I've seen it, it's pretty cool.

Kinoko · Sat 04/03/2006 14:02:16

WOW!

this was a great idea, yeah. razghoul who organized and participated on this one (the first image is his) is an awesome artist whose work I really enjoy looking at

Watch the video, IMO that is the best illusion ever. You can actually build one of your own (a firend of mine has two). I'm working on it.

Just an osciloscope tube or whatever you call them

I didn't find it that amazing.

But the dragon one then... that's great.

I've seen the first one before...I think it's cool.

But I've never seen this dragon before. And it's driving my computer insane. I tried to open the PDF file in Firefox instead of downloading it like the page says to...and it froze up FF...so then I downloaded it, and now it won't open. Other than that I think it's amazing.

I had that as my screensaver at some point.

Here is the same illusion, but a different image. It's real old too. Sadly the original site didn't work for me and I only could find it at Stileproject that throws all kinds of other crap at you too.

The art in that zoom thing is inventive though.

that last one is neat, too, but I feel it should be mentioned that the ads around it are not work or child safe. (Doesn't bother me, just thought I'd warn people.)

HoN

I actually posted a link to that first "zoomquilt" almost a month ago--but it was buried in the second-to-last paragraph of a lengthy post in the Technical Forum, so I'm not surprised no one saw it.

It's definitely a nifty project, though I'm not sure I'd call it an "illusion"--there's nothing really illusionary about it.

That dragon one, though, I hadn't seen before, and yeah, that's an illusion!

Hang on, you people never played Not Pron? That's when I discovered the dragon (puzzle number 25 was it? Piece of confusing shit). Immediately made my own and some for friends. Really cool

Gilbert · Mon 06/03/2006 06:19:04

Just noticed this thread actually I'd see all these stuff minus the photo frame one.

And, we actually made one of that dragon, which is now resting on the monitor of one of my co-workers.

Kimbil · Wed 15/03/2006 16:11:08

cool

i downloaded and build the dragon 2

Mugs · Thu 16/03/2006 07:32:07

I built three of 'em.

Afflict · Thu 16/03/2006 08:51:25

I didnt build any

Those dragons are all over our school nowadays, someone got this brilliant idea... but still, except the video there, I have never seen the dradon do that, all I ever saw was a paper dragon with odd eyes and everyone told me it was looking at me... I guess it's about how you look at it. If you see the corners, it doesn't look at you. Actually if you concentrate, you can see that in the video it can look like a paper doll as well, you just have to know where to look.
