Then you are as fucked up as he is. You can't project on a cross section. Duh

And if it was neither a sphere nor a cylinder, but a shape designed to catch shadows in a very specific way, you get a different result.

"Projected image is not shadows, it's an image.

The other two work as well. The sculptures are not cylinders, the circles indicate "insert sculpture here".

Where the fuck does it say insert sculpture here?
1st diagram ~ In order to get the shadow of profile A alone, profile B has to be smaller. If Profile B is smaller, then you can't see it from "viewer".
2nd diagram has an order of magnitude more errors.

But, I tell you what, you build it and put it up on YouTube and I'll admit I'm wrong.
