3D modelling and rendering software is often demostrated using reflective surfaces and chessboard-pattern backgrounds (they look effective in distorted reflections rendered on cyllinders, cones or spheres). Those images are so familiar, now almost a synonim of ‘3D’…
And then I came across a real-life situation (chrome waste bin on a marble bathroom floor) that strikingly resembles that virtual reality. Except there’s nothing digital and it’s… real 🙂
