Adding a horizon line to renders?

echristopherclark

Perhaps the dumbest of the dumb questions I've asked here, but here goes: Is there any way to add a horizon line to a render for help with adding/drawing additional things in perspective during post-work?

If you add Sun-Sky and set Draw Dome to On, you will get a horizon.

But beside that I don't know.

You could add a fake horizon with a background image with a horizon.

Create a primitive cube, resize it to a smallish size, then massively increase the y height. Color it black and then position the line in your scene as needed.

Maybe create a cylinder that's really long and small diameter but thick enough to be visible at distance. Place it at (0,0,2000) or wherever your horizon lies. Depth of Field will be an issue unless you also plan to render twice, once with and once without the horizon line.
