This optical illusion gif involved a bit of masking wizardry, but the result was worth it.

Everyone says it hurts their brain. I don't get that.

Now,...create this in 3D since you understand its Paradox. Have it twirl around. Or Collaborate with:

... Should I be worried that the motions of the ballΒ actually makes sense or seem naturalΒ for me?

Demonstrating that the object is not really impossible, it just doesn't have the shape one tends to assume when one sees it from a particular viewpoint. But I suspect that the ball would appear to grow and shrink, like people in a certain distorted room...

Nice! Kind of how a mobius strip with 4 sides might behave.

OdraWing In reply to WoodMath [2012-08-25 11:26:57 +0000 UTC]

But it only has three sides!

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

WoodMath In reply to OdraWing [2012-08-26 22:21:34 +0000 UTC]

I stand corrected. But much as the mΓΆbius strip is only one side (with the illusion of two) this has 3 sides (with the illusion off four) which is what I was trying to get at.

Anyway... Still nice work. Mind if I ask what program(s) you used to create it?

He says in the description he used Blender. Which is free by the way.

Apologies. Did not see that part.

ritabuuk [2012-08-25 02:20:45 +0000 UTC]

I stared at this for so long, I am totally obligated to fave it.

This is a really neat twist on the original illusion, and you executed it excellently. I like how this ties the idea of a one-sided Mobius Strip to the Penrose Triangle.

BatmanWithBunnyEars [2012-08-25 00:38:41 +0000 UTC]

That's a really awesome idea, and great execution. It might be a bit better if the color values were more different between the two surfaces on the far right, though.
