Hey y'all,

Just stumbled across this article, and it made me think "that would be a need way of painting optical camo!"

http://illusion.scene360.com/art/8454/the-mysterious-mirror-man-appears-in-l-a/

I've seen lots of optical camo schemes for Tau Stealth Suits that use the idea of each plane being a reflective surface, and I thought these pics could be a very good resource for anyone trying to figure out how the light & reflections might work.

Cheers,

If done right it might help make them Tau stealthsuits look even sleeker than they already do.

I use MOLOTOW for all my graffiti stuff, top flight paint. undercoat your manz first, though.

then you don't need to paint reflections.
