Step 3Mask out your basic shape.
I decided to use a good ole' basic circle object as my first to be 3D-anamorphicised. Yay basketball.
So the principle behind this whole optical illusion and the reason it only works from one perspective is because the elongation of the image from a distance compresses or collapses that image (like a scene might collapse when viewed with a telephoto lens). So this "circle" shape I masked out is actually a long oblong shape that viewed from my big beautiful blue X, appears circular.
->Test it out! It takes a minute- go mask out a circle and then stand a good 2-3 car lengths away and keep circling your circle (har-har) like prey (and try going closer or move farther away) until you SEE a perfect circle.
