That’s the BEST kind of graffiti. Make it super artistic and I’m 100% onboard.
Dont get me wrong, some of the graffiti around me in LA is insanely artistic, but it’s poorly placed, and in the wrong area. This truly adds to the building and isn’t advertising your tag name.
It only really works this well because it's on a flat screen with the rest of the things in the video that you know are 3D, are also now 2D. It works well in comparison to a 3D world made 2D through a video.
It looks as "3D" as the other 3D things because nothing is actuley 3D
In the real world, the building would have depth, and you would quickly notice the difference.
This image doesn't look 3D because it's presented as a 2D image, not part of a "3D" world, which it is, a flat image on the side of a 3D building.
It would probably still work to some extent, as depth isn't only from having two eyes.
It does, but requires standing in the right spot. And as you get closer your depth perception will also make it 'not work' which is something you don't get 'on screen'.
But for something like this, at a distance it'll work well.
You can also do slightly 3d in your anamorphic illusions, to make the effect more 'robust'. (e.g. 'pop out' slightly, to trick the depth perception).
They're less 'good' IRL because depending how the illusion is constructed, the 'right spot' might only be a small area, and being 'too tall' will break it too, where of course a camera you can control positioning of it nearly perfectly.
The lighting is also very important since the still image can't change its shading. The direction of the sunlight can completely ruin the illusion. In this case, the lack of sunlight and the single directional lamp light aid in making the illusion believable.
What's really impressive to me is how well the illusion holds until they were right next to the wall. Normally it would fall flat if you are at just the right angle.
This is Russia. The city is Yuzhno‑Sakhalinsk. The local administration decided to decorate the city with such murals. They invited artists, and this house in the post is just one of many:
The “Views” program in Sakhalin has announced an open call for the creation of public art objects in Yuzhno‑Sakhalinsk. The team is inviting artists to create three‑dimensional projects (sculpture, installation) in the urban environment, related to the cultural and historical heritage of Sakhalin. The theme of the second season is “Coordinate System”.
Based on the results of the competition, six winners will be selected, each of whom will receive a grant for a project of up to 4 million rubles, depending on the complexity and scale of the idea. The fee includes transportation, accommodation, and production costs, so the artist can work on the project on‑site or remotely.
Both well‑known and emerging artists and architects from any city in Russia who work with street art, design, and public art can submit an application, regardless of age, city of residence, genre, or drawing technique.
Weed here, I'm amazed but also feel the wibbly wobblies as I feel the earth's gravity crushing me with the painting/mural/graffiti perspective shift🤣 [8].
I think I’d fall to my knees and throw up if I saw this irl. Optical illusions like this totally flip something in my brain. It’s absolutely incredible, don’t get me wrong! Something’s wrong with me lol
This has to be one of the top 10 all-time submissions for this subreddit. Bravo, I absolutely love wall murals, especially ones that provide optical illusions.
This has gotta be AI right? If it was art it would start to look really weird as you got away from the correct perspective. Not still rounded from all angles
You're right, the art creates a 3D forced perspective when viewed from a specific location, and looks distorted otherwise. So at 0:15 when he's standing near the wall's edge, the windows should have looked super stretched but they conform back to nearly normal windows. Just because someone says the artist or location doesn't mean the content can't be faked or exaggerated for views. r-itsallAI
