You can see it’s a paper cutout on the first picture. If you look at the top left of the cutout, you can see some of the paper.

Did anyone bother to read the description of the illusion??

"Greg managed to print and assemble 3D model of a Beer can, and align it in front of the monitor..."

So yes, it is indeed a paper cutout. They even said so! No brownie points for the people who had to work it out by looking at the pictures lol.

basically a 2D cut out,. in the budweiser one, you can easily see the pic behind it!

PS All of the technogirs submissions are mine. Sorry for being too intellectual and spoiling most illusions.

Now guys, it is obvious after some consideration that they are both paper cut-outs.

But what were you taught at school...?
...If you dont have something nice to say, don't say it at all!

And thats the end of it. Detention for those who oppose the mighty optical community. shame on you!

Guys, you're all so quick to put this stuff down. Yes it's obvious how it's done but at first glance an interesting optical effect is achieved. You're like the people who just say 'photoshop' whenever you see something odd. Actually you probably are those guys.

But if this is so easy and thus unimpressive to achieve, why not create the illusion yourself, it'll clearly be such a short and easy job.
