Even more obviously, the squares in the front aren’t bigger than the squares in the back. It looks like each square has equal area even as their shapes change.
It’s fascinating how plausible it looks at a glance while being so glaringly wrong once you look at it more closely.
I've updated the article with the fixed projection transform! I had to make an animation as well just to validate it- I fooled myself!
Very nice! I wasn’t even sure that the approach could be fixed without major rethinking. Great job figuring that out.
The fixed rendering looks really nice. Good job!
