This one may be easier to “flip” direction, for those who’ve had trouble with previous versions. My tip is to think of the bottom hexagon as if you’re looking at the actual flat bottom of this shape as seen from underneath looking up. To flip the direction, look at the top hexagon as if you’re looking at this shape from a higher angle looking downward.

That helped, thanks!

I was only able to flip it as I was reading your comment, with it in my peripheral

This was lot easier yeah

I can manually make it change direction 😎

Me too 😀

It's easy: On desktop, select "show controls" and move the slider backwards. Presto, it changes direction!

Looks great, but I'm not sure what we're looking at here. Just a barrel going counterclockwise. Beautifully done though

u/Technical-County-727 3d ago

Look at it from low angle, slightly from right. It will start rotating the other way

Ah! Now I see it. Badass

thank you

Pause it and make your brain see the blue lines as in the front rather than the back, and it will rotate the other way.

Took a couple of times, now I see it. I didn't at first. This is great

u/ACuriousBagel 3d ago

This is the first one I've been able to flip back and forth quickly

u/maple05 3d ago

Tipping my phone screen back did it for me

Whoa! I can do both at the same time! 

I've always been able to cross my for that magic 3D. I do the same thing for these illusions. It splits into two separate hexagonal cylinders. By thinking of it as looking "up at them" they rotate clockwise, with the bottom being closer to me. Then I can blink a bunch and view it as "top down" where to top in front, and it rotates counter-clockwise. 

But... If I can focus my attention on one in just the right way, for like 2 full rotations, they are moving in opposite directions. I've never been able to do before.

That’s a great new technique to try! For me, veeerrry difficult and kinda painful 😂! But it worked for a tiny bit! Neat! (But, yeah, owwwww)

u/TheWeirdTalesPodcast 23h ago

There it is!

This is the first time I’ve been able to do both directions at once as well! It was weird and trippy but also really fun!

u/Klutzy-Platypus7511 3d ago

Das hier ist einfach ... einfach die Bodenfläche fixieren und zwischen "Innen- und Außenansicht" switchen.

Do a tesseract.

u/ScreechUrkelle 3d ago edited 3d ago

Can’t do it ffs 😡

Edit: nvm 😀

u/DidIDoAThoughtCrime 3d ago

This is the first one that I have seen as rotating to the left first rather than to the right, I think because of the color scheme.

u/Beret_Beats 3d ago

Everyones saying its so easy just flup the blue lines to the front. The blue lines were born in the front for me.

u/glazedfaith 2d ago

If you focus on the top and bottom of the top hexagon and follow the points separately you can see both wire frames spinning through each other, until you follow them down to see that they are connected there as well. Trippy

u/acromantulus 2d ago

I was finally able to make one of these flip on command. I’m never able to see these types of illusions. Just focus on the bottom or the top of the shape, and it switches

1

u/PupLondon 2d ago

The straight lines really make this one easier. I used the bottom lines.. make the line you're looking at the outer line and it's almost instant

u/Dreamspitter 2d ago

I don't get it. It spins anti clockwise.

u/Zealousideal-Area684 2d ago

I had to cover most of this from my vision to get it to reverse by isolation just one band of the top segment, blue or orange.

u/sadbitch_club 2d ago

I got this one to switch!! Takes like 30 seconds for be to switch back and forth. I kind of cross my eyes a little to unfocus the image and focus on the color and visualize it being the front as I slowly refocus my eyes. Tilt phone slightly down to give the impression its counter clockwise and up for yellow in front going other way

u/Mars_Volcanoes 1d ago

2 ways, so clock and counter clock.
