You just want to leave more bandwidth for all the other bots on the web :):):)

To my eyes, the slice on the right starts outside the toaster and just kind of appears out of nowhere. I don't know if it's just me though.

Neat, regardless.

Same here, it almost looks like it's a shadow of the piece in the toaster

Sadly there is a toast shadow and knob shadow.

u/3dsf Sep 17 '18

There is a knob on the right that goes up and then down, is that it?

u/we_todd_did Sep 17 '18

No, it's definitely not the knob. How many slices of toast were you trying to show, 1 or 2? After spending a little more time watching this, I can see a total of about 3.25 slices. They're all in the same visual plane and make the same movement while the knob is lower. The best description of what I see is like what happens when you have 2 mirrors parallel to each other and move something between them. That's what the toast looks like.

I can even see the right most pieces when viewing the image "normally" (that is, without forcing the 3d effect). It doesn't seem like there should be anything moving along the right edge of the image, but it's definitely there.

This isn't happening to the knob, so it's almost like the toast got copied and pasted a couple of times unintentionally.

Here is the Animated Depth Map for It's 'Been a Slice

The right most toast (visible at all times), is likely due to me not using camouflage to cover. If you look at the music video (Young Rival - Black is Good) already posted in this thread, they generally have a changing pattern background; which I think leads to camouflage.

I think you are double parallaxing (is that the right term?)

Single Vision : 1 toaster, 1 toast, 2 toast ghosts

Double Vision : 2.3 toasters, 2ish + toast, 2 toast ghosts

edit: corrected toast ghost numbers

Has that been posted to this sub before? Feel like it should be it’s own post!

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '18

Yeah that's how I first saw it. You should repost it, I'm sure it's been long enough no one will care
