$\"Gravatar\"$ Hey, that's neat $\"\"$ I've seen this done in an old raytracer where you basically force the renderer to use a different Z value for a given surface; it did require it to always trace all surfaces, instead of stopping on the first hit (presuming opaque), of course.

Other methods are compositing in post; that way even shadows and reflections can be fooled and the 'impossible' object will be impossible in all three.

$\"Gravatar\"$ What's funny is that I'm more impressed by the top image. I'm used to trickery in renders, not in viewports. $\"\"$

$\"Gravatar\"$ well as I understand it, given that just camera rays are fooled here, it's actually modeled to be this way. Essentially you could take a proper cube lattice, give it enough vertices, and then move the 'behind' vertices in front while keeping them at the same X, Y location in the viewing plane. If rotated, I think you'd see some bendy geometry - but that's just my guess $\"\"$

$\"Gravatar\"$ What? No depth of field?

$\"Gravatar\"$ My first thought was that I wanted to see it animated $\"\"$
