what's a good guide for formally measuring in 3-point perspective?
i want to know if there's any video lecture-type material where someone's going through the steps of setting up 3-point grids and using that compositionally.
something similar to erik olson's material on 1 and 2-point. it seems like he'll be putting out 3-point lectures eventually, but not for a while.
i read through most of handprint's guides, and while they were informative, the measurements of distance using trigonometry and all the other dense information give me a headache.

THIS WHOLE THING WAS A SHILL SET-UP

just a reminder kjg doesn't draw using perspective point

Fucking lmao dude.
Ignoring the shill set-up for anyone that actually wants to know:
Basically learn how to make a perfect cube in 3 point perspective. (My favorite method is finding the diagonal vanishing points, it says how in handprint somewhere)
Then know how to find x distance on the ground plane (it says how to in handprint.... once again I don't remember where)
After you do that just divide, multiply and rotate the perfect cube to measure shit.
Of course that's time consuming as fuck but it works.
If you've really went through handprint you should be able to do that. Even just knowing the theory makes eye-balling shit way more accurate.

You can find the diagonal vanishing point by finding the 45° angle between the two vanishing points (with the pivot at your station point) and marking it on the horizon line

I know how to do it I just couldn't be fucked explaining it.
The problem with doing what you said for diagonal vanishing points other than the ones on the true horizon line is you need to find the station point for the other vanishing lines.
I did all this autistic shit studying architecture including "worm's eye view" and the like, it completely left me as soon as we moved onto computer aided drawing

My Dad's an architect so I'm used to using his terms, if you'd prefer I could say Revit but I didn't think it'd hold much meaning to anons here
>>2851750
So you learned by hand construction and everything and then completely forgot it?
>>2851762
Yeah, I despised working in perspective and saw doing hundreds of sections and perspectives as pointless busywork when I could do it all with software and get any view I liked from anywhere in the building
>>2851750
That's why you're supposed to take notes
it's almost like nobody reads loomis here

fair enough
