Points in perspective in the idea of 2 point, 3 point, etc aren't really rules of reality, rather they're just tool of making art that cover most subjects

All parallel lines converge at a point, that point being it's vanishing point

If all parallel lines in the image are the same parallel lines than it's one point perspective. There aren't really any good examples of 1 point

2 point perspective is where there are two lots of parallel lines in the image ie a box (technically this should be 3 point but so often the vertical parallel lines are too hard to notice so it's pointless taking note of them)

3 point is like a box looked at from above or below where it's vertical parallel lines are clearly visible

These are just tools to make life easier, not rules that govern the universe

In reality there are no parallel lines, in a cardboard box the box isn't cut as a 100% square it's probably like 0.000001% off and is actually more of a trapezium but it's so hard to tell with out eyes so we just assume they're perfect

Look at these boxes here, let us assume that all the boxes have been cut to mathematical precision and are perfect boxes. All the sets of parallel lines will converge and that point of convergence will be a vanishing point and thus adding a number to the number of points in perspective of this image (1 point, 2 point, etc)

Each box will have 3 points, the parallel lines that make up the vertical part, and the 2 sets of parallel lines that make up the horizontal parts. There are at least 6 boxes so that means that this image is atleast 16 point perspective.

I hope by now you're seeing how pointless this point system of perspective is when you try to plot everything like this.

The image can be simplified, the vertical lines parts of the boxes are all roughly going in the same direction (No boxes are being held really diagonally) So you can assume that they're all the same for the sake of making life easier that lowers the number to 12 point
