Flat Pictures and Solid Models

In the picture

1. 1Card rim of the flat picture: paper has almost no depth, so only one fixed view exists
2. 2Curved flank of the solid model: the same character now has real volume and a back
3. 3Lens of the side camera: a camera can travel around the model and see a fresh angle

Examples

• A sticker on a bottle always shows the same face

   With a solid model, how can a camera show a new angle without the artwork being drawn again?

   • By drawing the whole character again from the new angle.
   • By folding the flat picture so it gains a back.
   • By moving the camera around the model.
