I might as well become an architect

 

Ah yes, more buildings. This time we are looking down into the earth with the camera titled to the left. As per usual, everything inside the cone of vision circle is not distorted and true to our natural vision, while everything outside is distorted space. There is no set measurements for the increments, so we can give the increments (which go up and down the center line of the cone) any measurement.

For example, if the measurement was set to 8 feet, everything would be relative to that increment measurement. So building #2, which is 4 increments tall, would be 32 feet tall. Building #1 is 3 increments tall, so with that measurement it would be 24 feet tall. We could be using inches (or even a whole new number) if we wanted to, but then these would be less like buildings and more like legos.

One last thing, the actual view distance to the ground, where the center of vision touches the actual ground plane, also follows this increment scaling. So if we use 8 feet like before, we can count the number of increments down from the center point of the circle all the way to the station point (the last dot at the bottom). We multiply that by 8 and that gives us 64, which means that the camera is 64 feet away from the ground it is above.
