Is thesize of the mirror plane relative to the tilted plane completly arbitrary , also how do i make sure the mirror plane is alined correctly with the tilted plane ?
Can you point to the specific page on the book so it's easier to help you?
Page 36 :/
Ok so for the mirror plane it can be at any angle, but the tilted plane has to be at a different angle relative to the mirror plane. It doesn't matter what orientation the mirror plane is as long as it has no 3rd VP and it isn't rotated. The mirror plane does have to be next to the tilted plane so it can mirror properly. You have to able to do the red lines on page 36 in order for the mirror plane to work. This is my two cents on it, but I literally just did that page like a couple days ago. Sorry for the sucky grammar.
Thank you ! ^_^
np!
This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.
I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.
No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
