Perspective for 3D model - How to create this exact exploded view style?


Hi!
I’m trying to set the perspective in Rhino 7 exactly this way for this 4-piece-product to show it in a kinda exploded view.
Could you help me with this? Thanks

Hi Sophia - there is no specific tool for this - you just need to move the objects as you see fit - Gumball can help keep things aligned. Use NamedPosition to save the starting state before you start moving objects, and to save intermediate states as needed.

@pascal created a very useful script that makes the Perspective view parallel to the screen, so I think it may help you align the objects in the desired camera angle. In 95% of the cases it works properly, though sometimes it may flip the camera at 180 degrees. I really recommend trying it. Personally I used it nearly every and for this reason I set it as a right-mouse click of the Pan view icon.

Place this into the Command field (replacing “your folders” with the exact directory on your hard drive):
_-RunPythonScript “D:\your folders\ViewSetter.py”

As for the exploded view, there was a script for that but I forgot its name. I will reply again if I figure it оut.

You can achieve this with a two point perspective projection in a viewport and experimenting with the camera/target coordinates and the lens length - the most important being that the camera to target “line” is perpendicular to the desired view direction (i.e. the vertical plane). Which essentially makes it into a one point perspective.

You will of course need to move the objects themselves into the ‘exploded’ positions, there is no automatic way to do this currently in Rhino.
