Vanishing point

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

For other uses, see Vanishing point (disambiguation).

A vanishing point is a point in a perspective drawing to which parallel lines appear to converge. The number and placement of the vanishing points determines which perspective technique is being used.

linear perspective is drawing with 1-3 vanishing points.

curvilinear perspective is drawing with 5 vanishing points mapped into a circle with 4 VPs at the cardinal headings N,W,S,E and one at the circle origin.

reverse perspective is drawing with vanishing points that are placed outside the painting with the illusion that they are "in front of" the painting.

Vanishing points were first used by Renaissance artists such as Donatello and Masaccio.

Vanishing points can also refer to the point in the distance where the two verges of a road appear to converge. This is often used to help assess the upcoming curves in the road; to judge the radius and therefore the entry speed and optimum line. If the vanishing point moves towards you or to your sides, the curve is tightening. If the vanishing point moves away from you or comes to centre, the curve is straightening.

hi. This is my first post obviously, and first game like this I've played. Everyone on here is really good at this stuff, I can't believe how fast the puzzles were answered. Anyhow, I've been thinking about a couple things that probably don't mean anything.

1) The total score possible for the game (without referrals) is 1300. Thats a really clean number total and for some reason I have a feeling thats going to mean something.

2) The "other" bug for some of the puzzles (that more than a few people got) stands out to me. Its weird how it shows up behind the popup on the main page and then is gone if you log off / log on.

ok well I won't waste your time anymore. If these things are nothing please don't kill me, it is my first time with this stuff!!

At the end of the video, after the vanishingpointgame.com website address appears, there are some words that flash on the screen. Could this be a clue?

It's the start of the Meta Puzzle. Use that the same way we did the earlier ones.

As for Aaron's e-mail, it was a mistake. We weren't supposed to get that. Those are just his title, work, and fax numbers. Ignore that stuff.

Although, there's one thing I need to take back. Originally, I said to ignore the weird white boxes that were showing up in the game. Apparently, I'm not as smart as I think I am. http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=17829

i belive it says /on the run

The "/on the run" bit is where we are all at now.. this clue takes you to another webpage on the site where loki says to contact her hence everybody trying to think of an email address to contact her at, or some other clue based on the email she sends back when an email is sent to [email protected]

But it seems contacting isn't working very well..lol..I get bounce backs when I try to send to any of the addresses.

EDIT

I finally got something back from '[email protected]'

Hmmm. Not quite what I had in mind. Try harder - then listen closely.

...and now I've got the one from Aaron.

hmmm...wonder why I got failures the first time.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Jaybonaut · Posted

      Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
