Parallel Projection
1. What are the main characteristics of parallel projection?
❖ The projection lines are parallel to each other.
❖ It preserves the relative proportions of the object.
❖ Depth information is lost since there is no perspective.
❖ Commonly used in engineering and architectural drawings.
2. Describe the difference between orthographic projection and oblique projection in parallel
projection.
- Orthographic Projection:
o The projection lines are perpendicular to the projection plane.
o It provides true dimensions and is used for precise technical drawings.
- Oblique Projection:
o The projection lines are not perpendicular to the projection plane.
o It gives a pseudo-3D effect and shows more sides of the object.
3. How is oblique projection classified? What are the distinguishing features of cavalier and cabinet
projections?
Classification of Oblique Projection: Based on the angle of the projection lines.
- Cavalier Projection:
▪ The scale of depth is the same as the height and width.
▪ Results in distorted images for objects with large depths.
- Cabinet Projection:
▪ The scale of depth is reduced to half of the height and width.
▪ Produces a more realistic view.
4. Why is parallel projection commonly used in engineering drawings and CAD systems?
➢ It ensures accurate measurements and true dimensions.
➢ There is no distortion, making it ideal for technical representations.
➢ Allows multiple views of the object (e.g., top, front, side).
Perspective Projection
5. Why is perspective projection preferred for visualizing 3D scenes in computer graphics and
animations?
✓ It mimics human vision, where objects appear smaller as they move farther away.
✓ It creates a realistic sense of depth and space.
✓ It is essential for creating immersive 3D environments in animations and games.
6. Explain the difference between perspective projection and parallel projection in terms of visual
realism.
❖ Perspective Projection:
o Provides a realistic view as it mimics human vision.
o Lines converge at vanishing points.
o Suitable for rendering 3D scenes.
❖ Parallel Projection:
o Does not provide a realistic sense of depth.
o Lines remain parallel and do not converge.
o Suitable for technical and architectural drawings.
Color Model
7. Describe RGB color model with a diagram.
o The RGB model is based on the additive color system, using Red, Green, and Blue
as primarycolors.
o By combining these colors at different intensities, a wide range of colors is produced.
o Example: Red (255, 0, 0), Green (0, 255, 0), Blue (0, 0, 255).

8. Why is the RGB model commonly used in digital displays like monitors, TVs, and projectors?
- Digital displays emit light, and the additive color system works well with light-based devices.
- It allows efficient color rendering using combinations of red, green, and blue light.
9. What happens when all three components (R, G, and B) have maximum intensity? What about
minimum intensity?
- Maximum Intensity (255, 255, 255): The result is white.
- Minimum Intensity (0, 0, 0): The result is black.
10. What is the importance of CMYK color model?
- The CMYK model (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black) is used for printing.
- It is based on the subtractive color system, where colors are formed by removing light.
- Essential for high-quality color printing in books, posters, and magazines.
