3D projection

A 3D projection is a way of showing a three-dimensional environment on a two-dimensional flat surface or screen.

A projection is usually calculated using complex mathematical equations.

  Various projections and how they are produced

• 

  Parallel projection corresponds to a perspective projection with a hypothetical viewpoint; i.e. one where the camera lies an infinite distance away from the object and has an infinite focal length, or "zoom".

• 

  Symbols used to define whether a multiview projection is either First Angle (left) or Third Angle (right).

• 

  The three axonometric views, here of cabinetry.

• 

  Perspective of a geometric solid using two vanishing points. In this case, the map of the solid (orthogonal projection) is drawn below the perspective, as if bending the ground plane.
