PhaedrusZen 55 Posted November 3, 2015 Just learned how to create forced perspective decals. Had fun working with this one, although it was a bit of a challenge for me trying to figure out how to do what I wanted in Inkscape & SCALP 4. This is what it looks like when standing underneath; This is standing down the hallway about 15 feet; I'll definitely be looking into doing more projects like this. =) 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhaedrusZen 55 Posted November 4, 2015 I need to upload another pic of the (completely) finished product. You might notice on the close-up that there's a gap on the left side... Found out when I applied the decal that my walls aren't exactly square , so I could only make one side of the center portion of the decal touch at a time... it was either the ceiling joint or the wall joint. Luckily the design is a little rough by nature, so I was able to just cut a couple extra pieces of red vinyl and "patch" the gaps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cal 393 Posted November 4, 2015 That is pretty darn cool right there. I would like to know more about the technique. Did you find a how-to video or was it trial & error? btw - walls and ceilings are seldom square... Cal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted November 9, 2015 Huey Lewis once said "It's hip to be square" and the young uns in the crowd are now scratching their heads wondering about why it was only huey and didn't include Duey and Luey 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(all you need is the outline boxes, not the crosshairs in the middle.) http://www.instructables.com/id/Wall-Illusion-Easy-Forced-Perspective-Wall-Art-/?ALLSTEPS I used Inkscape and SCALP 4.
