Axonometric Views (These illustration types are more appropriate for diagrams and manuals.) 3/4 Perspective View (This type of illustration looks more "natural" than an Axonometric View.) From 2D to 3D

In the 1822 paper "On Isometrical Perspective" Farish recognized the "need for accurate technical working drawings free of optical distortion. This would lead him to formulate isometry. Isometry means "equal measures" because the same scale is used for height, width, and depth".[4] Was the first to provide rules for isometric drawing. The concept had existed in a rough way for centuries.Where does the word isometric come from?Historical aspectOptical-grinding engine model (1822), drawn in 30 isometric.

Q*bert from 1982 was one of the first games to use isometric graphics. Knight Lore from 1984 is considered to first define the genre of isometric adventure games. Head over Heels.This game is parodied in the DVD release of The IT Crowd series one. In the DVD menu system, a game very similar to Head Over Heels, but with characters from the TV show, is played while you choose an episode.

Other disciplines that feature the use of plans.Realistic v information transferDifferent purposes, who they are intended for.Why draw this way? Where does it fit in the big picture?Industrial revolution born out of mechanisation led to a need for clear instructions.Optical-grinding engine model (1822), drawn in 30 isometric. 3D video games were first developed in the 1970s, and the first to use isometric projection were arcade games in the 1980s. Head over heels was very successful and used the advanced graphics to make the game more interesting with puzzles.http://www.teachervision.fen.com/geometry/printable/6186.html ( isometric dot paper)The isometric combines the plan with the front and side elevations set at 30 to the horizontal axis.The cavalier perspective, also called cavalier projection or high view point, is a way to represent a three-dimensional object on a flat drawing The axonometric is constructed by setting both the side views at 45 to horizontal axis.Examples of different drawing conventions.Designing buildings complex information systems and engineering.Isometric maintains accurate scaleIn this isometric drawing, the blue sphere is two levels higher than the red one. However, this difference in elevation is not apparent if one covers the right half of the picture, as the boxes (which serve as clues suggesting height) are then obscured .

Eschers early work inspired the mathematician Roger Penroseinvestigate Penrose triangleThe Arche is almost a perfect cube (width: 108m, height: 110m, depth: 112m); it has been suggested that the structure looks like a four-dimensional hypercube (a tesseract) projected onto the three-dimensional world. It has a prestressed concrete frame covered with glass and Carrara marble from Italy and was built by the French civil engineering company Bouygues.

Frank Gehry and deconstructivismGuggenheim Bilbao, Frank O. GehryThe basic elements of architecture are dismantled. Deconstructivist buildings may seem to have no visual logic. They may appear to be made up of unrelated, disharmonious abstract forms. Deconstructive ideas are borrowed from the French philosopher Jacques Derrida. Imagine the drawings needed to realise this design.Could you draw the front elevation of this ?3D Geographic Information SystemsFaade of a building in RussiaArtoonix - Isometric drawing for young people on youtubeUse drawing to design a new assault course, housing facility for your pet, model farm/garage/racecourse/trail bike, go cart or packaging for an unusual object.
