Hi,
i've got a question about finding VP of elevation planes using the Measuring Point Method.
I understand that the method for finding VP of inclines planes is to measure from the MP of the respective VP e.g. 35 degrees in this case. where the intersection of the vertical line @ vp Vs the measure angled will be the VP of inclined plane.
In the below example i found 2 VPs and their respective MPs. I also found their inclined VPs, but it seems that although both inclined VPs are at 35 degree elevation to viewer, they seem to be on a different height line, that contracts the theory of the Planes.
Shouldn't they the inclined VPS be on a common horizontal line which represents 35 degrees elevation from viewer? just like how HL represents all planes with 0 elevation
IVP = ascending vanishing point
Example usage: 2 ramps(not drawn) with one vanishing to Vp1 & the Other to Vp2, with each incline of 35 degrees
Please tell me where is the gap in my knowledge.
Thanks

I think he means you've already gotten further than we would have on this problem. 
These days if an artist has a tricky perspective problem they tend to throw it together in a 3D program, render out a template, and paint over.

"there is no spoon" is a quote from the very first matrix  you all probably already knew that... |
