Perspective Lab

Explore how vanishing points control the apparent edges of a box in space.

Lesson focus 2D & 3D Object Views

Understand how plan, front and side drawings describe one object in space.

Current view 2 Point Perspective
World Direction Sphere
Linked Views
Observer view
Drag to orbit. Scroll to zoom. Rotate the object and compare its local vanishing points with the fixed scene horizon.
Lab Instructions
  1. Select a Perspective Type: one-point, two-point or three-point perspective.
  2. Orbit around the scene to inspect the box from different viewing angles.
  3. Move, rotate or resize the box. Follow its receding edges to see how parallel lines appear to converge towards their corresponding vanishing points.
  4. Adjust the Camera Height to change your eye level. The horizon remains fixed relative to your view, while raising or lowering the camera allows you to see more of the top or underside of the box.
  5. Adjust the Field of View to move between a wider or narrower view of the scene. Observe how the box’s appearance changes while its vanishing points remain consistent with the horizon and selected perspective type.
