattener

A stylized 3D Perspective tool for Blender, made by DillonGoo Studios

What is Flattice? Flattice is an automatic perspective-based lattice generator designed for NPR character rigs. With one button, generate a lattice that flattens out a specific part of the character’s mesh (such as face, chest, or whole body), and targets the camera to fake an orthographic view and make the character appear more 2D. It’s a Flattening Lattice!

Flattice automatically makes a vertex group that weight paints the entire selected mesh based on the 3D cursor’s position. Place the 3D cursor where you want it, click “Add Flattice”, and Flattice will instantly generate the flattice, create drivers that target the camera, and parents everything to the rig, all automatically!

Parameters can be adjusted after generation so you can achieve the perfect perspective for your shots.

Why We Made Flattice:

We made Flattice as a one-click solution for our specialized perspective needs that are otherwise hard to navigate with a 3D camera. The Flattice disconnects the focal length of the face from the focal length of the camera, which allows us to keep a more simplified representation of the face, rather than a geometrically accurate version. That simplified version is much more appealing and useful in 2D drawings - and now we can replicate that in 3D with this tool!

Flattice requires just 3 inputs!

• A Parent Bone
• Any number of Meshes
• A 3D Cursor

Once you have all these inputs set up or selected, just press the “Add Flattice” button, and the Flattice will be automagically generated!

Using the Flattice:

The Flattice property will be found on the Properties bone you have selected, inside the N-panel.

Dragging it to 1 will enable the flattice.

This property is animatable, library overrideable, and can be called into any UI script you happen to code.
