This thread has moved from the general chat area to the brand spanking new Contest forum.

:D This is the voting theread for the Optical Illusion Contest :D

The gallery is at

http://www.selleri.org/Blender/

And follow the link to the gallery. There are 10 entries, three of which are mine, but I don't think it is fair to participate to a Contest I'm organizing.... so they are not in the poll options :P

Voting poll has a 7 days lifetime.

Cheers,

Stefano

Nice illusions - my brain hurts ;)

...

It seems that my entry (http://www.ectopia.net/safi/maximum-illusion2.jpg) (112k) was lost in the mail (wrong email address, perhaps?) :(

It's nothing elaborate - just a simple, convincing, optical illusion.

:( I'm really sorry :(

I've checked my mailbox twice but I can't find any mail from you, but my e-mail address here on elysiun looks right...

Nice image! I'm not sure if I should add it a posteriori...
voting has already started :(

I've checked my logs, and the entry email got at least as far as a machine called "diefi.det.unifi.it".

Don't add my picture - I missed out. It's sad, but I'll live ;)

why does everyone like jbelanche's the best? i mean it's a great render with awesome lighting, but as far as an optical illusion, it's rather simple, not nearly as complex as soem of the others.

Hi Valar King!
I think the same!: my work isnt the best at the gallery...too simple for a optical illusion. :D

cheers,

Maybe it's just me, but if it's a contest, shouldn't each person be limited to one entry instead of a few people with multiple images?

Well, I posted all that I got (except for ectizen, sorry again, and the machine you are quoting is one of my University, so I can't understand why I never received the e-mail...)

After all also CurtiS allowed multiple entries!

That's pretty much why I voted for it. It's simple, well-lit, doesn't have extra to detract from the illusion, and has a good texture.

Actually, my favorite was #2 because of the simplicity, but I couldn't vote for that.

I think #10 would have been better without the Terragen background.

That's my $.02. It would be interesting to hear other's comments.

exactly. i've voted for jbelanche too. it may be a simple illusion, but the mood is much better then the others.

Herm...

I'm not going to tell whom I voted for, but you might guess :)

By the way,

WHY only 38 votes out of 555 community members???

Stefano, I wasn't able to vote because the voting buttons just donīt appear in my browser (tried Mozilla, Konqueror, IE and Opera). I guess my IP was registered once years ago, and now the server believes that I already voted... I don't know... maybe this happened to more people... anybody ?

For valarking's dissapointment I would have vote for jbelanche ! :D

Hmm...
16 votes for jbelanche's triangle, and 2 votes for my one with that same triangle...
No complaints, it was a fair contest, just asking what I could do to improve mine (and the waterfall too, my two entries are the bottom two in the voting)

With the waterfall, I like the illusion, but the look of the water is distracting. It is hard to do realistic water with Blender. On the other pair of images, I liked the illusion. If there was a way to assign points (10 votes distributed among the entries), I would have given some to your images. I picked jbelanche's because I really like the lighting.

Yes, CurtiS voting system was better, but well, polls are built in here :)
