When working with 3D models or viewing scenes in virtual spaces, two common methods for visualisation are perspective and orthographic views. Each offers unique advantages and can be chosen based on your specific needs. Skand Explore 3D viewer provides both perspective and orthographic views, allowing you to easily switch between them.

Imagine looking at the real world – that's a perspective view! Objects appear smaller as they recede, mimicking natural depth perception. Closer objects look larger, and distant ones shrink, converging towards a vanishing point. This view is ideal for creating realistic scenes and replicating how we see things in everyday life.

An orthographic view offers a different perspective – like looking from infinitely far away. All objects appear in their true proportions, regardless of distance. Unlike perspective views, objects don't shrink with depth. This view is perfect for technical tasks where accurate size and proportion are paramount.

When working in 3D, perspective and orthographic views offer distinct advantages. Perspective view mimics real-world depth perception, ideal for realistic scenes. Orthographic view shows objects in true proportion, perfect for technical tasks. Simply switch between them using the buttons on the top right corner of Skand Explore to tailor your visualisation to your needs.
