This unique 3D-printable object is a perceptual puzzle and a tribute to three iconic figures of the silver screen. While it appears to be a complex, hollow cube, it hides a sophisticated optical illusion known as sculptural anamorphic projection.
The Triple-View Illusion
Unlike traditional dual-view models, this advanced structure incorporates three distinct viewing planes:
Viewpoint 1: From the primary angle, the silhouette of James Dean appears suspended within the cube.
Viewpoint 2: Rotating the cube 90 degrees horizontally reveals the silhouette of Marilyn Monroe.
Viewpoint 3: From the third orthogonal axis, a third portrait becomes visible - it's Elvis.
The Engineering
The object is constructed from an intricate, open 3D lattice. By meticulously varying the thickness, angle, and density of the internal grid bars, the structure selectively blocks or permits light. This allows three separate high-contrast portraits to coexist within the same physical volume without interfering with one another.
Software & Development
I developed this object using custom-built software designed to handle multi-axial anamorphic projections. Users can input three distinct images and specify the desired grid resolution; the software then automatically calculates the intersections and generates the final 3D STL file.
Update: I have successfully completed the software enhancement to support the third viewing plane. With the "Triple-View" logic now fully functional, I am preparing for a public release of the software soon.
