- See if you guys could guess what this is.
So if we were to turn this around,
it'll reveal itself
to be--
- I love that one.
What's up everybody?
So, I've got a really fun series of illusions
to show you today, I want you to be able to guess
what they are as we go along.
These are called cylindrical anamorphosis,
and this is my 3D artist on the team, Keejon,
and we've got some fun stuff to show them.
So to give you an example to demonstrate
what the cylindrical morphosis is kinda doing.
So this mirror texture here,
which we'll show you what that is in a second,
when we place the image down here
all funky,
you can put this down right about there.
So you're making a mirror reflection,
and then also distorting it out like that.
And that gives you the little demo of what's going on
when you're looking at these 3D prints,
which are pretty mind tripping,
so let's get into it.
So we're gonna start off with a relatively easy one,
I want you to guess what this is.
Here's the shape here.
This is what they're gonna see.
Now I want you to keep note of what you get right
and what you get wrong
and write it down in the comments if you get these right,
so you may have already guessed what this is,
let's see if you were correct.
So if you put this object in here, right,
then you get the little rubber ducky.
- Rubber ducky.
- That's so cool.
I mean, this one is easier to tell
because of the color.
- Some people when they first look at it
because of the yellow color,
they think it's a banana.
- Oh, yeah, that's funny.
- How about this one?
This one's also kind of easy.
- So I'll put this one down here for you.
Guess what this is.
If you think you got it,
write it down in the comments.
Otherwise, I'm gonna put it in here,
so we turn it around.
Is that a man?
Is that like a,
it looks like a sumo wrestler man in this version,
and then when he gets in here
he loses a little bit of weight.
All right, let's jump onto one on your side,
why don't you pick one for us?
- Let's do this one.
Okay, so this is one of my favorites.
So, see if you guys could guess what this is.
So, it looks like maybe a little house,
it's got a bit of points,
what could it be?
So--
- It does look like a house.
- Yeah.
So if we were to turn this around,
it'll reveal itself to be--
- I love that one.
It's so cool.
The red could've given it away
to some of you, and maybe you guessed,
let me know down below,
but that's so trippy to me,
it's the outside lines that are so cool.
They're just sticking out,
and then flip it around.
- Cause we're not used to observing objects this way.
- Cool.
Okay, I got one.
- Okay.
- Let's see if you guys can guess what this one is,
and if you've think you got it,
let us know,
but I'm gonna reveal here.
Oh I saw it there a little bit,
but let's see if I...
Oh, you could see, I mean look at it,
it's just a little monkey!
That's actually the Blender monkey.
- Yeah.
- That's like classic,
throw this thing in.
- Whenever you see this online, any video,
they're doing kind of a hey, it was made in Blender.
- There it is.
So you go from
a very stretched monkey.
I guess, you can see it.
Now once you've seen the monkey,
you'll almost see it here,
but look at that.
There he is.
(makes sound)
I got one, I think that this one's easy,
but it's because I've seen it now.
I want you guys to see what
this one is. - This one, yeah.
And,
so now I'm gonna put this
in there.
There it is.
- That's a peace sign.
- Well that's not a peace sign.
- Well, yeah.
Three, three?
- I don't know what this is, it's a claw,
but maybe, this is a peace sign.
- Yes.
- Is this a peace sign in South Korea?
- No.
It's peace plus one, I guess,
additional peace. (laughs)
So, this one's a fun one,
people usually think it's like a bird,
or a jet, like an airplane.
- It kinda looked like a guy that was like, oh!
- Like that's the head right there.
- Yeah, yeah.
That's so cool.
All right, one from your side.
- Okay.
This is another one of my favorites.
50% of the people get it,
so let's see if you guys are one of them.
So here, here's the reveal.
- Okay, here's the reveal.
That's sick!
- Right?
- It looks like a white blob,
but somehow, it's picking up the shadow details in here,
but not when you're looking at it,
it's so trippy, this is such a cool one.
So one last time there.
And down here.
- Perfect for Halloween.
- I'll do one over here.
So, I've got this one
and the first time you showed me this one,
I was like, I know exactly what that is.
And if you guys think you know--
- Yeah.
- You may have guessed the same thing.
I said a rat
cause of this thing, it looked like a tail,
but when you put it in,
that's clearly a little cat.
- Yeah.
- It's Prince Michael.
- It is, Prince Michael from the books.
- Was it actually Prince Michael, the model from the books?
- Yes. - Oh, that's so cool.
So you modeled this one.
- Yes.
So this is purely in the studio.
- It's so weird,
like some reason the longness of it,
the length looks like a mouse or a rat.
- Yep.
Cause of the color too.
- That's very cool.
All right, one from your side.
- Okay.
So, this is a well-known illusion
that we've shown in some of our videos before.
So, let's see if you guys could get it.
This is known to be impossible,
that's a hint there.
Okay, so here we go.
- That is the Penrose triangle,
it's called the impossible triangle, in other terms,
and we have made,
we did it out of Rubiks Cubes at one point,
we did it out of Legos.
I would like to switch things up a little bit.
So let me know if you guys figure out
what this is.
It actually looks like a horseshoe in the reflection.
- It does.
- But if you turn it around,
it says Zach.
- Zach, yeah.
- That would be me.
We're now selling this in the merch store
as well as this shirt...
No, I'm just kidding.
But that'd be kinda cool
that if we could send those out somehow.
Or like, maybe upload it so people can print them.
- Yeah.
They just need a cylindrical surface,
they just don't know how to make that.
- Oh, well we should talk about that.
It's over there.
- This was actually the test item I was using,
if you guys could see it.
The only issue with this
was that it's very fuzzy,
so if you were to put an object--
- Oh yeah, it's barely showing up.
You tried the mug as well?
- Well. (laughs)
I mean you could start to see it.
- You could see it,
but we were at one point even testing these chairs,
and we actually had a big success with this.
We didn't wanna have a whole video
with the chair on the table,
so the solution that you found online
was actually genius, what is this stuff?
- Yeah, so these are called flexible mirrors.
- You guys can see yourselves here, boom.
- It's so cool.
- Whoa.
All right, let's continue with these.
You've got one more here.
- Yeah.
- And then we actually,
he's got some surprise ones that I've never seen.
- Here's another one, okay.
So, that--
- This thing has a funky shape.
- It is.
It looks like a mushroom maybe
or maybe like a little tree.
- And I'm bummed the first time you showed me
I didn't get exactly what it was.
- Yeah?
Yeah, so this is--
- King, it's so obvious!
You wanna reveal it?
- Yeah, let's reveal it.
So, any Zach King fans--
- If you're a fan,
you should've been able to pick that up.
- Yeah, there we go.
- It was actually rolled in the intro in front of you,
we wanted to see if that would give you a hint,
he's been wearing it this entire time,
so that's actually a cool reference though,
cause it's inverted and that's essentially what
it looks like there.
So, when you get it down here.
- There you go.
- Boom.
Z's cool.
- That's our logo. - Sweet.
This one is what should be in the merch shop.
A smaller one, a smaller version.
So, Keejon has four different sculptures
that I've never seen,
you wanna pull them up?
- Yeah, for sure.
Here we go.
- Do you think I'm gonna guess them all?
- You might get three of them,
they're very easy, except for one
that's a little bit tricky.
Let's see if you could guess--
- Oh, that's so easy.
I literally was watching a movie
and I saw the trailer for this yesterday.
So, this one is--
- It's a little--
- I've got it.
- Yeah, what is it?
- I mean, it's Pikachu
in the new movie, it's like Detective Pikachu.
- Yeah.
- I mean, it's so much more defined in the mirror,
that's awesome.
- For sure.
So it's a little winking Pikachu.
- Aw, that's so cute.
- That's very adorable.
- What do you think that is?
- Oh.
Well, I'm gonna see if everyone can get this.
- Okay.
- Let us know if you can get what this is.
- It's fairly easy.
- Yeah, it is easy, it's a car.
- It's a car,
but when you see the reveal though,
it's like whoa.
- Oh whoa,
that is, so that's not the angle of the car that I saw
at all though.
- Yeah.
You don't know what to expect
until you actually see the solution.
- It looks totally profiled,
but that's like a front view.
That's trippy.
- Yeah.
- Oh yeah, I can kind of see it there now.
- Yeah.
- All right, what else you got?
- Okay.
Can you guess what that is?
- I have no idea what that is.
- Really?
Oh, that's good.
So, let's see if the audience could get it.
- Oh, I see it.
I actually get it now.
That was on a different lens,
I get it cause, well, lens, yeah.
- Yeah, yeah.
- It's a camera.
- Yeah, it's a camera.
- I was thinking Star Wars for a second,
I was like is it a messed up Darth Vader?
- This is by far my favorite.
- I mean, I think I know what it is,
but I'm confused.
Like it's not iconic,
is it iconic?
It looks like a factory.
- Like that's the smoke.
- Yeah, yeah, that looks like a factory to me.
- Oh, okay.
I could see that.
- Or it looks like a cake with a birthday candle.
I'm not sure.
Is that what it is?
- People think it's like a torch
when they first see it.
Yeah, so if you turn this around,
let's see if you could see it.
- Oh, I see it.
- Do you see it?
- Yep.
Does anyone else see it?
Right here.
Thor's hammer?
- Yes.
You've seen it in the movies.
- I'm glad you didn't paint this brown,
cause that would've been obvious.
- Yes, I was kinda thinking about that, but no.
- That's trippy.
- Yeah.
- So that's all the illusions we got here for you today,
I wanna give a huge thanks to Keejon for making these.
Give him a thumbs up down in the comments.
And also, don't forget to let us know how you did
on guessing all of these
if you got them right
or you got a couple wrong,
let us know which ones.
And if you give us a little like on this video,
that'll actually signal to us
that you enjoyed it,
and we may actually make a part two.
He's got a bunch of ideas.
- Yeah, I have a lot of ideas.
- Different kind of mirrors,
not gonna give too much away.
50,000 likes and Keejon gets a free lunch.
- Cool, all right. (laughs)
Let's get me a free lunch, guys.
- Cut to him at Ruth's Chris.
Like downing a nice meal.
- Steak.
- I can't say where.
And if you're curious to make some of these yourself
and you wanna see
how Keejon made them,
we're gonna show you that right now.
But first,
other videos here, subscribe right here.
All right.
- So here we have a 3D software called Blender.
We've built a reflective mirror
inside the ceiling,
and then we load in an object
that we would like to make anamorphic,
and then Blender has these things
called modifiers,
and we can use one of them
to basically deform the objects
so that it looks correct
in the cylindrical reflection.
