Heptagon Box illusion concept...

This is another concept I'm working on for a prop for Daz Studio/Poser, in Blender...

It is fairly simple idea.  The assistant is shoved into a very small box with 7 sides, with barely enough room to fit.  Her hands, feet and arms stick out of the box, as shown.  Then 7 v-shaped blades are shoved in, separating the box into 7 triangular partitions.  Then the partitions are "unrolled", 3 going to the left, and 3 to the right, with the sides the blades are on all pointing up -- separating the assistant into 7 triangular parts.

I didn't render it unrolled, since that would take too long... but I'll get around to it. 

The pictures on the bottom, with the box as a blue wireframe, show the assistant's position -- and how cramped the box is.  It is about 23" tall and a mere 16" deep.  Also, note where the top blade intersects her body -- her crotch is split right in two.  I didn't really plan on this aspect, but I like how it worked out.

I'll get around to modeling this completely at some point, after I am done with the Split-Box prop.  Basically, this idea popped in my head and I wanted to quickly model it before I forgot.

Incidentally, this idea of the unrolling illusion parts is loosely inspired by the 'RolyKit' unrolling storage box:
