To do that, let's use a grid node to help get things lined up. If we get the grid node lined up, then our animation effect will be lined up. So I'll select the reformat node, because I want grid to be the same size as these guys, and we'll do the tab, and I'll ask for a grid, shift, click on grid so it branches off. And now if I hook this up here, and re-hone the viewer, it's gonna be the same size as my glow. So if I get the grid perspective to look right, the glow perspective will look right. We wanna make some settings on the grid, so let's get the number of squares set to 20, and the thickness or size of the lines set to three…
