How Vanishing Points Work As Objects Rotate (Multiple Points Perspective) 

That was one of the most useful explanations I've ever watched. Using the perpendiculars lines make it so clear! Thank you a lot!!

I've seen other youtube videos that overcomplicate things, but you did a crystal clear explanation, this video is priceless, thank you so much!

This video cleared up the issues i was having with drawing rotating boxes..they slide in and out of one and two point perspective! Great video!

It finally makes sense to me, thank you! I'll just think of it as the axis of a 3D program or game or whatever. Really, thank you very much.

Love how clear & concise this video was. I never had the sides of a head explained as the sides of a cube before. That makes so much since & I'll look at creating them in that way from now on. Your graphics & color palette choice was also pleasing to look at. Thank You👏🏽

I'll add my voice to the chorus here and share how this video helped me. I've had enough training to understand the theory behind 3-point perspective, and block out a satisfying general layout. But my finished compositions ended up with wonky fun-house angles requiring tiresome fiddling to correct. And I now realize why; I'd been visualizing it wrong all this time. I had been treating each shift in vanishing point as a separate self-contained unit, rather than flowing along a continuum. So the receding lines on every individual object were inconsistent, especially on the z-axis, either pinched too close or flaring too far apart, leading to bell-shaped parallelograms and leaning or curved verticals. I have good volume and texture control so things look grounded and solid, but with inadvertantly cartoon-like proportions. My style has thus developed a bouncy, whimsical quality that people find pleasing, but being incapable of more realistic renderings has always frustrated me. It's a subtle distinction, but after watching the video a few times I sketched out a couple quick streetscapes and saw instant improvement. So thank you for solving a decades-long problem, in about the time it takes to watch a sitcom! (edited for grammatical clarity)

Probably the best video explaining perspective, VPs, and how objects rotate in relation to those. Thank you!

I'd like to thank you for this most enlightening video. This is the first video on rotation that makes sense to me. Now I feel that I completely understand rotation in a perspective drawing. Your video is quite excellent.

This is so helpful! I actually did not understand this aspect of perspectives for a very long time and FINALLY someone explained it

This was incredbly helpfull, i have watched a lot of youtube content and your explanation is probably one that i have never saw anything similar, the 3d model makes it really easy to grasp, thanks a lot.

This class was just so clarifying, yet I had already all those things in my mind, it was awesome to see it with real time examples.

understanding how to rotate a cube vertically (a bit rotated horizontally first and then vertically, to be precise) is exactly what i was missing and only you explained this! the channel is living up to it's name

Right! So don't worry about measurement and precise answers too much, but track the behaviors of the vanishing points as they move about. Thanks for the lesson!

The best explanation on RU-vid

I've always visualized something like this in my head (at least I have since I actually understood it) but I've never actually seen someone animate it so clearly. This is a really valuable way of demonstrating how rotating vps work!

Definitely the best visualization I've seen on this subject!

Thank you with ALL MY HEART for this video

This is exactly what I was looking for. Excellent video. Thank you.

Thank you for the clarity.

Thanks for the best lesson on rotating objects!

Extremely helpful animation. Thanks so much.

this is briliant, im gonna make sure to practice this

You make the best explanation videos. Thank u there are a lot of ppl who make videos but only to confuse. U make sense. Can u make a video on how to draw something using perspective that is not a building or a block. For example a koi fish, how would u make everything in/follow perspective. Would love to see ur explanation on this!

Godsent!!! thank you brother. you explained far better than anyone else here on youtube. thank you for taking the time to really elaborate how this perspective rotating mechanic work. thank you so much niw i can solve a rotating cube correctly in perspective thank god and thank you, god bless you brother.

I've been dreading over rotating an object in one of my drawings for the past few days, improvising the technique and failing again. Then did another few days of research and was still struggling a lot. 4:55, my savior. Thank you so much for this.

Visiting skillshare soon.. looking forward to seeing you soon

Thank you! It clarifies so much things! 😀

amazing video, thank you for your hard work! please keep making more

ohhh my God thank you so much i cannot believe i didnt get it well till now... everything else just kinda skims over stuff that i NEEDED to understand like that y/z VP moving and taking the place of e/o in rotating the cube eventually was so useful. thank you.

Thank you so much for the video. I had trouble with vertical rotating and it really helped.

Interactive vanishing point moving in real time is all I ever needed❤❤❤

Awesome work! This answers a lot of questions!

many many thanks to you ! this video was my eureka moment !

Thank you. That was really clear.

Great rendering and explanation, thanks!

honestly. I was so lost with how rotation would work in perspective. That is so stupidily simple, yet not obivous haha. Thank you for the great animation and explaination!!!

An elegant presentation and a very effective one. Thanks.

Great solution.

You earned my subscription for this clear explanation

Thanks so much, my brain was hurting trying to understand how 2 point perspective becomes 3 point, now i get it thanks to your golden vid!

This is so helpful! So simple yet crystal clear explanation. You just saved another frustrated artist today

This literally the only explanation I've found online that makes any sense.

Thank you so much for this video, it's extremely helpful!!!

your explanation and the animation is very clear! it made me easy to get what you trying to explain! this is so helpful,, thank you!

This has been the most useful info, I've ever seen. How to rotate boxes!Thank you!!!!

this was a good breakdown, it help me not overthink drawing in perspective with appropriate vanishing points

thank you for sharing such a refined information. greatly helpful

Amazing. This video was beautiful and very useful, thanks very much. Now I’ll go and butcher your knowledge that was passed onto me.

Excellent! Thank you so much!

Great!!! Thank you very much!!! It is really helpful for me!!!

awesome!!! checking your skillshare tut now

My Goodness! You're great help ❣️

Thank you for your useful explanation thank you, please do not stop.

Hello! Thank you for this video, it really helps me to understand vanishing points.

you are such an incredible teacher

Awesome tutorial ❤

Very important lesson 😊😊❤❤

Thank you so much for this sir🙏🏿

Awesome explanation...thks

this video rewired my brain

Thank you really great video and explained very well.

Thank you sir. Really appreciate

AMAZING VIEDO!!! Great Job!

I love the little lego biplane in the side.

Thank you so much

This is really enjoying and teaching video.. nice illustration. Thanks

I wish u make a video on a form and constructions videos for humans and bikes and cars because you are a really good teacher

Thank you !

Thank you ❣️

This video is insanely useful!! Only thing that could make this video even better would be to show the horizontal rotation of a cube that's also been vertically rotated beforehand.

thank you so much

So helpful.

usefull, thanks

Excellent,God bless u,Your video world's best video.

I just realised, the vanishing points are sitting in a triangle wherein when I rotate the object in one axis (ie. X axis), the other two points would translate with the line they're both in the triangle. Holy shit, my former Calc teacher wasn't kidding when he said "triangles are everywhere".

I was having trouble understanding the relationship between two vanishing points. The book Perspective Made Easy has this information about sets of lines. But you've made it easier by categorizing it into axes of dimensions.

INCREDIBLE VIDEO MY NIGGAH! jUST BRILLIANT!

Very smart my friend

Excellente vidéo

A great video

That is a great way to explain it! Thanks for that! The only thing that I migh feel it is missing ( and I might be wrong ) is how to keep the distances between vanishing points consitent when you are rotating your object. Maybe some build up tools in Clip Studio or other drawing sorftware help with that?

Thanks.

I always thought i was unteachabe.thank you

thanks man

I'm not sure if this has already been said, but what you call "Planes" and "Lines" are called "Faces" and "Edges" in Maya. Also, "Lines" that goto a Vanishing Point are called "Orthogonal," "Converging" or "Receding Lines." Lines that do not Converge and always stay Parallel to eachother are called "Transversal Lines."

Hi, thanks for the great video! Could you tell us which software did you use to create the animations in the video?

bro stopped right at the good part -_-

I am understanding it little by little, why are there no programs like your animation for rotating and understanding how the vp's move, that will help alot of people I just want to how to angle cubes/boxes for heads (character design) loved the vid✌🏼

Thanks for the video. It explains the idea very well. How does the vanishing points behave when we rotate the cube along an axis which is not perpendicular to any of the planes of the cube?

Amazing explanation! :) question: did u use a specific software to generate the perspective?

more perspective tutorial pls🙈🙈

Hi, I would like to ask about the rotation example at 5:00. Z and Y vanishing points landed on the same line because it only rotates vertically, locking the X vanishing point. But what happens if Z and X rotates horizontally at 5:06 when they are not on the same horizon line, and locking Y? Would the cube's vanishing points land on 3 different lines where Z and Y will no longer stay on the same vertical line?

Do the X and Z vanishing points always have to maintain a 90 degree relationship with the Y vanishing point?

Great lesson! I have one question: How do you determine the X, Y & Z vp’s so that the cube always has its 90 degree angles? When I place 1 point on the horizon line, how do I know where the other will be in order to create a perfect square in perspective?

Do a 5 point perspective or fisheye view of this please

At 3:00 it appears the yz axis of the rotated cube is not vertically aligned like it is at the example of rotation at approximately 5:05. Is there a specific point at which the yz axis becomes aligned, but before that the convergence is too 'far away' for yz to be aligned vertically ? Thanks, great visuals!

This was really very good, thank you. Now, it occurs to me that 3 point perspective is possible because we have 3 dimensions. Then how do people draw 4 and 5 point perspectives? What’s that about??

My God.. what, and how were you able to create that animation. You have no idea what this means, and it's BIG.... REAL BIG.

Fantastic Bro , very well explained, but I still feel I am finding it hard to master the perspective drawing , how do I be very thorough with it, can you advice please?

Ty man. I very struggle to understand how z vanishing point rotate
