An accurate rule of thirds overlay?
So I saw the recent rule of thirds tutorial and I'm wondering if anyone could make a simple and exact rule of thirds overlay? It'd be very much appreciated.

Easy: http://voxman.net/images/overlaygrid.zip - Get that file, extract the contents to your usermod\materials folder and add the grid as an overlay to your clip.

In order to make sure it works, set the alpha to 254 after adding it as an overlay material. Otherwise, you'll get nothing but a black screen with lines on it.

See here for the settings:

Here it is in action:

Thanks! I did what you said, but all I get is the purple/black missing texture error over the entire screen. Any idea? Pic: http://puu.sh/11KAP

Edit: Nevermind, I got it. Didn't restart SFM... stupid me lol.

Weird- I didn't have to restart SFM, but I'm glad it works!
