Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler R. Brain vs. L. Brain (assumes a brain is present)

Focusing on risk taker worked for me to make her go counter.

I can only see clockwise. There are too many visual cues pointing to that direction for my brain to see it any other way. I've tried looking off to the side, closing one eye or the other, etc. Just clockwise.

Keep looking. It's so cool when she starts turning the other way. We all thought my son was pulling our leg.

hmmmmm...

If I imagine I am laying under the ground and staring at the bottom of her feet she would be turning clockwise. If I imagine I am in the sky staring down at the top of her head she turns counter-clockwise.

If I just look at it the way it is- she is just turning so her foot comes out of the monitor on the left side, swings around and goes back into the monitor on the right side.. if that makes any sense... not sure if that would be clockwise or counter clockwise.

To me, in order to classify the rotation as clockwise or counterclockwise I need to be looking down an axis that parallel's her spine, maybe I am just weird

just ain't happening.

I tried it at home, and I CAN see her spin both ways. I actually say her spinning counter-clockwise right off the bat. I was then able to switch back and forth pretty easily. The difference? My work laptop is a piece of junk performance wise, and my home PC is somewhat of a screamer. So the animation was a lot smoother and faster at home. Much easier to see both ways. YIPPY!

Part of the trick is when you start looking at the picture. If you start with the outstretched leg on the right, she's gonna go counterclockwise. On the left, clockwise. It's a false dichotomy and I'm pretty sure it's an invalid test.

I had a very hard time getting her to go clockwise, was counter-clockwise from the start. I managed to do it by closing my eyes and visualizing clockwise, then opened my eyes and she was clockwise.

Very odd when turning CC it looks like her left leg is crossing the right and left shoulder is leaning/leading into the spin just the oposite when clockwise, but I am still having a hard time getting it back to clockwise.

I was able to see here both ways right from the start.

freaky stuff! I actually got clockwise right off the hop and it took me about a minute to catch her going counter-clockwise...i caught it just as i was glancing left to read the writeup. Once I saw her flip the first time it almost seems easy (though still not able to accomplish it by focusing directly on her).

I found the article just below to be more englightening however.
