Visualizing Projections
- prezjordan 12y agoFantastic visualizations! What tools did you use?
- kordless 12y agoSource code is using Raphael.js. I know this because I look at code.
- undershirt 12y agoThanks! it was years ago I made these. The interactive ones are made in just straight Raphael.js (in js/1dscreen.coffee). The cube animations are just plain canvas (in js/iso3d.js)
- AceJohnny2 12y agoI was going to point out that the article misspells the "Pannini" projection, named after the italian painter and perspective professor after whom it is named, not to be confused with the grilled sandwich, but apparently both spellings are valid: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Paolo_Panini http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Paolo_Panini
- undershirt 12y agoYeah, I'm just happy people are learning about this awesome thing named after him, however spelled.
- ghostbrainalpha 12y agoYes a Pannini sandwhich is delicious.
- JohnLen 12y agoFeel the same too!
- AceJohnny2 12y agoThe article finishes with the Pan(n)ini projection, which was discussed yesterday: http://tksharpless.net/vedutismo/Pannini/ http://tksharpless.net/vedutismo/Pannini/ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9182418 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9182418

- alixander 12y agoThese are some amazing visualizations.
- hawski 12y agoI hope that there will be games using pannini projection. Such game does not need too fancy graphics. I really would like to play a game with overwhelming sense of scale. If nobody will do it, I will. It just will have to wait in my todo list...
