Final #2: Monocular Depth Cues

Size Difference: This is my example for size difference.  As you can see, the horses that are closer to my are larger than the ones that are farther away.  This gives depth to the picture, because in reality, the horses are the same size if you were to line them up all next to each other.  It tricks the eye to think that one is bigger than the other, but in actuality, we know that it's depth perception.

Occlusion: This example shows how an object can position itself to occlude another larger object.  In this case, the person that I circled is occluding the wall, where the building ends.  This means that we know the person is not apart of the wall because he himself is a separate object apart from the building.

Lighting and Shading: When the light hits an object, a shadow appears. When you flash a light on a solid object, you can usually see the whole shape of that object, but instead it's distorted - depending on the angling.  Here the light is behind me and so I appear to be tall and lanky, but you can actually see what my body really looks like.

Texture Density: Texture density changes in these worlds depending on the distance of where you are in comparison.  So for instance, block "A" is more clear to the eye, and you can also see each brick that's there...as opposed to block "B" where the color of the brick pattern is more dense, so you can't see as much detail.

Linear Perspective: This was a more difficult one to find, as not many worlds have track tracks or such to screenshot.  But I found a ladder in this world...and as the ladder grows towards the ceiling, the closer the railings get together.  If the ladder continued to go upwards, than the top of the ladder would appear to be touching..which is the effect that the linear perspective gives.

Atmospheric Perspective: I again circled the difference of the textures in the photo.  In the circle labeled "A", the leaves are very clear and easy to make out leaf by leaf.  As distance grows, the harder it is to make out other objects.  You can still obviously see that there are trees and water, but the leaves are definitely not as clear in circle "B".  This is because of the distance and depth of the image, the closer you are to something, the more clear it will become as opposed to images that are father away.
