You ask "how is this computer-generated car outline an optical illusion"? Well, to your surprise, it isn't computer generated - it's real life sculpture, created by British artist Benedict Radcliffe. I got these 3 photos from a reader called Zafar Iqbal, who "just had to submit this". Zafar also added that the sculpture "looks amazing and so non-real". I agree. It's like those 3D street lines, everyone thought were also created by a computer. I think these are magnificent (two more photos inside the post). I like "installation" optical illusions very much, and try to post them as often I can. Many of those are really original, but some are also very abstract. Be sure to check other installation optical illusion in my archives. Enjoy!

    If you don't get it, the 3-D scuplture looks like a 2-D computer generated image.

    That's not really an illusion..more like a sweet peice of art. i really like it though, it's awesome.

    If it really is sculpture and not computer generated, why aren't any people around in any of the pics? It isn't believable without somebody touching it!

    This appears to be a wire frame image, but it’s not. That makes it an illusion. All illusions could be considered a work of art...

    Poster number 2, you were not first. How embarrassing.

    i think its fotshopped becuase u cant see a shadow

  22. Anonymous Anonymous 

    The first one's a photoshop job - no shadows, and the only other way's a drawing on the ground (but a car would interrupt the drawing).

    The second and third, though, are either wireframes or chalk drawings distorted for a perfect perspective.

    does he have to pay for over time parking?

  24. Anonymous Anonymous 

    I don't think this is real. If it's a real sculpture, where is its shadow? Unless you're gonna tell me that it's made of transparent material. O.o
