3D engine projection distortions

I'm trying to write my own 3D engine using Python and Pygame. I have successfully implemented rotation and projection matrices to display 3D models. However I am so far unable to implement translation ...

How to derive Field of View (FOV) angles from a 2D projection

I'm looking for some guidance. I'm not sure if this is possible, and I'm not sure where to start. I need to measure the FOV angles of a first-person, 3D game using only gameplay screenshots. I'm bound ...

Why we calculate z buffer value from plane equation $AX+BY+CZ+D=0$?

Suppose in perspective projection $(x, y, z)$ coordinate projects to point $(x_p, y_p, z_{vp})$ in projection plane $AX+BY+CZ+D=0$ where projection plane kept at $z_{vp}$ position. And the plane $AX+...

Existence of vanishing point

Consider the following example of perspective projection: I have one railway track with two parallel lines meeting at the point $X$ at infinity which is the theoretical approach. This X is called the ...

Difference between perspective and parallel projection [closed]

We know that in orthographic Projection Projectors (projection vectors) are perpendicular to the projection plane. And in Perspective Projection Object positions are transformed to the view plane ...

How does 3D graphic software adjust for distortion inherent in perspective projection?

As this question and its answers point out, projecting a sphere on a flat picture plane, with perspective projection, may result in a ellipse, not a circle, and my understanding is that the only way a ...

Keep constant number of visible circles in 3D animation

I have created a 3D animation with a perspective projection of white circles moving randomly in a fake 3D space projected on a 2D computer screen (GIF 1). Since I need to keep the same number of ...

What's the difference between orthographic and perspective projection?

I have been studying computer graphics, from the book Fundamentals of Computer Graphic (but the third edition), and I lastly read about projections. Though, I didn't exactly understand what's the ...
