Camera Position and Orientation Need to decide the Camera orientation What happen when we Snap the shutter?
What Are Projections? Our 3-D scenes are all specified in 3-D world coordinates To display these we need to generate a 2-D image - project objects onto a picture plane Picture Plane Objects in World Space So how do we figure out these projections?
Converting From 3-D To 2-D Projection is just one part of the process of converting from 3-D world coordinates to a 2-D image 3-D world coordinate output primitives Project onto projection plane Transform to 2-D device coordinates 2-D device coordinates Clip against view volume
Projecting 3D onto 2D view plane Parallel Projection Preserves relative proportions of object Does not produce realistic views Perspective Projection Produces realistic views Does not preserves relative proportions Projection reference point /center of projection
Parallel Projection Z coordinate is discarded Parallel lines from each vertex on object are extended until they intersect view plane The point of intersection with view plane is the Projection of the vertex
Perspective Projection Lines of projection are not parallel Projection lines converge at a single point called center of projection or projection reference point Projected view of an object is determined by calculating the intersection of the converged projection lines with view plane
Types of Parallel Projection Categorization based on relation between Normal to view plane and direction of projection Orthographic Projection 1. Direction of projection is perpendicular to view plane Oblique Projection 2. Direction of projection is not perpendicular to view plane
Classification of Orthographic Projection Top view Projection (Plan) 1. 2. Front view Projection (elevation) 3. Side view Projection (side/lateral elevation) Display only single face of object View plane is perpendicular to principal axis Used in engineering drawing for machine parts or buildings 4. Axonometric Orthographic Projection Display more than one face of object
Axonometric Orthographic Projection Parallelism of lines is preserved but angles are not preserved Construction of projection for 3D object are done such that adjacent faces are shown Shows true shape only when face of object is parallel to plane op projection Further classified as- Isometric Diametric Trimetric
Foreshortening of axes The foreshortening factor is ratio of projected length of line to its true length Isometric All three principal axe are foreshortened equally Diametric Two principal axe are foreshortened equally Trimetric All three principal axe are foreshortened unequally
Oblique Projections View plane normal and direction of projection are not same Further classification Cavalier Direction of projection makes 45o angle with view plane (tan =1) The projection of line perpendicular to view plane has same length as on object i.e. no foreshortening on such lines Cabinet When projection angle chosen so that tan =2, resulting view is cabinet projection. ( 63.4o )with view plane The line perpendicular to view plane are projected at of actual length Appear more realistic
Oblique Projections View plane normal and direction of projection are not same Further classification Cavalier Direction of projection makes 45o angle with view plane (tan =1) The projection of line perpendicular to view plane has same length as on object i.e. no foreshortening on such lines Cabinet When projection angle chosen so that tan =2, resulting view is cabinet projection. ( 63.4o )with view plane The line perpendicular to view plane are projected at of actual length Appear more realistic
Perspective Projection Projection lines converge at a single point called center of projection or projection reference point Projection of any set of parallel lines that are not parallel to the projection plane converge at vanishing point Vanishing point for any set of lines that are parallel to one of principal axes is referred to as a principal vanishing point or axis vanishing point
One point Perspective Projection Based on single vanishing point Surface of object is parallel to the plane of projection Practical uses in Architecture and Engg. Drawing Tunnel projection of cube- vanishing point is placed centrally within figure.
View Volume and projection Transformation Viewing Three dimensional View window/projection window Specified in view plane as (Xwmin, Ywmin)and(Xwmax, Ywmax) View volume Volume within four view window boundaries(infinite view volume) Size of window decides size of volume Projection type decides shape of view volume 1. Parallelepiped view volume 2. Pyramid Volume
Clipping Window yw max World Coordinates yw min xw xw The clipping window is mapped into a viewport. min max Viewport yv Viewing world has its own coordinates, which may be a non- uniform scaling of world coordinates. max yv min xv xv Viewport Coordinates min max May 2010 28
1. Parallelepiped view volume: Orthographic projection
1. Parallelepiped view volume: Oblique projection
2. PyramidVolume: View volume for Perspective projection
Finite View Volume A finite view volume can be obtained by limiting extend of volume in the Zv direction. The Zv boundaries planes are referred as near plane and far plane of view volume Changing the shape of oblique projection view volume by moving the window position
Effect of view plane Position Projection direction is parallel to line from projection reference point to center of view window (oblique projection)
Effect of positioning PRP relative to view plane Close PRP then object appear larger
