Funky 3D room painting

Possibly the most amazing thing ever.

Dyslectic people gives this a rating 9 out of 5.

Cool

Some stuff looks Photoshoped though, but then you see it aint.

Spellbinder.

whoa that's something that i've always imagined but never seen.

Wicked groovie stuff!

2D pictures is one thing though, wonder how it works in stereoscopic vision aka "being there".

Amazing stuff. I liked those pavement 3D paintings too, though I can't remember where they are.

That is insanely cool.

get a projector and you're in business

totally. I'm not convinced they're real, but I'd like to believe it. The pictures themselves look quite photoshopped but I think it'd be easier to just do it than try to fake it. Anyway, this might be pretty doable in a map.....

it's entirely possible, a projector would make it really easy, you can always just have a guy sit in a chair and direct you too.

That kind of art is called op art (optical art). It isn't anything new but those are really cool.

I still think the room paintings are fakes.

1) There are some bad aliasing problems in those shots, like somebody sloppily photoshopped it.

2) For that illusion to work, your eyes or camera lens would have to be at a very precise spot, looking at a certain angle. So it seems like a waste of energy if you are not an exact height.

3) The one shot has paint over the doors, requiring that they be open to that precise spot for the illusion to work.

Dont think they're fakes;

Those are cool for sure, but those look like they were all done on 2D surfaces which fundamentally is easer when compared to the 3D stuff earlier in this thread...right?

I agree it could be done with a projector...but I didn't examine the images the way Fletch did.

I doubt that they're fake, primarily because not only would faking something like that just be retarded, but also because those particular 3D paintings wouldn't be that difficult to produce if you do indeed have a projector giving you direct guidance as suggested. I am impressed a lot more by those street pavement images where the artist has obviously spent a lot of time working out the shading and angles needed to produce a 3D-looking image.

Sure, if they were extremely complex images with loads of detail I might suspect them of being fake, but the detail on these could be outputted by pretty much anybody if given a projector and some ladders. As for it only working from one angle... well that's the point. It couldn't be any other way.

those are neat

On close inspection I do believe they're real. It just wouldn't be worth it to try to fake them as accurately and consistently as they appear. The photo quality just sucks ass

haha i like the one with the windows, red yellow and blue !
