Step 54.2 Design Process 2
Here we put forward the idea of "Observation Point". While modeling in SketchUp, choose "Perspective" ,in "Camera" options. In perspective view,we simulate the effect of a camera shooting the buiding .All of the visual illusion is based on the settled position and angle of camera, which is the so calld "Observation Point" ,what to be discussed later is all about "how to cheat the spectator at observation point".
While observing on another angle, reality comes to light.
This 3D model neglects two main parts of final version, the button surface of water stream and the supporting columns which dimensional illusion stems from. I provide the SketchUp model file(without supporting columns) of waterfall perpetual motion for download(http://www.guokr.com/article/18649/#sketchup). The unit is meter since SketchUp is for architectural design. Too huge model is a trouble for transportation and reservation. On the other hand, too small a size contributes to the difficulty on processing, so it's crucial to choose a proper zooming ratio!
