Escher

little optical trick - no post processing, just SU model + render engine

mmmmm... I love Escher, nice one! It deserves more care, I think. Not the model, of course, but materials and environment could improve a lot.
cheers

sweet!!

if you use emitters or hdri instead of sunlight you wont get that strong shadow which ruins the effect....(or did you do that on purpose?)

please post the sketchup model!!

MAKES MY HEAD HURT.

My brain thinks it has it figured & then...wait no thats not right...wait yes it is...wait...

[pilou]

I had made some funny one like this
The SKP is here

[Starling75]

It was fast sketchy work - 10min modelling / 5min rendering, no fiddling with lights and materials.

I wil not post the model. The solution is simple, try to figure it out

Pilou: Nice job

Btw here is my inspiration:

haha. I didn't actually try to build it. I just kept looking at your model and the photo of your inspiration photo. And I mentioned that I "think" I figured it out...not sure if I am any where close to be right or not.

thats better! the illusion is complete!

i only wanted the model to look at, i know how it works; the shadow gave it away!!

[olishea]

I made it but I still don't understand it haha

does this clear things up? haha

The model is quite elementary dear Watson. You can make your own within few minutes

[joppermann]

Yep...it was the shadow for me as well. If the shadow had not been in the first picture I think I might of been perplexed still.

Nice ... it's isometric view isn't it?

[olishea]

yes iso....

perspective is possible but harder. if you look at the model in xray its very easy deleting the bits you need....but it still hurts my brain!!
