Code_Ember Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Move your head closer to your monitor and stare at the white dot in the middle of the circle for 20 to 30 seconds. Once 20 to 30 seconds have passed, with your sight fixed to the white dot, slowly move away from the monitor. You will witness a light source coming from the other side of the circle or an eclipse. EDIT: This is now an optical illusion thread. Quote http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f134/Code_Ember/daredevil_v3.png Code_Ember passed away on October 25, 2008.

ZELDA GURU Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Stare at the four white dots for 45 seconds. Then stare at a white blank wall. Blink a few times, what do you get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zwicky Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 This one is cool. 8) Stare at the dot in the centre for ten seconds, then move your head closer and further away from the screen. The circles are in fact stationery(ary?). @zelda guru - that jesus one is pretty awsum lol, it stays for a while as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyroTechniques Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I've seen the above one before... really freaky. This is another really insane one. The lines of checkered squares aren't squashed the way they look. No, really! Check it in PdN or something, you'll see you get the same Y coordinate for both ends of a the line.

D3z Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Unfortunately I do not have access to the picture right now, but I saw this picture with a whole lot of circles that apparently moved more and more as you got more stresssed so if you are realy streesed you see them moving a lot but if you're not they just move a bit.

Ed Harvey Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Some of the above were created by Akiyoshi KITAOKA -- I thought he ought to get credit for his work Here are just a couple more of his brilliant illusions; there's many, many more at his site And the utterly amazing... any moment you see is strictly in your mind 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eli Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 An optical illusion of my own. Made with Paint.net, Red Ochre's Bevel Object and Boltbait's Fill From Clipboard. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red ochre Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Great work Eli! I didn't know this thread existed - many thanks for reviving it. The revolving wheel/snakes in ed Harvey's post (#14) is very effective too. Quote Red ochre Plugin pack..............

Ego Eram Reputo Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I too didn't realize this thread existed. Might as well add these two beauties... The dress image is just an optical illusion similar to this one: In the above image, squares A and B are the same color. Check with eye dropper tool. In the dress image, your color perception is being manipulated by the context (background color). In other words, there is no bug in paint.net relating to the eye dropper tool. The TV show BrainGames had an illusion similar to BoltBait's except in color. It looked something like a Rubik's cube, with one side apparently in shadow. The lighted top side had a brown square and the shadowed side had an orange square, but the two squares were actually exactly the same color. It added to the shading illusion the curious fact that brown is seen as a separate hue, not just as dark orange. (The dress color looks blue to me. I can't imagine it looking white.)

dipstick Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 While not a true optical illusion, it will make you dizzy if you stare at it long enough after a few drinks. I had fun making it anyway. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJW Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Here's my version on the checkerboard shading illusion. It's png instead of jpeg, so there are no encoding artifacts. I produced it almost entirely with Shape3D. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seerose Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 As you look at these dice, try to determine if they are standing up, or laying flat. It seems as if they are doing both. 1 4 Quote Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever. Gandhi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
