Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

In fact, I usually do that when I pass a homeless person, although I wouldn't if I notice them at the last minute and would have to stop to get the money out of my wallet.

By "this" are you referring to the picture, or the object in the picture? I can't figure out if this object is real or just a photoshop. Arrrrrr.

[–]nothas 1 point2 points ago

it's a 3d computer generated image. the program used to make it is similar to the ones used to make vfx for hollywood movies

[–]verstohlen 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Thank you. I know some real 3d sculptures can look like an illusion just as this object does, but only if photographed or viewed from a certain angle, like the MC Escher impossible waterfall models or sculptures.

[–]pred 53 points54 points ago

"Non Euclidean dimensions" doesn't really make an awful lot of sense. "Non Euclidean geometry" would have hit closer to home. Oh well.

And even then, I'm not sure there is a geometry where the picture could occur naturally. (Assuming light moves along geodesics).

But it's a pretty cool picture.

[–]kirakun 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well, technically there is nothing wrong saying that. The concept of dimension is still well defined in non-Euclidean geometry.

[–]pred 0 points1 point ago

"Non-Eucledian" as an adjective to "dimension" isn't though.

I've seen this a good handful of times.

The illusion is reasonable, if not great, the render is competently done, etc., etc., etc. I've heard it all.

I do realize that they're renders, however, I REALLY REALLY want a few handfuls of those little balls and a selection of different sizes of those beams.

Hell, make some varied color plastic sheets that snap into the squares you make, and my brain's already off on making a 3D two foot tall Mario.

I believe the originals are GeoMag - they're excellent, just don't get them if you have small children, those neodynium magnets wreak havoc on intestines apparently. Yuck.

[–]NoNeedForAName 16 points17 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

If I understand correctly they really only have a chance to wreak havoc if you eat more than one. The magnets will pretty well pass right through, but if they start attracting each other and pinch off your intestines you're in for a world of hurt.

Neodymium Magnets: bet you can't eat just one.

[–]Heofz -1 points0 points ago

Or you could get Zoobs, I used to play with those all the time when I was a kid!

Edit: Apparently, they're supposed to be educational, too.

[–]bobula13 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I've used those (the geomag variety), and they're fun, but they're very much based on equilateral triangles. They work well and all, but stable cubes doesn't happen with them.

I also like the idea of the simplicity of steel, rather than extruded plastic.

[–]myinnervoice 0 points1 point ago

[–]shard013 0 points1 point ago

I've done it before, I just rendered it twice, the second time with a few pieces removed, and then just a few minutes in photoshop.

http://shard013.deviantart.com/art/Inside-out-11658091

I also rendered it at 8 times the intended final product size to make it easier to hide the edited edges.

His would have been harder but I imagine very similar could have been done to achieve this.

[–]rasputine -2 points-1 points ago

Yah, and some photoshop to change the lighting on the crosspieces. Ho hum.

[–]Raptor_Captor 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It is actually possible to build an object in real life that, when photographed from the proper angle, makes this same effect as an optical illusion. I saw how it was done in my psych textbook last year but can't find it online anywhere.

[–]SupaDupaFly 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I did it for a cog sci class, it's actually a lot harder than you'd imagine. Because of the shift in perceived sizes based on perspective, it's pretty hard to make the cube appear to have normal dimensions from the perspective that it appears as an illusion.

As well as that, the occlusion of one bar over another is quite difficult to imitate in three dimensions, since the borders need to line up perfectly, and 3-dimensional vision stops that from happening. Still, if you shut one eye, and look at it in the right lighting, the illusion works pretty well. I could post some pictures of the cube I made if anyone is interested at all.

What's so hard about this? Obviously you put the one tube in the hole, then the other orb in into the tube over there, with the tube then going into the orb and so on until that one tube is in the orb and the other tube is in the orb.

Not actually that well executed; the middle ball doesn't have a proper depth of field at the top to really make it feel like it would be the top front point of the cube, and it makes the whole image end of looking flat; he should have done another pass and composited it better.
