Difference Between Orthographic Projection And Isometric Projection
Orthographic Projection |
Isometric Projection |
---|---|
Provides a 2D view of the object. | Provides a 3D view of the object. |
Each view of orthographic projection shows only one side of the object. | Isometric projection displays at least three sides of the object. |
In orthographic projection, the projection plane is parallel to one of the principal planes. | In isometric projection, the projection plane is not parallel to any of the principal planes. |
It does not preserve depth. | It does include depth. |
The true shape and size of an object are preserved. | The projected object is foreshortened equally in all three directions. |
Difference Between Orthographic and Isometric Projection
Pre-requisites: Projections in Computer Graphics
Representing an n-dimensional object into an n-1 dimension is known as projection. It is the process of converting a 3D object into a 2D object, we represent a 3D object on a 2D plane {(x,y,z)->(x,y)}.
