Josh Sommers is the guy we mentioned few times on Mighty Optical Illusions in the past. His Escheresques and Impossible CG Objects, that I found out little later were done by Josh as well, are truly wonderful piece of art. Today I prepared part II of his impossible object collection. The “impossible objects” he created digitally, are nothing new frankly (similar cubes, triangles and pyramids we have seen dozens of times in the past). But their visual appearance is breath taking! When I first received these images, I believed they represent true photos of some amazing real life structures, that are shot from specific angle, so that they appear impossible in their nature. Best example can be found here.

amazing….just amazing
wow…o_O
AAAAHHH!!!!
these are so crazy i love them!
omg i have done 1 and four they are so easy
They’re either beautifully designed, or poorly made :P
very nice
some of these are possible, just only if you made them and looked at them in a special way
The first one and the triangle one are easy to understand
The reflections are a neat touch. Nice work.
Wonder what program he is using Maya or 3DS Max?
Great, mysterious. I’d love to decorate my bedroom with them, but where I live it’s really hard to find any posters of this kind.
its good, but is kinda origional
I think they’re normal objects but they’ve painted on them some shades
to make them look impossible.
Cool!
beautiful, just beautiful.
I especially like in the last one that even if you make it with “holes” in the right spots, you’d still have to deal with faking the shadows.
In the triangle you can see the shadow that shows how it’s made!!I’ve seen the explanation on a optical illusions book
the first is a simple hexagon
The first is just a hmmm… hexagon justed tilted to look impossible
Yes, they`re good, but the first one isn`t an illusion i think…
You see the shadow!
I have a friend that draws that kind of illusions (on paper tho). :)
They are really eye-catching!
Photoshop is great ^^
the first looks a bit like a geomag
Notice how diffuse the shadows are. I guess they would have to be because there is no projection for these impossible shapes at those angles. Would cloudy conditions produce this lighting condition? I noticed that the outdoor reflections show a cloudy sky. Nice thinking on the part of the artist!
people say the first one is possible but if you take a close look at the corners all of them are impossible.
the last one seemed extremely unecessary to me haha
ANGLE ANGLE ANGLE! THAT IS ALL IT IS , AND YES THERE ARE SOME PRETTY STUMPING ONES BUT I HAVE SEEN THEM ALL IN BOOKS AND PICS , SO JUST KNOW THAT IT IS ANGLE ANGLE ANGLE!
y must you mess with my brain??? :P
kidding! i love these illusions!! it’s all in the angles!!!! :)
