  Cabinet or 1/2 Cabinet Camera (Message 1 to 10 of 10)

I would like to use pov to render a view like the
own drawn below for a box

  +--+
 /  /|
+--+ |
|  | +
|  |/
+--+

It's just the classical 3D technical drawing...
It looks like the orthographic camera, but 
increase of the z is transformed as p*(x+y),
with p either 1/2, 1 or 3/4 ...

Have anybody any suggestion on how to achieve that ?
 (with all pov-object, of course, not only the box).

This may be obvious to others as well, I can't make out your intention
exactly.  I'd suggest posting a drawing if you could.  I'd suggest
HTML formatted posting but that's NOT a good idea since people have a
difficult time with them.  Also I flunked out of being a
"advanced-user" so I probably shouldn't even be here.

Hmm. I can't think of a simple way but _a_ way is to apply a shear
operation to each object at the origin and then translate into position.

Cheers, PoD.

Come on Bob, why don't we propose a group for the "disadvantaged user" or
something like that?

Please see p.b.i for a post called "Is this cabinet view?"

That should work but I wouldn't know how to get it lined up right :(

Something like this:

// Use -uv on commandline
#version 3.1;
global_settings {assumed_gamma 1.0}
light_source {<500, 500,-500>,1}
#declare Shear= transform {
   matrix <  1,  0,  0,
             0,  1,  0,
            .5,  0,  1,
             0,  0,  0 >
}
camera {
  location  <0.0, 0.5,-2.5>
  look_at   <0.0, 0.5, 0.0>
  angle 65
  transform Shear
}
box {
  <-0.5,0,-0.5>,<0.5,1,0.5>
  pigment {rgb 1}
}
