Yesterday I found italian video lessons about film making.
One of it explained haw to meake good shots of the scene.
He talked about "tecnica dei terzi" (Sorry, I don't know how to translate it, but I put here a pic!)


Her said the "target" will be near one of the line intersections, to make it better.

So I tought that it will be a good add-in for ASP...
I already tought to make a layer with those lines and make it immune to camera movents, but I find it so unconfortable...
Someone can create a script, like the grid, that make visible a camera-fixed grid like it?

*UPDATE*
I finally found this for better explanation!

No reply?

The "rule of thirds" is a fairly well-known aid to composition. There are other aids too, eg the "Golden Section" and "triangle mass". Quattrocento painters made extensive use of these.

This script works for what you want
viewtopic.php?t=2084
You can install it as a button or as a menu script. Once installed just click it and ask it a 3x3 grid.
(Check the entire thread, the links doesn't work, but I posted the script as plain text)

Uhm... It works, but I need something else.
This script creates a grid using vectors...

Based my very limited knowledge about scripting I think it is not possible to create a grid like that without using vectors.
I don't know if this helps, but you can make the grid with no edges and select "show paths" on layer pop up. This way AS will show you the grid as construction lines (and that stuff won't render).
On the grid layer proprieties select immune to camera movements and check (just to be sure) don't render this layer. That should be enough.

So it's impossible...
Thanks, Selgin, now I'll try your method.

what about importing a grid PNG into the tracing layer? it wouldn't export... *shrug*

The tracing is on the bottom, behind all the layers.
Anyway, I have to adapt and use the script Selgin sugested me.
