I say the image is changing!!

When she is CW, her RIGHT arm is out higher

When she is CCW, her LEFT arm is out higher.

If our brain was reversing the direction, it would NOT reverse the picture as well!!!

When I saw this yesterday it was counter for a moment but when I turn away and look at it again its clockwise...

I just spoiled it for myself and open the file with image ready and the frame by frame animation shows her direction going clockwise. sorry if I spoiled it for everyone

If you grab the image at a different time, I bet she would be going CCW........

she's turning both ways. When she's spinning clock wise, her head is tilted towards the right. When she's turning counter-C, her head lean towards the left. It's just a timed gif...one direction for a while, and then the other. I don't see anything optically illusive...O.o

i thought the same thing, but you can make her appear to reverse direction if you imagine it as the extended foot reaches the edge of the frame. just imagine it turning back. you need to focus on the foot because it would require the model to "change legs". but if you can catch that in your eyes' blindspot, you wont notice that big change.


as for the personality BS of CW VS CCW, whatever.

It's weird, I see Clockwise about 99.9% of the time but the RIGHT SIDE description is pretty much 99.9% WRONG for me.
Same with me!

I finally got her to go counter-clockwise by tracing her foot
down from the right and forcing it to be towards the back
instead of the front. Then, she gets stuck going CC.
