Display a Perspective View
You can define perspective views of a model to create realistic effects. The dif-
ference between defining perspective views and defining parallel projections
is that perspective views require a distance between a theoretical camera and
target point. Small distances produce severe perspective effects; large
distances produce mild effects.
The following illustration shows the same wireframe model in a parallel
projection and in a perspective view. Both are based on the same viewing
direction.
