[supervike]

Some very, very cool artistic vision here...

The man paints himself to look \'invisible\'

Here are some of the cooler ones:

Last one I really like...

That is very cool, indeed!

 

[Trevor]

er... is he in the last pic?

Cool stuff.

I saw these on another forum. Freaking awesome.

I wonder what his process is? That has to be painstakingly tedious!

Sometimes I wonder about the amount of time that really talented artists have on their hands.

Then I remember what I do for fun, and figure its best to just shut up.

Cracking stuff. There was a British art student who did something similar with a car earlier in the year:

As for process, I\'d take a photo of the scene then line up a projection of the photo over the actual scene and trace the projection on to myself. Not particularly difficult, just time-consuming.

Kewl, good preview of how thermoptic camouflage will work

Colour matching could actually be better though. It\'s possible to get exact matches in paint if you need them.

I\'d definitely start with a photo but I don\'t know if projecting would work outdoors (in daylight)?

he wouldn\'t need to project outdoors, in the daylight. he could project it over himself, go into a darkish room and copy with paint. then go outside and move till he\'s in the right place

Dammit, where the hell is he in the last one, or are you just yanking my chain SV?

 

[freakinacage]

chain yanking

 

[ScottRadom]

That\'s super cool. I could beat him in a fight though, as I would cover myself in cool mud blocking his heat vision, then we\'d be on equal terms.

All sorts of ways around this. Project at dawn/dusk, set up a tent, use a high-power projector, boost the contrast or outline the image in Photoshop.....

It\'s been done many times before. I think this is one of my favourites:

because of the nekkid lady?

Even invisible boobies are completely fascinating.
