A question about perspective
Hi folks!
Chapter 6, page 130 of How to cheat in Photoshop CS5:

How can I determine the angle that's needed at the bottom of this van (and at the top, if the left house wasn't there?)
And how about the width of the van? How can I make the right choice of the width?

Re: A question about perspective
You make the choices about the angle of the top and bottom by following vanishing lines created from the house. If the house weren't there, you wouldn't need to do any of this in the first place!

As fror the width - well, that's a harder question. There's probably some mathematical solution, but I just do it so it looks right. I'd say your van is just a little too wide.
