Perspective Projections
Used for:
- advertising
- presentation drawings for architecture, industrial design, engineering
- fine art
Pros:
- gives a realistic view and feeling for three dimensional form of object
Cons:
- does not preserve shape of object or scale (except where object intersects projection plane)
Different from a parallel projection because
- parallel lines not parallel to the projection plane converge
- size of the object is diminished with distance
- foreshortening is not uniform.
