Example of Artist Composition Scott More, illustrator, Coee Stop. Painting Step-by-step. http://www.scottmooreart.com/ Traditional Composition Traditional artists prefer imaging over modelling software.
Composition is hard and indirect in modelling software.
Artists are working in image plane & depth simultaneously.
But, depth tools are absent in imaging software.
Importance of construction lines.

Composition Framework Method to combine composition and perspective.
Set a basic geometric pattern on the image plane.
Build a tiled oor within the image plane pattern,
which xes depth & view parameters.
Fill in with volumes and panels.

Demo Results Results Results Masaccio, The Holy Trinity, c. 1428. Results Based on Jan van Eyck, Madonna and child, c. 1437. Results Contribution: Framework
Framework inspired by artistic practice of Renaissance.
Composition in an image presenting depth is possible.
Depth is not strictly dened,
an image corresponds to multiple projections.
Depth eect is produced by key relations.
Floor works as an artistic composition device.
3D-like manipulation within compositional framework,
by changing distance point and oor divisions. Paintings of Sandro Botticelli c.1480. Future Work
Increase exibility: changing VP, horizon line position...
Additional 3D-like manipulation and content:
Rotation of blocks & of panels into depth.
Tools for relative scale.
