Also tessellations might not be the best choice - I found those, plus the animation side, a really steep learning curve. Maybe instead take a look at our post on hollow faces, http://www.opticalillusion.net/optical-illusions/watchful-heads/. They're really fun to do, and there are instructions in that post. Like any illusion, you have to be prepared to tinker with them to get them to really fly. They actually work best as animations, but viewed as demos in real life across a small room they give an amazing effect. Don't miss the link in the post to a brilliant movie of a demo with a model dragon. Good luck!
