gggmork Posted January 27, 2009 Just a short experiment wad. Simply strafe to the right while facing the same direction to see the illusion. http://www.sendspace.com/file/x300cs If you have no clue what I'm writing about, search 'hollow face illusion' in youtube. It works up/down as well as side/side (if you add a lift/stairs). 0 Share this post Link to post
Steeveeo Posted January 27, 2009 Not as severe as some of the real-world examples, as its not a true hollow carving (and some of the angling is off), but a nice attempt nonetheless. (EDIT: Spelling) 0 Share this post Link to post
40oz Posted January 28, 2009 Kinda goofy. I sorta see the illusion, but you kinda have to look at it looking for the illusion, which would normally go unnoticed in traditional doom architecture. I'd like to see other illusions used in doom however. I'm gonna do some research and see if I can come up with anything. 0 Share this post Link to post
EarthQuake Posted January 28, 2009 Nice! It's definitely not perfect, but I didn't have much trouble seeing the illusion. I think the major flaw is that the textures are solid and touching the ground. If you blended them into the background a bit more, hide the base of the texture or blend it into the ground, and restrict player movement, it should be a really solid effect. Props for being the first to test such an illusion. You will be pleasantly surprised how many type of optical illusions you can pull off in Doom. I have done quite a few tests myself. 0 Share this post Link to post
