Since I am a minimalist, I have a really hard time coming up with objects to study (a challenge I didn't anticipate lol). I have a lot of round objects, but not so many boxes or only very basic boring box objects (like books). In hindsight I should have started with something boxier. I'll probably use some 3D objects next. Blender to the rescue! :D
Definitely a lovely challenge with all the lines! However, I wasn't motivated to do multiple projections with this thin object, but I'll do that too in another try.
I find this very interesting. Being able to find out exactly how much something forshortens is very satisfying.
Makes me wonder if there is away to do planned projection from the sideview.
My best guess is doing the same thing sideways.
The hexagon shape we did for the xyz episode gave me so much trouble I figured I’d have another go with it and project a hexagonal ortho. This was a serious struggle but I think i got there! I’m so proud haha.
Hi @Marshall Vandruff, thanks for the cool lectures! Really test my brain. I think I followed along correctly however I got stuck at the following.
i followed your videos along in reverse, meaning I first did the red box (box at the back of the picture plane); it looked nice. However then I wanted to do the rest of the big box which had the slope (I just stole your orthos) and then it didn’t “fit” on my previous red box…but as I’m typing I found out my red line was not straight!!! in the rebound I corrected the height and then it fitted exactly with the blue height!
this experience will stick to me in the future! Keep up the great work
I tried the plane. And I just don't really know how to get the Y axis correct. I think I can use the front view ortho for defining heights only in places where the picture plane is being touched.
Well I simply don't understand so far how to locate the heights in complex forms. Here I just went with guessing and measuring and dividing it by eye balling…..
I’m uncertain about parts of this — my intuition told me to extend the line of the edge closest to the viewer straight up and use it to locate all the cap and dispenser parts which are within the square of the top-down view. Certain elements don’t look properly centered — I’m not sure whether my method is wrong or if my lines are just a bit inaccurate.
I think it looks really great! The bottle (mostly the base) does look a bit distorted though, is that due to the horizon line being v high up or the projection being close to the VP or something else? I don't know where we figure out that 60 degree angle from
