Can you see it?

TIG

I'm sorry, I thought "Can you see it?" was a remark by Sarah Palin (Would be presidential candidate and former Alaska governor) commenting on being able to see Russia from her backyard in Alaska.

Tangent coming up...

Of course, in 1867 [after negotiations and escrow were delayed by the Civil War] the then cash-strapped Russian-Empire deftly off-loaded their massive [and then seemingly useless chunk] of 'Russian-American', by 'conning' the USA into buying it for just $7.2 million dollars [a bargain!] [after the UK/Canada didn't want it as they already had the Yukon and British Columbia to worry about!]... If they hadn't then Sarah Palin's back-yard would have actually been inside Russia !

Luckily the USA's 'punt' paid off - although no one suspected that Russian-America and/or the Department/District/Territory and finally State of Alaska [1959] had so many untapped resources...

And of course we ignore the fact that like the rest of the land appropriated by various 'Empires' etc it already had indigenous peoples who had 'owned' the land for generations, so Russia's selling it to the USA is in someways an academic long-con. The word 'aborigine' is now normally applied to the inhabitants of Australia [the Southern-Land] before 'we' arrived - but in fact 'ab-origine' is simply Latin for 'those who were there from the beginning' [origin] and applies to all people that had their birthright sold from under them by parties who didn't even own it to sell it in the first place...

You could still leave it up so others could see its awesomeness.

I don't really understand what you are saying about positive or negative. If they appear to pop out or indent? They are very cool nontheless. Keep them coming please.

koipetta

yes,exactly.For instance, if you are myopic you will see it caving in ...

Or as in the case of Jim Smith who respond to the post the first,the effect was coming out of his screen.By the way,i appreciated very much your feed back.

One word of caution, don t expect your brain to work in reconstructing the 3d if you are ebriated.The brain part structure responsible for this reconstruction is sleeping.Try again the evening after.

Oh. Well, I see some of it caving in and some of it popping out. In the last picture, the brown spots appear to pop outward for me. Love 'em.

This is a bit harder for me to see but when you see it, it's one of the nicest. I think the black and white are harder because this one and the other B&W are the hardest for me to see. I can see the other ones almost instantly. Perhaps as a test, you could post the same design both in color and in B&W so we can compare them. Keep up the awesome work.

P.S. I'm still waiting for a tutorial.

koipetta

Yes,good idea,Sketchupnoobie, i will put it righ away!

I got it. It is definitely harder though and it took me a while. I think colors really make it easier. I'm not sure why. Maybe because the shades and shadows are easier to recognize in color. It's a shame though, because the white and black ones are really nice.
