“reaching the level of your own incompetence”<\/span><\/p>\n

or<\/span><\/p>\n

How the hell am I supposed to draw this?<\/span><\/p>\n

A friend of mine coined that phrase for a situation he ran into early in his career as a restaurant manager.\u00a0 He had risen quickly and managed to rise to a job he simply wasn’t able to handle.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Anyways…that phrase has been hovering over me as I continue to struggle with this sumbitch.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is where I am left scratching my head…a victim of my own success, I have reached a level of skill where the number of people walking the earth who know more than I about vanishing points is very very few.<\/span><\/p>\n

This link has a brief rundown on what the hell I’m talking about in case the term “vanishing point” ain’t something you use everyday…<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, because the box and suitcase are floating and sinking in slightly different directions and not actually perpendicular or parallel\u00a0 like say two walls on the same floor,\u00a0 they each need a different horizon line and vanishing point.\u00a0 The suitcase for example is sinking so it’s top is closer to you then it’s bottom.\u00a0 Easy enough, add an extra set of points for each item.\u00a0 ( I know that is tough to get your head around when I explain it with text, so just look at the pic below…if everything was on say, a floor instead of a plane that can be broken like water, everything could share the same horizon line.\u00a0 once something breaks a plane though it get it’s own plane that tilts and is separate from the rest……eh, just look at the pic)<\/span><\/p>\n

The question is the ripples in the water they create.\u00a0 Should those ripples have their own vanishing points?\u00a0 or because they are breaking the same plane ( water line) should their ripples share a vanishing point?!\u00a0 Seems to be that they should since they are twisted away from each other\u00a0\u00a0 On the other hand …the objects themselves have different horizon lines because they are sinking, but that has nothing to to with the horizon line of the plane (water surface) they are sinking into.<\/span><\/p>\n

….?<\/span><\/p>\n

Seems like I used to know this.\u00a0 My best guess is that they all share the same horizon line as the water but different vanishing points on it…maybe…
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

I suppose I could just BS it, but considering all the precision that went into the rest, it seems like a shame to do that.<\/span><\/p>\n

Someone bring Bill Everett<\/a> back from the dead, he’d probably know.<\/span><\/p>\n

oh…yeah, I was originally going to get\u00a0 on here and plug the online store…\u00a0 coupon code BLACKFRI gets you 20% off anything until Monday.\u00a0 It’s not monday already is it?\u00a0 You don’t even want to know how many man hours I have spent on this damn thing…neither do I.<\/span><\/p>\n
