is this supposed to be an optical illusion?? the vertical support in the
rear looks funny. it crosses the front top horizontal support.

I noticed that too but I wasn't going to say anything.  Nice textures and
lighting though :-)

I notice a couple of those...  I'd be curious to see the code and how that
happened.

The first time i saw your (excellent) work, i got that Escher feeling
ringing a bell somewhere, but i coudn't remember what was it.

So, i finally found it.

IRTC, 1998-10-31 , Water Round, the pic waterfa1.jpg (2nd Place, iirc)

I think Sascha used a trick which is quite similar to yours, perhaps you'd
be interested in this link:

And congratulations for the image :-)
It's kinda tricky to manage those illusions, ahn?

I see.  Similar yet opposite.  He used a plane perpendicular to the
camera while I used a plane that intersects with the camera. 
(Perspective!)  I also recall seeing this image before and rendering it
a couple of times myself.  Never took the time to figure out exactly
what he did though.  I also recall seeing an animation of this once
where a perspective camera with a narrow angle slowly zoomed in until
it was a normal perspective.  Unfortunately, I have absolutely no idea
where I saw that.  Possibly about 2000 messages back in p.b.a?  I'll
take a look.

Thanks.  Illusions are always fun to do in pov.  Drawing is one thing
but designing and programming them is always a challenge.

Actually, it was another irtc entry:
"That's Impossible" (h20fall.mpg) by Joe Wise. It won 2nd Place in the "Inner
Workings" round:
