4 Point Perspective

[dicktermes]

It does seem logical to me that this is a good system to capture 360 degree pictures. It is fun to play with different systems....Give it a try.

[ChristopherHillman]

The Real INTERESTING thing I like to point out is you realize that is that at least 1000's of people out there have eyes..but stiLL NOBODY notices that when they look at a flat wall it actually appears curved to them..they're just looking at such a small section of the large curve at any one time that they never notice it!

Hopefully they'll catch on a teach a bit of this in schools because Even if you don't Use it it Definitely helps you understand when a 3 point drawing is going wacky

[ChristopherHillman]

DAMN! ..i thought i'd write a book someday showing the EXACT same thing..ugh ..it's either if you're not moving ahead you're standing still..ooor..you snooze you lose i guess : ) lol

yeah I noticed i had a TON of trouble getting the TEACHERS in school to get this!..but the students picked it up pretty quick.

[dicktermes]

If you count the points along the horizon you will find a north, east, south, west and back to north point.....That is four without the up and down lines which don't go to points.

[ishouldplayzelda]

this is really confusing T_T

[FesterBable]

It is still only 3 point perspective, because you don't have perspective on the vertical lines. They are just parallel.

[ArtLoversStudio18]

Wonderful. Great job, sir.

[psau2504]

this guy draws with chicken scratch lines.. lol..

[armag0n]

Thanks for lecture!

[MelmanOfDaSouthh]

i take it these are the pictures that loop in the background of a cartoon

[dicktermes]

Guess you would have to wrap the person all the way around you to have them in this four point perspective.....right?

[dicktermes]

One and Two point perspective is fine if you just want 90degrees of your world around you but if you want to capture 360 you have to go to at least continuous four point. It doesn't come off cartoon like unless that is how you draw. Curved lines are important and necessary when you are trying to get a larger view.

@dicktermes

Very nice type of perspective in drawing and I really think that it would be great in trying to draw

a person in 360 degree.......but I don't know you tell me :D thanks for listening!!

[Renegade2895]

@dicktermes I was learning about vanishing points and point perspective in this book by an Artist named Rudy De Reyna, and I got stuck on the part where he speaks of drawing 3D cubes using point perspective and vanishing points from above eye level to below eye level. I can't figure out how he makes the cubes appear to go from above eye level to below. Is there a certain way I need to draw them?? Please help

[streeterville773]

Not quite timecube, but way easier to look at.

[Havk995]

4 point perspective makes everything wavy, better making 1 or 2 point perspective if you don't want to make a cartoon, and it's easier, thumbs up

[Amarynthine]

can you make a tutorial on how to draw the 4 pt perspective grid?

[PinPonDanny]

Wow ( excuse me if I'm such a begginer guy ) but I didn't even know dour point perspective existed....!

[bornkool]

Great work, I like your digital calculator watch too ;)

[ColdComrade]

You sir, are amazing!

[ZephyrOfDarknessArt]

Thank you for this video. It's nice when you can see and hear the person, you sound like a wise and nice teacher. I've been trying to learn advanced perspective for years, but nobody I know can coherently explain anything. This helps a lot!

Note: 5 people sat here for the beginners' class XD

[America2470]

Does anyone else think he sounds like Microsoft Sam??

[7REDCROW]

Awesome man !!!!

[dicktermes]

To do a octagonal room probably you add a point in the middle of each of these points....give it a try.

[n33n055]

how wud u do an octagonal room??

[Tygenja]

im determined to listen to this guys boring voice to learn!!!!!!

[michaeljs1995]

@Tygenja lol yes boring but a very good teacher

[lapticul]

if you make a toutorial about 2 point perspective must you draw with your leg?

[thewalrus906]

@lapticul Hahaha this is not about beatiful lines and colours... it's about perspective just perspective.

[spikeman316]

Nice tip, sir.

I used to wrk as ilustrator just like that! pretty cool that 5 vanishing point 360º view!

[onceuponthecross]

this is super cool! i won' t be doing it in the near future but it's great to watch :D

[Jmpapi151]

2 people have no idea about what they just watched!!

Great video!

[dafullclip]

Now THATS pretty fly! New perspectives, eh? I'll get the book!

[iBurnedaHouse]

I had NO idea there was point perspective

[DeadlyDreamerX]

Those are electric.... no... magnetic fields!

[dicktermes]

The curved lines are important in order to do a 360 degree picture. The one side will fit with the other side.

[maxoid101]

ToT sooo coooooooool

[minamopen]

u are so good... i doubt i can ever draw like that!

[24samw]

pretty awsome!



[cooldudelolmam]

nise i love it

[Garfeh26]

Thanks for the video. Just awesome.

[ForcastKarl]

this reminds me of Neji of the anime show Naruto, who can see 360 degrees around himself with the help of his byakugan. he does have a blindspot, but thats another story

[AcademyArtVenture]

Very nice! - I'm learning 1 and 2 point perspective right now, never heard of using 4 point perspective until now - Nice video, and cool technique for drawing!

Thank you!

[balzo100]

prety cool. but looks very complex.

[Kittyjoy]

I think that I might try this. Probably to difficult for me, no matter, practice makes perfect. Thank you so much for this video! =D

[50gangster3]

wow ?

[gurl0108]

one thing i know for sure!! nd dat isssss DIS IS HARD TO DRAW i can only do 1,2 perspective

[JakerO4]

lol u could stick ur head up in there and it would look like a normal world, nice lol

[Roids1991]

It goes all the way up to 6 point perspective lol

[ddraven]

I just got finished learning 1 and 2 point perspective I had no idea they had 4 point perspective

[Pestilence86]

Actually it has 5 points, tho you could say that the points at the very left and right are each only half. However, the 3rd point of a 3point perspective drawing is not at present here. (the 3rd point would be the Z axis and either located over or under the horizont line.)

[devonbuckfast]

Excellent video, very instructive.

[EyMeng]

What book is that that has the grid?

[yerk3]

It would be cool to build a giant one of these, that people could actually walk around inside of. Sculpture could be placed in the middle, making it both a painting and a gallery.

[SmexMuffinMan]

LSD!!!

[magicbuskey]

Mathematician here... I tip my hat to you, sir. Brilliant!

[termes]

I now have a new DVD where I go through one through five point perspective like this. Go to the store on theTermesphere site

[millachipmunk]

really cool. nice

[termes]

Hi Liquidbear, I am not sure what you mean by force perspective. Can you explain that? I would be happy to comment.

[liquidbear]

You should do a video on how to force perspective i would love to see how you would go about with that

[15MaRyGaiL15]

you are really great. :)

thanks for uploading these videos.

they helped us. :)

[termes]

There are two types of four point perspective I deal with. The first has a point above your head and below your feet. All up and down line project to these and the other two points are just like two point perspective....or you could say a north and east vanishing point. The other 4pt. perspective is like what is going on the youtube. Four Points are like the N-E-S-W directions around you. The up and down directions have no points but run parallel. This creates a cylinder view.

[EyMeng]

The cyliner view is my favorite kind because flat paper only bends one way at a time!!

[l0ll1ge]

I do not fully understand it I think. I have the feel this is 3 point perspective, but not a regular form of it. The third point you use in third point perspective (far under or above the horizon) can not be found here. However, it is also (of course) unneeded. So than what are your 4 points?

Funny enough I am able to find 4 points on the example on your website (on the page of the 6 point book ;))

[Roids1991]

Wow. I totally understand 4 point perspective now. Its way different than 3pp like what im use to lol. Im going to try it out! 5 stars

[dicktermes]

@Roids1991 How did it turn out?

[skangky026]

thats really cool

[shikharngo]

good work

[CreativeSprouts]

great video!

[FlashX97]

hey I've seen your website! 1- point to 6- point perspective.

[dicktermes]

I just put together a 1-2-3-4 and five point perspective with this system. It should be out very soon on youtube.

Dick Termes

[AdamStolterman]

thanks for posting this. It was really cool.

Could you please do a tutorial or an explanation of 3 point perspective? That would really help =D

[asiostudio]

Any questions you have I would be happy to answer............D.Termes
