Is it simply an alternative to casting the shadow on the top plane of box, then going down the side of the box (straight line) and then moving on to where the Light Direction signaled as the end of the cast shadow?

... I'm having a hard time understanding why the LD angles are being drawn in parallel to each other when the light is coming from ONE light-source. Since it is a single-source light, shouldn't the light direction angles all be emanating from the single point at which the light is located... tapering out and NOT in parallel. Logically, if the LD's are drawn parallel (like how you are doing in your video), wouldn't that only make sense if EACH vertices had a corresponding light source?
@robertlkiss2 жыл бұрын
You are correct. However the light source is usually the s un. On the paper I drew it that close as a representation of the direction. But if the light comes from such a far distance it can be drawn as parallel since the angle is undetectable.

Hey I have a question. When to draw shadow direction lines parallel to each other and when to project the sun on the horizon and draw a converging shadow?
@robertlkiss2 жыл бұрын
Shadow lines never converge, they only diverge. Usually during day scenes you have parallel lines because the sun is so far away that the converging angle is negligible. Whenever you have direct light sources then the shadow lines are not parallel because of the converging nature of the light beams
@oldcowbb4 жыл бұрын
do you most often assume infinitely far away light source? because you use parallel light direction for all point on an object
@robertlkiss4 жыл бұрын
Good questions. Usually, I use the sun which is not infinitely far away but for our purpose, the sun rays might as well be parallel.

Why do you keep the ellipse the same when drawing the shadow? Would there be any instances possibly outside of industrial design where you don’t do this maybe a long shadow where you want to indicate perspective?
@robertlkiss5 ай бұрын
The ellipse is technically not the same. The correct ellipse size is always between the one that touches the ground and a flat line that is on the horizon depending on where the light source is coming from and how long it is. But it will be relatively too size of the bottom ellipse especially. What changes is the length of how far this ellipse gets projected from the object which it belongs to.

Hello Robert. Is it possible to make a video about constructing a tube in perspective, that is “swinging”? The problem with that is how to construct the ellipses. Thanks.
@robertlkiss3 жыл бұрын
Hey Robert, I think I already constructed a tube in perspective. It is a bit different when you talking about objects in motion. If we are talking about a swinging object the easiest way would be to construct it at the two extreme points of the swing and once in the middle, from there you would have to construct it 2 or 3 more time approximating the in-between states. Interesting suggestion though, let me think about how to incorporate movement constructions into a future video!

In nature, how do you determine light direction and shadow direction? How do you draw shadows of trees, for example if the sun is high in the sky?
@robertlkiss5 жыл бұрын
It would be easier to explain this via video so I might do one on this topic in the future. But for now: In general, if the sun is high in the sky u get the shadow below the object. So just as with a cube, the shadow would be exactly below it. If you want to construct a cast shadow simplify the tree. Think of it as a sphere on a cylinder (almost like a lollypop). And then you can use the same projection exercises I showed in the video. I hope this answer helps somewhat :)

copying ellipses ... pfff really nice i found this channel. Does this technique also work for more organic forms or with two light sources ? Like how you explain it by the way.
@anerky4 жыл бұрын
if you can draw a single stick in any given lighting situation, then you can draw any form in any given lighting situation, since you can create any organic shape through the close packing of infinitely many sticks of various lengths. If I was trying to do a shadow for a shape that was too complex to feel comfortable drawing outright, I would approximate it by sticks and get a feel for how its shadow will be... many sticks' shadows will be contained within the boundary of the shadow overall, so you can become more efficient once you develop an intuition.
