Description
Here is something I've been interested in for a long time. I love optical illusions and I saw a number of "impossible objects" on this page here: [link] I studied one of them and I tried to make one based on my best guess how it might be made. (if there were instructions for these, I didn't look for them because it was fun trying to figure it out myself).Anyway, here is my first attempt to make one of these.
BTW, this is made from folded card stock.
Here is the solution to the "Impossible Object."

It was fun to make. I should do some more.

You should show me how it works

Well, if you check the links you'll see the object from different angles. That will show how the illusion is done.

Wow, great work! It's a perfect illusion!

Thank you, though as you might imagine, it's certainly not my design. I will take credit for figuring out how to do it without looking for the solution.

I couldn't even do something like that with a solution, I guess...

I don't know. It was fun trying. You probably could too if you found it to be fun as well.

Just by looking at it straight helped me out!
Thank you!

Don't look at it for too long. And remember to take slow deep breaths.

lol
i've seen alot of puzzling pictures before but this one takes the cake!
nice job!
~head throbs~

Did you see the object from other angles?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeaaano
no i didnt really explore too much on ur profile
but that is one hell of a puzzling picture i have to say
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, I mean the links in the description show the object from another angle. [link]

omg
i shoulda seen that coming
well thats pretty damn clever
how do u come up with this stuff?

There are many 2-D versions of this optical illusion. I saw the 3-D image and just figured out how one might do it. Remember, the trick with 3-D versions of things like this is that they only have to look convincing from _one_ angle for the photograph. [link]

pardon my french but
holy fucking shit! these people are fucking amazing! i've seen some of this stuff before, but most of it is totally new to me!
damnit my eyes just broke

Just check over the net and you'll probably find all kinds of examples of 3-D optical illusions like these.
(some of my favourites are the sculptures that look like old piles of junk but their shadows look like people or animals or other objects.)

nice
i love those ones where stuff either moves, or disappears

I always wonder how they figure out how to put the image onto paper. The planning must be difficult and the mindset must be a rare thing to have for that.

no kidding
i tried to copy a simple illusion onto a piece of paper and i screwed up like two or three times.
i'm so hopeless for this kinda thing

It takes a bit of practice to get the mind set to see the effect.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yea no kidding
I'm outta my league in that category
by like a billion fricken levels

I'm pretty sure you're exaggerating.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ok maybe just a tad
but i just cant get over how fricken awesome this stuff is.
honestly i didn't know that all of this stuff even exsisted
i knew what illusions were ever since i was born, but this, this is insane

Interesting stuff. Lots of examples you can find through Google.
I saw a guy who built one of M. Escher's designs out of Lego. [link]

i just saw the lego thing
now that is pretty cool
u can see of course how he did it but its still incredible
he also got the guy sitting with the puzzle in his hand lol
nice!

Photography makes the 3D illusion possible because your point of view is completely controlled.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah but with drawings its a 2D picture that can be manipulated into anything you can possibly imagine
and some1 like u could probably imagine quite alot........
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I can imagine a lot of ways that I can screw up.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes well with a two dimensional picture id say it would be easier than 3d

I like it

Well, I don't know about high-precision. There's a lot of fiddling around before it actually works.

It's great, the effect is very believable it reminds me
to the figures of Escher. Good work!

Hi there. Here is the same object viewed from a different angle. [link]
Here is another view [link]

By the way, I solved the green one at the bottom.

Ok.. After ten minutes, I figured out them all
Rest in peace, M.C.Escher.

This photo would have liked to Mariuts Cornelius Escher. I think it's real.

Thank you. If you check it out again, I've added links to the text where you can see the "impossible object" from different angles and see how it works.

Nooo!
_you have broken the territories between 2D & 3D-----

If you check it out again, I've added links to show the object from different angle which will help explain it.

Oh damn! now it's no longer impossible!!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I assumed you'd want to know how it was done.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, I've got a sketch of that design somewhere in an old "mysteries"-type book I first read back in the 80's...
-BUT, now to try & create it FOR REAL---(with no optical illusions, either!!!)
(may require an inter-dimensional destabilizer, though...)
