This thread has moved from the general chat area to the brand spanking new Contest forum.
This is the voting theread for the Optical Illusion Contest
The gallery is at
http://www.selleri.org/Blender/
And follow the link to the gallery. There are 10 entries, three of which are mine, but I don’t think it is fair to participate to a Contest I’m organizing… so they are not in the poll options 
Voting poll has a 7 days lifetime.
Cheers,
Stefano

/me thinks it is time to stop going to bed that deep in the a.m. portion of the clock (at least outside weekends)

Nice illusions - my brain hurts 
…
It seems that my entry (112k) was lost in the mail (wrong email address, perhaps?)
It’s nothing elaborate - just a simple, convincing, optical illusion.
I’m really sorry
I’ve checked my mailbox twice but I can’t find any mail from you, but my e-mail address here on elysiun looks right…
Nice image! I’m not sure if I should add it a posteriori…
voting has already started
Stefano
I’ve checked my logs, and the entry email got at least as far as a machine called “diefi.det.unifi.it”.
Don’t add my picture - I missed out. It’s sad, but I’ll live
why does everyone like jbelanche’s the best? i mean it’s a great render with awesome lighting, but as far as an optical illusion, it’s rather simple, not nearly as complex as soem of the others.
Hi Valar King!
I think the same!: my work isnt the best at the gallery…too simple for a optical illusion.
cheers,
Javier
Maybe it’s just me, but if it’s a contest, shouldn’t each person be limited to one entry instead of a few people with multiple images?
Well, I posted all that I got (except for ectizen, sorry again, and the machine you are quoting is one of my University, so I can’t understand why I never received the e-mail…)
After all also CurtiS allowed multiple entries!
Stefano
That’s pretty much why I voted for it. It’s simple, well-lit, doesn’t have extra to detract from the illusion, and has a good texture.
Actually, my favorite was #2 because of the simplicity, but I couldn’t vote for that.
I think #10 would have been better without the Terragen background.
That’s my $.02. It would be interesting to hear other’s comments.
exactly. i’ve voted for jbelanche too. it may be a simple illusion, but the mood is much better then the others.
Roel
same here
Herm…
I’m not going to tell whom I voted for, but you might guess 
By the way,
WHY only 38 votes out of 555 community members???
Stefano
Me I voted for theeth, his stair just made me dizzy.
Good job everyone
pofo
wheeeeeee!

Stefano, I wasn’t able to vote because the voting buttons just don´t appear in my browser (tried Mozilla, Konqueror, IE and Opera). I guess my IP was registered once years ago, and now the server believes that I already voted… I don’t know… maybe this happened to more people… anybody ?
For valarking’s dissapointment I would have vote for jbelanche !
Ooops, after a while I realized what was the problem … have to log in BEFORE open the thread…
Sorry valarKing… I did it
