Am I wrong in expecting that the shadows in this scene, created by a sun lamp, should all be parallel? I have the size set to zero, so I’m confused why the shadows coming from the lounge chair and the glass wall panel support are falling at different angles. I drew in some grease pencil lines in red, to accent the shadows I’m referring to. Confused here - anyone know what’s going on?
The lighting is basically from a single sun lamp, with size=0. I can load the .blend if someone thinks it would be helpful to take a look at it. Thanks in advance.
Ah-ha! I was thinking sun dials, when I should have been thinking about camera lenses. Very much appreciated the brief, but perfect explanation. Cheers.
Most arch shots are shot with orthographic perspective to prevent converging-lines … the “old-timey” bellows cameras, still used today. Also, with “long lenses (zoom) set way back,” instead of wide-lenses set close (fisheye effect).
