Notes on perspectives

Single point perspective

Perspective drawing is a good style to use when drawing in 3D. There are different styles including single point and two point perspective. The basic example below shows how to construct a simple single point perspective drawing of a cube. Using the same skills more complex drawings/designs can be drawn, after a little practice. Two point perspective Perspective is a realistic way of drawing objects in 3D. We have already looked at single point perspective, two point perspective using two vanishing points and when an object is drawn in this way it is even more realistic than if it were to be drawn with a single vanishing point.

Day 1 - I began catching up on the group project that i am behind on

Day 2 - Today we did a tutorial for Rhino to make basic shapes

Final Week of School

Day 1-5 - We spent the entire week on Rhino finishing our 3D models. I have created a Dragunov (NO SCOPE) within that time using many commands and help from the other grade 12's. After completing the model i angled the light source so that i could render the image and post a well taken picture showing every side and detail of the gun.
