    it moves when you are not looking at it; it stops when you look at it (you know like one of those disney cartoon in the 60, 70's)

    Can anyone tell me if this is right? The affect, i think, is caused by your eye's lens redjusting to the part of the picture your looking at, and this causes the affect of it moving.

    Nah, there is just a small, illusionary goblin making them move when you aren't watching. :p

    Pretty odd though; would be interesting to hear how psychologists could explain that. :D

    First one I've used in a project before.

    Second one. ROFL! I wasn't watching it properly though. Stuff like that doesn't scare me much. :thumb: other stuff though...

    Have been thinking, something similiar with Dalveen's. It's about focus (not martial art star war style, just biological focus). When we pay attention to a spot, we lose our focus on other parts. Of course those part will become blur. The colors also played a part to make it looks moving or changing.

    Noir's next post contains a site with the illusion 'explained' . Apparently it isn't witchcraft, and I was a bit hasty when I ducked my monitor in the bathwater to see if it sank like a Christian comp or floated like a demon infested window on the underworld. Ahh well, you live and learn.
