Meh...maybe your eyesight is a little out of whack. No biggie. You\'re not missing much.

Ironically enough, I have an appointment at the eye doctor this saturday cause I think I need glasses.

Wow...well...get the glasses and then come back to this thread and try again.

if you have glasses like me, when ya take them off the faces instantly switch sides.

With my contacts in (better than 20/20) - I have to get more than 10 feet away to get the effect.
With my old glasses, about -1.5 I only have to be 4-5 feet away.
Without glasses (I\'m -2.75) I get the effect at about 6-7 inches, weakly, and further out, the picture is too blurry to see. Goddamn I\'m blind

without my eye glasses,

i can see the expression switch with only about 3 feet away from the screen. With my eyeglasses on, i need to move about 15 feet away to notice the effect.

I got back about 10 feet and saw it. Pretty freaking cool.

I guess it also tells you how bad your eyes are, the better they are (without glasses), the further away you need to move in order to be able to see the transition

I shrunk the picture down a bit and didn\'t have to back up as far.

I showed it to one of our graphics guys and he guesses it has to do with the shadows. When you back up you can\'t see the fine detail, so the shadows dictate what you see and they\'re set up to make the other face look angry.

Maybe.

I took off my specs and the image changed.

« **Reply #25 on:** October 27, 2005, 08:42:08 AM »

that\'s because your focal point changes

Thats a pretty cool image. I wonder how people come up with these things.

« **Reply #27 on:** October 27, 2005, 03:31:20 PM »

Its not rocket science.

Anyone who has taken a fundamental drawing/art class should be able to replicate this.

Its just manipulating the shading and details.

^^^^^

Why don\'t you make one for us?

« **Reply #29 on:** October 27, 2005, 07:42:01 PM »

Give me a week.

It will actually fufill an Art class requirement.
