Hi, I'm Dave :^)
I've learned that Art is 5% inspiration and 95% perspiration! I started CGA as a hobby early 2004. This site is huge, so if you have seen any of my material, then thank you for taking the time.
BIO:I'm a widowed Electronics and Software design Engineer living in Southern California, about 60 miles east of Los Angeles.
My late wife Robin.. passed in 2003 after 31 wonderfully married years, the last 7 of which Robin was in poor health. I miss my Babe so much...
I'm working with Poser5, Bryce5.5, Wings3D, PSP-10 and CorelPaint8.My mother (Elnor) is also on this site as Silkylady. If you get a chance, please drop by her gallery and see her work.
Finally, remember these words of wisdom:
1) Don't sweat the petty stuff and don't pet the sweaty stuff.2) If your only tool is a hammer then all your problems will look like nails.3) It's amazing what can be accomplished when one doesn't know what one can't do.4) Very few know how much one must know in order to know how little one really knows.5) Give a man fire and you heat him for awhile. Set a man on fire and he is heated for life.6) Complexity is a set of things that we figured how to do right, one built on top of the other, until failure is achieved.7) Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.8) Marriage is a place where you can be wrong in ways you never thought possible.9) If a man speaks his mind in a forest and no woman hears him.. is he still wrong?10) If at first you don't succeed, then cover up all previous attempts that failed.
Please enjoy your visit! Dave :^)(AKA: 'davidoblad','DLO')

Well thanks heaps dave now I have a headache lmao:: It's cool and yes I see green is it envy?? hahahaha thanks for sharing now I will stop staring (smile)

Okay! Now I stared at the plus sign for nearly 10 min, every time I would add a dot it turned green.!! LOL! Actually, I see a trail of green dots. As the purple pass it is replaced by a green, and the green circle moves clockwise around the screen. The purple dots I see instead of pink could just be my monitor. oh wow! Now I finally see it..but the green still moves around the screen! Oh i'm so not all left brained! did you know that if you stare and squint your eyes, you see two circles? Love it !

The answer is unclear, because of differences of opinion about just what constitutes a distinctive color. As an example, colors can appear to change depending on lighting sources or reflective properties of a surface. Also, many complexities are involved with the way the human eye and brain work together to recreate a color image. The human eye's light sensitive cells (primarily, cones) absorb primary colors of red, green, and blue that manifest through different wave lengths of light. Mixtures of those primary colors then give us all the many hues and shades of colors. Millions of potential colors exist, although the human eye is unable to distinguish between all of them. Very cool Young Fella George!

Wow did I ever get a whole lot of learning in this one! Never knew any of those things about the eye or the brain. So thank you for the lesson. I've seen this same eye test before it just keeps comming around and was always tripped by it but now I at least understand the why of it now. Great one Dave! Thank you for the info.

Oh, Dave. That is a wiered pic. I first saw my fav color, then the green came in. I'm really proud of you and this lesson of the eyes. Didn't realize it worked that way. Neat education for a little dummy like your MOM. Love ya lots...Silkylady...

Actually, in one sense (pardon the pun) the eyes don't lie.. just sounded like a clever title.. heheheh. But your Brain most certainly does lie to you. Your vision is ALWAYS incomplete. The visual processing center at the back of your head fills in these empty gaps in information from whatever resources it can find, including your imagination. As far as colors are concerned, they really are arbitrary. Try explaining the color Green to a person that's been blind from birth.. you'll see what I mean. We can only see 3 colors: Red, Blue and Green. Other colors (Ie. Yellow) are simply made up Hues. For that matter, so is Red, Blue & Green. Visual information comes from the eyes as electrical signals. Electricity has "NO" color. We must mentally assign them a color to differentiate between them. For example, we would both agree that the Sky is Blue because that's what we learned. And everyone would agree that my shirt is blue because it's the color of the sky. But if I could see inside your mind, I might see that You have personally assigned what I would call Green, to the Sky, etc, etc.. Anyway, the above Illusion shows the mathematical vision processing that takes place in your brain. It's largely about persistence of vision. That's why when you look away from the illusion, you see Green dots (absence of Red). This post is in response to Paula Sanders article on the Rosity Front Page. Hugs from Dave :^)
