Greer Mon, 11 May 2009 00:52:32 +0000 http://songtaneous.com/blog/?p=531#comment-1110 Hey Nate, Well, we all spent a lot of time looking at this after you guys departed last night (I logged on and saw your comment). It looks like the video creators added the white lines to help you "see" the image rotate in the direction they stated. (B pointed out the lines to me. I didn't notice them -- what does that tell you about my brain? *smile*) Those white highlights are not in the original image (watch the first section of the video again). Can you make her spin either direction without the help of the guidelines? Nice to know you're reading (and good to see you this weekend!) P.S. B and I are both left-brained. W and P saw it counter-clockwise first (I think). Make H look at it and report back. (kidding, kind of) Hey Nate,

The dancer is pointing her leg, which is obviously going clockwise. When they reverse it--it's like they reversed the picture (notice you can see her butt-crack differently--I know it's rude, sorry). But she's always pointing her leg. If you think of her leg like the hand of clock, there is no way to "interpret" it. It is either going clockwise or its not. I don't think of myself as right-brained, but I can see. Weird. I don’t get it. The dancer is pointing her leg, which is obviously going clockwise.

Please visit my website: http://www.splinx.com and click on Braindance. Using the Poser model in Max, I created two versions of my animation, one spinning clockwise, the other spinning counterclockwise. By clicking on the green arrow, you can switch between the two animations and thereby physically change the native rotation of the animation. In addition, when the yellow arrow appears (on the left), you may click it to have a man join the spinning woman and hear some of my original music composed and recorded solely with Cakewalk. Now, it is possible - at least for some of us - to change the apparent rotation of the spinning animation by using the power of the mind. Click the red button to read more about it. Enjoy!
