Vanishing Point

A vanishing point, or direction point, is a point on the image plane where parallel lines in 3D space appear to converge. If you have ever stood on train tracks and looked along them, you may have noticed that they seem to meet at the horizon.

In graphic editing and video games, the vanishing point perspective is used to render 3D shapes like buildings and objects, add depth to background scenes (such as roads or train tracks), and create realistic shadow effects.
