Description

Optical illusion - Murray skull

See here an amazing example make from adam.fourney:

 

"Murray" looks like following you with his eyes and head. See in the Animation bellow (it takes some seconds to load). The whole thing is a pretty simple principle but looks impressive. The skull can be fixed on the wall like a picture or be placed somewhere on a Desk.
I made also a stand with the possibility to illuminate the skull directly by a LED, this amplifies the effect immensely.

Scale both models to the desired size and print easily (printing the skull upright will probably give the better results)

It didn’t quite work straight off the printer, but looks awesome after some post processing (shading the eyes, nose, teeth, etc):
