Isometric Projection
In Isometric Projection, all three dimensions of an object is shown in one view. All sizes of an object can be measured directly. The issue is that an isometric projection enables the measurement of two of the three altered principal axes using the same scale factor. Measurements along the third transformed primary axis need the use of a different scale factor.
If exact scaling of the projected object’s dimensions is required, it leads to a mistake. The aforementioned problem is handled in isometric projection by keeping the three reducing components equally.
Advantages
- An isometric projection does not need multiple views.
- The measurements can be made to scale along principal axes.
Disadvantages
- This projection is only useful for rectangular shapes.
- This projection distorts shape and depth.
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)}.
