Funky 3D room painting

Dont think they're fakes;

Also awsome: http://users.skynet.be/J.Beever/pave.htm

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 !

I've seen world class photoshopping at Something Awful. This stuff is a grade below that. Plus, it's on a no-name website with no corroborative information. Smells too much like photoshoppery

I don't get it

[Izuno]

hmm....ok so looked furhter...and I am no photoshop expert...but something about the edges of the color sections looks funky to me....and in that image with the big yellow target symbol, doesn't the upper image contain a wall mounted tv monitor, but the lower image does not have it? Wonder what the deal is with that. I did notice in that shot there is writing on the whiteboard in the lower image but not in the upper one.

Hmm...dunno...but...

[Grinwhrl]

that stuff is amazing.

Especially the street art.

If you carefully inspect the placement of the lines and shapes you'll see that they're perfectly consistent between shots. You simply couldn't fake the distortion as convincingly as this without modeling the entire scene, projecting it virtually and doing an overlay, which is an inaccurate process anyway. It really would be easier to just do it than to try to fake it. The photo quality is ass but they are real.

The aliasing is an ugly artifact of the browser resizing the photos - right click -> View Image to see them larger and cleaner.

Izuno the monitor you mention is simply outside of the shot, you can see that it is mounted to a nearer wall than the one that the overhead pipe goes into in the second shot.
