Results when objects are placed at an angle other than the right angle to the Pictureplane, which causes a vanishing point to be on either side of the object

Vanishing point(s) located here, creates viewers eye level
Orthogonal
Any straight line represented as receding into space at an angle to the Pictureplane
Vanishing point
Where the orthogonals meet on the horizon line
