Hi folks,
recently got the Michael E. Helms book "Perspective Drawing - A step by step guide". Nearly through. Well, but I still don't know how to find that third vanishing point (for the parallel height lines). The usual perspective has two (width an depth) or one vp(s), both can be located by construction in the plan view of a perspective and are located on the horizon line, no problem.
But the third vp (height) would have to be constructed someway else. To make it easier on you I know the height vp would coincide with the station point in the plan/top view, but I still would'nt be able to tell its vertical distance from the observer. If anybody had an explanation or a pointer, I would be very grateful.
