Camouflage?

Having a pair of eyes capable of stereopsis gives us better depth perception and camo-breaking abilities. I suspect these 2-dimensional images take advantage of that.

That’s impressive.

It has realistic movement and changes of perspective.

The technology that seems to render 2D as 3D is called ‘Stereoscopy’.  Two offset images are presented to us, one to each eye, in the same way that we normally perceive depth. The Unreal Engine is amazing. I help architects and engineers use it, or Enscape, to render 3d buildings from Revit…[Read more]

I noticed that, but it still doesn’t explain the hyper 3D effect.

Here’s another one exhibiting the hyper 3D effect that also goes flat when you pause it.

There are tons of trippy computer-generated “deep dives” into mind-bending fractal worlds. They use the rules of perspective to simulate depth in 2D but the example in the top post does something I can’t identify to go beyond those rules, understood and used by painters in the Renaissance until today, to depict objects in space accurately. I will…[Read more]

The sisters sit down for a long (1 hour +) interview that reaffirms why they have such a fanatical fan base. They are a wonderful combination of humility combined with intelligence and animation. They talk about many things, but for me their writing process was the most interesting part. They say it’s much easier to write lyrics in English, which…[Read more]

Here’s another: ‘Euphoric Equations’. Like a 3D Mandelbrot.  (not as trippy as ‘brickworld’, but still nice)

Then I found a similar photo from real life:

I was thinking the same thing.

Suggestion: If you can, download it and edit out of it a manageably long chunk.

I was with him until about 10 minutes in. “True strength is venerability. True status is equality. True wealth is sharing. Ignorance is strength. Freedom is slavery. War is peace.”
