I'm only going to speak in animated gifs in this thread. ;)

Nice. From more or less straight-on views it’s not so great an illusion for some reason, but just before it’s turned to the point you can see the back-side of the form, the depth-cuing kicks in and it looks really convincingly like a cube to me.

In one of the Megaten games, I think SMT 3, there was a level in which some corridors had these trompe-l’oeil stepped-pyramid endcaps that made it look like the corridor continued (in the PS2 rendering) from a distance and if you weren’t paying attention you could almost bump your nose on them… Some artist was just showing off, I guess, as it really didn’t have any gameplay value except weirdness, but the feel of the illusion was similar to the one above.

That gif would be more effective if there was more time spent on the illusion and less time showing how it’s done.

I’d say Marcus should be in that too, but he’s a cop, not a soldier.

Hans_Lauring · 2011-07-10T15:43:17.000Z

… and with all due respect to Marcus he’s no LK or Lum in P&R.
(and Lum’s no soldier)

Obligatory gif:

MatthewF · 2011-07-10T16:34:50.000Z

Oh, I thought Lum was/is a soldier. Hmm. Marcus does leave a pretty firey wake when he exits stage-left, though. He’s stomped down so many cop fallacies that people still try to stick to even now. Boom.

Hans_Lauring · 2011-07-10T17:18:57.000Z

This isn’t P&R so let’s just leave it at me disagreeing with you on that one.

Back on topic. See, monster!

He does look a bit like Keith there…

I just know that thing’s going to land in a puddle of gasoline.

But when? I have been watching it for 10 minutes now…

This is taken from Reddit, but it’s undeniably bizarre and slightly unnerving, so it qualifies:

Lum is too old to be a soldier. Unless you count the revolutionary war.

Hanzii +1’ed this…

You guys are just being silly. Have you ever even met Lum? Dude’s nothing if not a Civil War general. Lum looks like he just got out of a time machine to Antietam.

Those are the creepiest ones with the static background. What kind of Photoshop sorcery does it take to pull that off?
