| Title |
From 3-D to 2-D: Shading and Chiaroscuro (2) |
| Description |
Gradations in color do not contribute to our perception of depth, so the circle on the left looks flat. The circle on the right is generated by a very low contrast luminance gradient, yet you probably see the illusory depth just fine because the Where system is very sensitive to luminance changes. |
