    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.

    • @theavidcreator7356
      @theavidcreator7356  Год назад +5

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

    This was quite phenomenal - not only the building of the model but the excellent work in making the video. I can't believe it has just 1,9K views; I've seen real dreck garner 10M views. Go figure.

    I think your creation should be in the Escher museum in the Netherlands. Escher was a genius drawing impossible things that formed in his head. You made that impossible thing into a reality. Beautiful.

    This is amazing and it makes me remember my father .I turned in a working waterwheel on a mill / history project for 8th grade (1964-65) .....what I was allowed to do was paint at the finish ! My father enjoyed constructing model airplanes (pre WW2) and my projects thru school .This model would have been something to share with him .

    • @theavidcreator7356

    Ok... You've inspired me to finish a project I've been putting off. I have an idea of a wizard's tower based off of Escher's work but I wasn't sure the weird geometry twists would translate well to real 3D. I see now that it is possible. Thanks!

    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.

    • @theavidcreator7356

    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  8 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.
