Thanks to Rico for orthographic and Warp for radial ideas. Beats my
efforts a few years ago using tapered boxes (truncated pyramids) to
fix perspective. This one uses pov 3.1g, no cheats. OK! OK! So there's
only 3 letters per cube. Who's gonna notice?

A cautionary tale: Don't mess with little old ladies!
My neighbour is serious about 3D decollage - turning a picture or
photo into a layered or "height field" picture by cutting out objects
then replacing them in a raised position relative to their original
depth. She also manages some very good stuff in quilts. I gave her
some copies of this pic ;-)  "Lovely!" says she. It took an evenings
hard work for her to figure something was wrong. Doctor says I can
leave hospital next week.

I think you could even increase confusion with some creative use of
no_shadow, no_image and light groups...

Is it in any way different from Warp's Impossible Triangle? If it is, I 
don't see it (the structure I mean, not the textures or colours)...

Well, I didn't see any source from Warp so I don't know how he did
his. He mentioned clipped_by plane but I coud not figure that out. I
used 1 clipped_by cube. The area I was concentrating on was the
checkered floor. Its orthographic, remember?

no_image? I'm using pov3.1g, but I could probably have fun with those
in megapov.
