Sharing a drawing machine I designed and wrote about a few years ago but never published: an analog mechanism for producing digital conic projection perspective

Sharing a drawing machine I designed and wrote about a few years ago but never published: an analog mechanism for producing digital conic projection perspectives inspired by Piero Della Francesca’s “Other Method,” which is essentially a 15th century drawing algorithm for sampling a point cloud and representing it in 2D perspective. I can convert this into a blog post if people are interested. Unfortunately my professor kept the actual machine for their “collection”… Write up/reflections: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/wz86p0z0exxlaj5omhtfa/the-other-method.pdf?rlkey=oju4cdd5jbcpjrw07j3pbrvye&dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/wz86p0z0exxlaj5omhtfa/the-oth...
