Very Clever, makes my head hurt when I think about the math though. Care to share the process?

[CountryWoodCrafts]

Simple really:

-Googled Optical Illusion
-Pulled it into Vcarve Pro with import bitmap for tracing
-Traced bitmap and created vectors.
-Vcarved with 90 degree vbit with no flat bottom
-Saved toolpath for the shark

Is that what you meant?

[GARYR6]

Yep,
And here i thought you were a retired math PHD who spent hours hung over your machine calculating angles and dimensions.
Don't you just love the software.......maybe they (vectric) spent hours hung over the machine calculating angles and dimensions. Lords knows it seems like MAGIC to me.

[CountryWoodCrafts]

The true magic is the CNC . . .there are a lot of optical illusions out there that seem pretty compatible with vcarvepro

I really like the Globe on Grid. I have tried to find THAT one on the web- no luck!
Would you care to share??
Thanks

Thanks for the JPEG CWC.
I couldn't resist trying this design as an inlay project.
I also squished it a little to fit it into a "golden rectangle".
I'll crank out a few for Christmas presents.
