Step inside the tactical picture
Open Player’s Eye from the board or animator’s left rail, then select a player. Move from the overhead setup into a reconstructed view from their position and look around the scene.
Explain the options from their position
Use a scene with passing options, nearby opponents, and space to attack. Explore how the setup looks from ground level and discuss the choices available from that position.
Compare perspectives in the same moment
Switch between players in the same scene to compare how the team shape looks from different positions. Keep the overhead board close while you explain the relationships between players.
From match screenshot to reconstructed viewpoint
Map the visible players, review their positions, and explore the scene in 3D. The result is a reconstruction from the selected position, rather than a recording of what that player actually saw.

Player’s Eye questions
What does Player’s Eye show?
It reconstructs a tactical scene in 3D so you can explore it from a selected player’s position. Use it to discuss passing options, space, and positioning alongside the overhead board.
Does it show exactly what the player saw?
No. It is a reconstructed viewpoint based on the positions and scene you provide. It does not recover the player’s actual gaze, attention, or decision-making from match footage.
Can I open it from the tactics board or animator?
Yes. Open Player’s Eye from the left rail in the web tactics board or animator, then select a player. It is also integrated into desktop Animation Studio for Mac and Windows (Windows beta).
Can I start from a match screenshot?
Yes. The browser Player’s Eye tool includes screenshot detection and mapping, with a review stage before you open the 3D scene. You can also use Screenshot-to-Board to create a scene for the board or animator. In desktop Animation Studio, the screenshot mapper is available from the left rail.
Can I correct the reconstructed positions?
Yes. Review the board before exploring it. Correct team assignments and positions, remove mistaken detections, and add missing players when needed. Screenshot mapping can require manual adjustment.
Can I switch between different players?
Yes. Select another player in the same scene to compare perspectives without rebuilding the setup.
Can I export the viewpoint?
Yes. Export the reconstructed view as a PNG image. Player labels are included when enabled.
Is Player’s Eye included in my membership?
Yes. Both monthly and annual DrawTactics memberships include Player’s Eye and the other tools across web and desktop. Compare membership plans.
