Totally not reading the main thread, but I almost can't believe those shadows are generated by inanimate objects like trash and metal circles or whatever.

Cool stuff. But continue on with whatever the mud slinging was here.

Almost- the diagram created the concept in my head. That's what diagrams are for.

And if you follow blueprints incorrectly, you end up with weird, quarter-cylinder-shaped "doors" you can't walk through.

Agreed. I did find it off-putting that this discussion with Bruce almost made it seem as if I were putting the original artist down in some way.

Quick and dirty demo of the first diagram.

Very nice, except it's not what's shown in the first diagram. Profiles A and B don't intersect.

Whatever that means. It's exactly what was portrayed by the diagram. If it is not what you thought the diagram meant, you were mistaken. The profiles "intersect" insomuch as any two different 2D projections of a 3D object "intersect".

I'm not sure what it is you think the word "profile" on the diagram means, but that word seems to be what is preventing you from understanding the diagrams, which is why I tried a few other words.

What I understand it to mean is "the 2D pattern that the object appears as when viewed from the designated angle". As such, any two of them, as long as they aren't colinear, will "intersect", though I'm not sure the word is completely relevant.

Yours do, his don't. Yours are impossible, his are possible.

You've demonstrated your interpretation of what he diagrammed. It would be an interesting World if every craftsman was allowed to interpret the plans.

My interpretation works, yours apparently doesn't.

If you look at blueprints, you don't interpret the



as a quarter-cylinder.

Ah, well. We seem to be repeating ourselves.

So, I sketched up some diagrams...
..the first two involving casting shadows on 2-D and then 3-D surfaces, while the 3-D surfaces retain their information...
..the third involving projected, visible light images, reproduced on 3-D surfaces, so that different images become visible depending on the angle:

*thinks to self*

oh..my...f'king gawd,,,give me a break


way to dissect childs play

....it's shadow play Flint!




ok don't get mad. I am not attacking you...just saying.

Maybe this will help? From dictionary.com:

Quote:
pro•file
4. an outline of an object, as a molding,
formed on a vertical plane passed through the object at right angles to one of its principal horizontal dimensions.
5. a drawing or the like representing this.
10. The look, configuration, or lines of something: cars with a modern profile.
13.Theater. a flat stage property or scenic piece cut from a firm, thin material, as of beaverboard or plywood, and having an irregular edge resembling the silhouette of a natural object.
16. to draw a profile of.

pro•file
1. a. A side view of an object or structure, especially of the human head.
b. A representation of an object or structure seen from the side.
2. An outline of an object.

profile
1656, "a drawing of the outline of anything," from It. profilo "a drawing in outline," from profilare "to draw in outline," from pro- "forth" + filare "draw out, spin," from L.L. filare "to spin, draw out a line," from filum "thread."

profile
2. an outline of something (especially a human face as seen from one side)

profile
the view of a face, head etc from the side; a side view

pro•file
1. A side view of an object or a structure, especially of the human head.
In other words, exactly what my diagram illustrated.

The "vertical plane" that a profile is formed on can intersect with a "vertical plane" upon which a different profile is formed. If these profiles are made to represent two different objects, then, from the viewer's persepctive, the first object casts the shadow of the second, different, object.

Your doorway is a standard symbol and universally understood. Obviously we'll never agree on this. I believe the divergent point was, "insert sculpture here".
