ABSTRACT:
Diorama made from a two-dimensional image having a background panel in which a background section of the image appears and a plurality of additional panels on which additional sections of the image appear. The additional panels extend forwardly from the background panel, with edges of adjacent ones of the panels coming together and the image flowing continuously between the panels. The two-dimensional image is transformed into a diorama by constructing a three-dimensional model of the diorama in the form of a plurality of panels on which different areas of the image will appear, converting the three-dimensional model to a two-dimensional layout guide with lines outlining the panels, using the layout guide as a template for adjusting the shape and size of selected areas of the two-dimensional image to match the guide lines on the layout guide, printing the adjusted image, trimming the printed image along facing edges of adjacent ones of the panels, and bringing the trimmed edges together to form a continuous three-dimensional image.
