Question

[edit]

Isn't cavalier oblique and NOT perspective? I thought perspective needed to have vanishing points, and there is none for cavalier. --aciel 17:59, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm confused as well. From the description and images in the article, it seems to be just another form of axonometric projection. SharkD 02:44, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, it was mistakenly categorized as perspective I'd say - google nearly always has it as an oblique projection (I added a reference saying so and moved it in the template tree accordingly). --Allefant 14:03, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
One might perhaps see the cavalier projection as an perspective view, but the distans of the vanishing points is infinity. –Xauxa (talk) 11:09, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
