I might make a map around this where you're fighting with that statue looking at you. Lol, Cold Storage.

Here's how it works: In real life, if you made that out of paper, you would have to close one eye. It's all about depth perception. With both eyes open, it's easy to see the real thing and not the illusion, but when you close one eye you lose your depth perception. With 2 eyes, you get a 3D image sent to your mind. With one eye open, it's like looking at a picture. Obviously, pictures aren't 3D, so you really can't tell how far away the tree is from the house in the picture.

So the reason why you see the dragon's head move is because of the shadows on the face. The shadows agree with the real dragon and the illusion. So that's why people have a 50/50 chance at seeing the illusion rather than seeing the real thing.

The reason why you don't have to close both eyes when watching the video is because, like a picture, videos are 2D. Remember, videos are just a bunch of pictures flashed at you really fast to make it look like something's moving.

I can see the illusion from the pic. Its pretty simple just like in art class. Nice job perfecting it on halo. Also, can you put on youtube if you can? Some people dont have Sandbox =(

I finally figured out how to look at it right. That's awesome; I've never seen something like this ever attempted on Forge. Great job!
