Term 1 - Perspective

Hey Mauriccio! Nice to see someone post from the perspective assignment and damn, you definitely didnt pick easy photos! Good luck with the follow ups!

Great work , keep it up! Hint: The last picture has 2 vanishing points can you find the other one?

your last photo is just super complicated because it has a very large number of points, since the roads curve you will find that every building has a slightly different individual point for both sides.

Try extending your canvas out to the sides far enough to see the convergence points.

And then use a line tool to draw a straight line along window sills of an individual building, I think I am counting 10 different convergence points if you count the one that is way up in the sky for a vertical component. The vertical point is pretty far up though, so I wouldn't bother with it too much. Might be 11 because I just noticed one in the background too.... yeah looks like 11.

Is this image from the class assignment folder? I haven't gotten through that class yet, but if it is Marc is being tricky tricky.

Alright, the more I looked at it I had to do this, crazy complicated picture! Further complicated by a mild fish eye effect, several roofs that look flat but are actually single slant style, curved front steps, offset and broken shingles, and poor resolution.

Each color is another building, and I put random notes on it too.

Also the front center building is a trapezoid! Also not helpful for finding these convergence points!

I left out the buildings in the background, but they all seem to have their own too, well maybe not the grouping of chimneys on the right, looks like those could be treated as one.

But you can tell that even finding the horizon is very difficult with this picture. You really set a hell of a challenge for yourself with it.

This was a tricky one since the street is not straight and the buildings don't all respect the same focal point - when the convergence lines don't seem to all agree, try looking for horizontal lines within the image found on objects that are clearly in perspective. This should indicate the horizon line.

In the example below, you can find one by looking at the wall on the right. It's very possible the street is not quite flat either, contributing to the difficulty. That line I traced in orange also seems to agree with the wall on the left side, so I would consider it the horizon instead.

For the last one, again, try to look for horizontal lines on objects in perspective, you can see a lot of those windows seem to share the same horizontal line. This line also happens to be where one of the building's (the one in front) facade's convergent lines point towards.

Hope that makes sense
