Nice illusion. :bigthup

It's seems like a concave image of the face or something like that.

What would be cool is finding templates to these to print these out for ourselves for folding; maybe even a GIMP preset to make them. lol

I think there is a template in the description box.

There is a link but I couldn't get it to work so I found this, Amazing T. rex illusion (make your own).
Three templates are below the YouTube video.

Thanks for the link odin; going to print it out and try it myself. lol

Well, printed it out, but can't figure out the folds. lol

Maybe these screen caps will help.

lol; I actually paused the video in several points; still can't figure it out based on the template that I printed. I bore way too easily too odin so just trashed it. lol

Thanks for that Lyle - I love optical illusions. A lot of them only work in 2D so a camera is essential because you only have one lens whereas stereoscopic vision would prevent the illusion from occurring.

Thanks for that explanation Odinbc.
It's all so crystal clear now about how the illusion works. :hehe
