Mirror anamorphosis is a distorted projection that a viewer sees as a normal undeformed image when reflected [1].

This Demonstration deals with the artist's process: given a realistic 3D surface, make a new surface of the deformed, anamorphic image as reflected in the cylindrical mirror. The surfaces used are 3D mesh surfaces defined by the ExampleData type "Geometry3D".

3D cylindrical anamorphosis is a favorite technique of some graphic artists [2].
