Got inspired by the Frieren meme challenge and made a tutorial for rotating objects in 3D! This looks at turning a common rotation "mistake" into an intentional choice.

This is something that those of y'all with 3D experience probably understand pretty well!

📚 (1/2)

Common rotation "misake"

mis-alignment of the axis being rotated (without reason)

a graphic of a box and a head at a straight 3/4 position, being rotated "up" but tilted off to the side with red lines notating the perspective axis that's unnecessarily being changed

From heads-on, it looks like this
[graphic of a head being tilted up and to one side]
and not this
[graphic of a head looking up]

When we rotate an object, its points of perspective will move too.

A graphic of a box in a perspective grid matching its perspective, with the visible green point of perspective having attention drawn to it with "pay attention to this guy!"

In the second graphic, the box is rotated and all the perspective points rotated with it. This box is still fully feasible within hte original perspective grid, HOWEVER the rotation has forced all the original perspective points to shift. The formerly visible green perspective point has completely shifted off the map.

See how the points changed?

However!
If we rotate an object along one singular axis, that perspective point WILL NOT MOVE

a graphic of a box being rotated vertically, with one single axis (the one in red that's perpendicular to the rotation) remaining static and allowing us to place lines along the rotation accurately

To put it plainly, if we rotate UP and ONLY UP, one of your 2-3 vanishing points will STAY IN THE SAME PLACE

this makes tracking the change in perspective easier.

It's easier and clearer if we keep an axis STATIC

a graphic of a box with its 3 axises denoted in red, green, and blue.

Below it, three boxes rotated simply, each one overlaid upon a light grey version of the original box, and each one showing the individual effect if we were to rotate the box while keeping one axis static and moving the rest.

Below it, a head rotating up in perspective and showing the different made when the axis perpendicular to the action remains static.
