Cavalier projection

Cavalier projection is a method used in technical drawing and computer graphics to represent three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface. In this projection, the object's front view is shown in true scale, while the depth is rendered at an angle, usually 45 degrees, and often at half scale. This creates a visual effect that maintains the proportions of the front while giving a sense of depth. Cavalier projection is useful for engineering and architectural drawings, as it allows for easy visualization without complex perspective adjustments.
