Swedish artist Oscar Reutersvard, known as “the father of impossible figures”, created a version of the famous Penrose Triangle: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_triangle) long before Penrose himself. The first attached image is my model of the Reutersvard triangle from the correct angle, the second is rotated slightly.
I lit the scene with just a sun light, so it would be great if anybody had any suggestions on how to light the scene better (perhaps with a good way of doing shadows without spoiling the illusion?).
Hey, thanks for the suggestions. I think the ambient occlusion works well. I had to tweak a few things, like putting in a cube behind the cut-up one so that it would have the correct shading, and stuff like that, but I think it’s fairly convincing.
