Dick Terme's Termespheres: Absolutely Amazing.

[SKA]

I was browsing the internet looking for something optical illusion related and I stumbled across a site of an artist named Dick Termes. He creates termespheres; Painted spheres/globes with SUCh a perspective so that it always makes a correct picture. If you spin the ball around it's vertical axis the changing image on the ball strangely looks like a lens looking around the painted scene in 360 degrees instead of looking at a rotating ball. It's really amazing and in order to understand you'd have to see for yourself. http://www.termespheres.com/termesphere-movie.html And the site that offers further information on the artist, his work and how exactly he painted on the spheres a "correct" undistorted scene using the 6 piont perspective. www.termespheres.com I am currently trying to get my head around how to make my own termesphere's. I'm beginning to get it, but it's quite difficult. Enjoypeople, I'm sure you will.
