How it works

I modeled the four elements inside the box and created their textures using a process called baking in Blender. To create the effect,I converted the textures into three-fiber shaders that decides if we display the elements or not. This GLSL (close to C) language shaders lets you detect if one of the faces of the box is between camera and the textures. For each polygon of the model, we will therefore check through which side it is viewed so that we can display it or not. This way, you create an "impossible" effect where elements appear only when viewed from specific angles.
