Magnificent CG Impossible Objects
April 15, 2008 by Vurdlak
Got these 4 impossible objects recently, and since we haven't had any of these in recent past, I decided to share them with you. The "impossibleness" of these objects isn't the main reason I'm sharing them - the main reason is how beautiful they look, even though they aren't real life models (not that they can't be produced in real life). The fact they are CG doesn't make them less amazing. For those of you who don't understand the CG part, CG means Computer generated, or how some of you like to complain in comments section: "photoshopped". So, which one did you like the most? The last one kinda reminds me of our recently covered optical illusion game Echochrome. I liked the first one, but all of them are just amazing!

nice. i like number 1 the best.
Number 2 and 3 seem to be a different impossible than 1 and 4, but I liked number 1 and 3 the best.

(not sure)
Number 1 is the best. It hurts my head though...
=D
A.T.
I love number 1 and 4. 2 and 3 originated from bad instructions for assembling something, although I forget what... Also, I think that if you stretched 4 out width and lengthwise, and keep or shorten the height of it you would be able to construct it. Not without difficulty though.
Number 3 is not impossible. 4 is not impossible either, it is just the perspective and lack of certain shading in places.
Okay this is gonna sound really dumb, but don't get how No 1 is impossible, 2 & 3 I get, 4 took me awile. But 1 Isn't impossible!
OH! Now I get it!
^0^ Weird, strange, odd, cool, sweet, awesome, different...
Whoever said 3 is not impossible, look again. One is not impossible though, if the vertical things were placed at a diagonal angle, it would work.
AWSOME THATZ HOW I LIKE TO SEEEE IT!!
U KNO WAT IT IZ~KEEPIN IT STR8 N 2 OO 8!!!!!!!!!1
P3AC3* LOVE* & SOUL*
I think it's funny how people think that #2 is impossible but #3 isn't! They're the exact same illusion!
plz.....I can build no.4.............lol. I don't believe that!!!!!!
If #1 was actually built, the shadows would have been different. The way the shading works makes it impossible. I don't like #3. It looks unrealistic.
Otherwise I really like the illusions, and this site!
Anyone who says 1 is possible, is free to go make one and submit a picture hehehe :)
The first one only looks impossible but it you look at it long enough you figure out how the structure works.
These are all impossible to build but some of them can be constructed and shown from a different angle, tricking the viewer in thinking they are actually build completely. They are varietions of M.C. Escher's drawings, an artist who lived in the first halve of the 20th century.
Man I must say I really like the 4th one the best. There is so much that can trick your eyes, if you look at one corner, or the ladder, or the mini ramp, or the south facing sqare like section it is always changing. I could see that illusion getting blown up if people kept adding sections to it I think that would be an interesting project. Sort of like writing a story one sentence at a time, when you get to the end you have something really creative.
My 2 cents.
nice ones Vurdlak!
The #1 is possible. It's a perspective trick. Numbering the horizontal planks 1-4 from the top, the #2 and the #4 planks don't actually connect to the back of the post on the right (it's not the same piece of wood as the end parts sticking out of the right post). It's cut at the length so that from the viewer's perspective it looks like it goes behind the other post. Hold your thumb over the right post to cover it and you'll see the shape.
