    Amazing! I always thought that this one by Escher is based on an optical illusion like the drawings with the water running upstream. I did not know that this with the staircases can be built in reality and still work. Thus, you have proven this point by building a model in 3 D. I think M.C. Escher would like your work.

      There is actually one optical illusion in his drawing, but I managed to work around it.

    This was very interesting to me as a few years back I made an attempt at building this scene using the Reallusion animation software. I got pretty close but not anywhere near as close as you did here. I wouldn't have thought this could be reproduced in the real world. Totally amazing to me. Kudos on a job well done.

    Hey just found this! Really great work! How many hours did this take you? I've been working on a version in Blender to recreate it in color. I also did Waterfall in color and Relativity is by far more simple to create. I saw you mentioned there's some impossible geometry or optical illusion in this one? Curious where...

    • @theavidcreator7356
      @theavidcreator7356  11 месяцев назад

      Hi. I worked on this sporadically over many months, so I'm honestly not sure how many hours it took, and wouldn't hazard a guess. Good luck with your Blender project. The impossible geometry is that you can see the underside of the two arches in the top left, but shouldn't be able to at that angle. It's a small thing though.
