In the context of 3D Computer graphics, which of the following statements is/are correct?

(A) Under perspective projection, each set of parallel lines in the object do not stay parallel in the image (except those that are parallel to the viewplane to start with).

(B) Applying a perspective transformation in the graphics pipeline to a vertex involves dividing by its ' (z) ' coordinate.

(C) Perspective transformation is a linear transformation.

Pick an option to check yourself, or open the answer below.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A. (A) and (B) only

Explanation

Under perspective, parallel lines converge unless parallel to the view plane, and the transformation divides by z. Because of that division it is not linear.
