perspectives

Jan 10, 2004 4 Replies

We are just getting into manual perpectives and I just wanted to share how much I really enjoyed learning how to Draw them. Maybe someone might be able to tell me a better way to pick your "Sight Point" I believe it's called along with the placement of your Horizon line as to arrive at a pleasant view. I know that it would depend on what view you or the client want to see. but I seem to be having difficulty with say, an L shaped structure with perpendicular ridges at different hieghts. trying to see both Gable ends in the perspective is difficult.

In the old days I had perspective pads already set up so that I could follow the lines etc. I did create these as drawings with nodes so that I could draw/sketch in cad in perspective.

I can email these to you if you want them

I would like a copy please (just remove the 'nospam') I said I'd post something similar here, but never got around to it. Generally I re-use an earlier drawing to construct pseudo-perspective for quick illustrations; much quicker for me than using 3D :-(

I too would appreciate a copy of it (maybe posting it to your website would be easiest for you?). I do use 3D (for final renderings) but would be willing to try out "faking" a perspective drawing during the Schematic Design phase to save time.

Thnx,

Just looked on my home pc, the files are not there I will bring home from work and post to my web site with an example of what I've produced with them in the past.....

I will let you guys know when I've done it.
