Totally nothing to do with the hemispheres - nonetheless, really frustrating that I can't seem to control which way I see her 'spinning' - that all happens behind the scenes in my head. ah!

It's not hard to flip her spin direction, just focus on the point of her toes and tell yourself that her toes are going from (left->right) or (right->left) and that'll change the way you interpret her spin.

That was a good tip. I spent the last 5 minutes making her change direction all the time. In the end I could make her switch almost every time by focussing on her down-foot for a while, just as you said, and then slowly blinking (eyes mostly closed) until I hit an animation phase that triggered the switch.

Nonetheless still interesting how hard it is to make her switch. Right now, only 30 seconds after I lost interest, I don't think I could repeat the trick without re-focussing for a few minutes first.
