What is a slanting tool?
Another example (from https://forums.ldraw.org/thread-12247.html):
- We need to project again the surface. We do that with a slant transformation. In the initial file, we see that for a 144 ldu height we need to tilt in y direction by 40 ldu. This gives the slant ratio: 40/144=0.2777778. The transformation matrix is thus:
Code:
Code:
1 0.2777778 0 0 1 0 0 0 1
