Explanation

• The explanation section starts from the common Blender camera object.

• The conventional axonometric and oblique projection systems differ and are defined according to architectural notations.

• The goal of this section is to expose the Pohlke add-on parameters as it implements a architectural notation system into the Blender environment. We explain the parameters at play between these two ways of handling projection.

What does Pohlke mean?

The add-on is named after Karl Wilhelm Pohlke (1810–1876), author of a generalizing parallel projection theorem in 1853.

The Pohlke add-on was part of the presentation The Missing Camera or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Oblique Projection at BCON24.
