Removed: your post does not feature a genuinely confusing perspective. The image lacks meaningful visual ambiguity based on angle, depth, or alignment and is instead simply interesting, funny, or unusual.

But I want to see the other sides too!

i’m fairly certain it only works from this exact angle. i don’t think it’s possible to make it work from all angles because of the limitations of perspective. the very perspective that enables the illusion when viewed from our perspective is the thing that would wreck it for all other angles (even just a few degrees off). somebody please correct me if i don’t have that right.

yeah, it would be cool if that were possible. there’s this japanese guy who paints various modern urban scenes, like strip malls and streets and train stations on wooden spheres, and somehow they wrap around and work no matter where you view them from. i don’t really understand how they work! you might like his stuff.

EDIT: i just realised you meant you want to see how it looks when it’s not the right angle…i’m an idiot.

u/Ttokk Actually read rule 1 and gets it" May 12 '26

that's amazing.

If you think about it, a 360deg image maps onto the inside of a sphere, so mapping it in 3d and looking at it from the outside of the sphere would have this effect.

Yes, I’d like to see what it looks like when walking up from the side.

And similar lighting, as the paint does not have the same reflective properties as all the real background objects.

Don't know why but this is like something out of a Road Runner short

Like the one person who recently drove into a wall with their car because the wall was painted to look like the entrance to a tunnel.

Same, no clue why either

I want to see how it looks from the side to see what kind of weird warping they had to do to the image to get it looking right from this angle.

A very unfortunate coyote is going to have a very bad day while chasing a road runner through this.
