but, ..you're going to get _This_ . .

mhm? and?
huh?
after that far 'point' of converge, ..the so-called "object" will (seemingly) go "behind" the false "horizon line" -- created by the human eye, or other visual apparatus etc
.
No?
I simulated it
the camera is 0.1 units above the ground
the hallway is 500 units long
sorry for terrible quality, increasing the resolution means increasing the render times
Its not an accurate representation of how the eye or camera works
what's wrong with it?
Model how light works then get back
that's what it does...
I'm not making this program myself
Ffs
I'm just modeling the hallway myself
the program simulates light itself
Well, maybe one of you can just edit the zoomed in image to show what should be seen, according to you?
you can only see roughly 3 miles thru the atmosphere before the ship will disappear, unless its under the right conditions to let you see wht the naked eye further like rarely you can see the chicago skyline
humans don't have the ability to see far distances normally
we do
can only see a few miles over water
we can see something infinitely far away (theoretically) if it is bright enough
I was on a boat and looking at stuff thru my cellphone
I have done the test where ships go over the horizon and then I zoom them in
nope
stars aren't that far away either
It's biological fact
nope
that we can see anything if it's bright enough
oh?
its a scientific fact that light difuses thru atmosphere
every mile you lose twice as much light
oh, diffusion
okay
@Citizen Z I'm a bit confused as to how you think light works, so as you've just requested I've just written a quick simulation to model how light works, of two gaussian beams showing what I think you're saying.
Is this how you think two beams of light passing over each other would look, so that when they're ontop of each other you cannot resolve anything about them? i.e. 2 points of light ontop of each other look exactly the same as a single bright point of light?
you go far enough away you won't even see car headlights because of diffusion
on a clear night you could
stars are closer than what they say
