The illusion of the two axes This mirage entitled "mirage of the two shafts" first appeared in the competition for the best mirage 2019 (Best Illusion of the Year Contest). This optical illusion seems to defy logic by activating both axes simultaneously, horizontal and vertical axis. Making things even more confusing, The direction of rotation is also ambiguous.
A triple optical illusion This optical illusion won "Best Illusion of the Year Contest 2018", and was created by the Japanese Kokichi Sugihara. It is a plan that has three different faces from three different angles.
Lego Train Dream Ride – 2D version – Amazing darkride! The endresult is by far not what I wanted to create. This is the best I could achieve in the very limited space I have(Single room apartment). The whole ride is hanging on the ceiling(!). At some point you just have to say "Ok this is done." Although it's not even close to done... After four month of working on this almost every day. Many concept builds before this one till I got some elements right.
Rotate in MS Paint Here I rotate clockwise by thirty degrees as a demonstration. The symbol 'x' in this case refers to an angle shift in the clockwise direction. For an anti-clockwise rotation a negative value of 'x' is required. In retrospect the Greek letter 'theta' might have been a more familiar choice of symbols to denote angle, but it means the same thing. As someone in the comments pointed out this method only works if you keep the same selection area throughout. Make sure the selection isn't set to 'transparent' and that your calculator is set on degrees rather than radians. In the more recent versions of MS Paint the second step can be problematic if the selection area doesn't have sufficient room to expand. For best results use a large image, and use the ninety degree rotation option to rotate to the nearest forty-five degrees of the final orientation. I recommend leaving out the forth step if the size of the final image isn't important. The rotation is inexact not only because pixels can't be rotated, but also because the second step usually requires the programme to round up or down, which causes the image to become slightly distorted. The only exception (other than the trivial example of zero degrees) is a rotation by sixty degrees. Here are the figures: Step 1: Horizontal skew by 60 degrees Step 2: Vertical stretch by 400% Step 3: Vertical skew by -60 degrees Step 4: Horizontal and vertical stretch by 50% A forty-five degree rotation/expansion can also be done precisely provided the last step is ignored (the image would be larger than the original by a factor of the square root of two). A rotation by ninety degrees by this method is impossible, as it would require a division by zero in the second step. Fortunately there is an option in MS Paint to rotate by ninety degrees. Another comment suggested an alternative method that doesn't require any stretching: Step 1: Horizontal skew by θ/2 Step 2: Vertical skew by -arctan[without[i]]
Step 3: Horizontal skew by θ/2 Again, a positive value of theta corresponds to a clockwise shift. The only issue I see with this method is that MS Paint only allows integers as inputs, so the first and third steps can only be approximated for a rotation shift of an odd number of degrees, but as a major bonus it doesn't require any compression if the size of the image has to be retained.

Why people believe they can’t draw – and how to prove they can | Graham Shaw | TEDxHull Why is it that so many people think they can’t draw? Where did we learn to believe that? Graham Shaw will shatter this illusion – quite literally - in a very practical way. He’ll demonstrate how the simple act of drawing has the power to make a positive difference in the world. Graham specialises in the art of communication and has helped thousands of people to make important presentations. He is perhaps best known for his use of fast cartoon drawings to communicate ideas and is the author of ‘The Art of Business Communication’.
