I was inspired by SteveMcCrea's AGSketch (view it
here (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=39939.msg526446#new)) and so I wrote a plugin for Paint .net (a free paint program which I love) which draws perspective lines on the selection you make...
It has the possibility of 1 or 2 vanishing points which you can then drag to your favorite location.
Download it from this paint .net forum thread (http://paintdotnet.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?f=16=33475).
Just put it in you paint .net effects folder (it's located in c:/Program Files/Paint .net/Effects on my computer) and then start the program. You will find the perspective lines under Render.
I was recently searching the web high and low for an easy way to do this. Thank you, thank you very much. :)
Exactly something I wanted to propose to SteveMcCrea to do, but forgot ;)
I'll test it very soon.
I've made a new version with some more options (controlling the "aspect ratio" & color of the lines), also opened a thread in the paint .net forum for it (link in the first post), so updates (if there will be any) will be from there...

You're welcome, I'm happy you've found a use for it :).
@CW: let me know if you have any problems with it (actually if you don't have any problems with it will be even better to know ;) )...
ouch nevermind, post deleted ;D will test it now.
EDIT: Huh, well, all it does is drawing lines? Fair enough :)
Actually I find it useful, because I am pretty lazy to draw these myself every time. So thank you very much.
