Hi All,
This image includes the idea of the impossible triangle or tri-bar, which was created by
Robert Penrose and his father.
Each right angle is completely normal, but they have been joined in an impossible way to
create a triangle who's angle's add up to 270 degrees.
The triangle appears three times in the picture. As one examines the building, it seems
realistic, however, when it is examined as a whole, one can see the paradox.
Create it in 3D, using a "real 3D enviroment" wasn't easy...
So, once this competition is to create something impossible, realy impossible, there's...
I hope you enjoy.
BR,
Pedro Jafet

PS1: Made w/ Lightwave 9.3.1 and Photoshop.

PS2: It's not an Escher model, like many people think...
