A curvilinear perspective is a drawing with either 4 or 5 vanishing points. In 5-point perspective the vanishing points are mapped into a circle with 4 vanishing points at the cardinal headings N, W, S, E and one at the circle's origin.
Staircase in multi-points perspective as a linear or point-projection prospective example. Each point is a vanishing point from which straight lines come, and these lines are a guide to draw 3-dimensional object.
Curvilinear barrel distortion Curvilinear pincushion distortion. Curvilinear perspective, also five-point perspective, is a graphical projection used to draw 3D objects on 2D surfaces, for which (straight) lines on the 3D object are projected to curves on the 2D surface that are typically not straight (hence the qualifier "curvilinear" [citation needed]).
In the perspective of a geometric solid on the right, after choosing the principal vanishing point —which determines the horizon line— the 45° vanishing point on the left side of the drawing completes the characterization of the (equally distant) point of view.
The horizon frequently features vanishing points of lines appearing parallel in the foreground. The technique for creating a basic two-point perspective drawing, including the sight rays, the picture plane, the left and right vanishing point construction lines, the horizon line, and the ground line
Reverse perspective, also called inverse perspective, [1] inverted perspective, [2] divergent perspective, [3] [4] or Byzantine perspective, [5] is a form of perspective drawing where the objects depicted in a scene are placed between the projective point and the viewing plane.
The link to this ruler can also slide, allowing the angle of the ruler to shift so that it always intersects the vanishing point. To use Nicholson's centrolinead, two lines converging at the vanishing point must already be drawn. Farey's centrolinead uses two hinged support arms and a drawing arm.
The point at which the lines joining the corresponding vertices of the perspective figures intersect is called the center of perspectivity, perspective center, homology center, pole, or archaically perspector. The figures are said to be perspective from this center.
