Modeling and Rendering Escher-Like Impossible Scenes

Inspired by the drawings of “impossible” objects by artists such as M.C. Escher, we describe a mathematical theory which captures some of the underlying principles of their work. Using this theory, we show how impossible three‐dimensional scenes may be modeled and rendered synthetically.
