ABSTRACT:
A process is disclosed for creating three-dimensional figures or forms starting from any flat surface image. The process includes the steps of selecting an illustration to be reproduced in three dimensions and then preparing an assistance plan for the assembly starting from the figures own, or cast, shadow. Thereafter, contour drawings are made of each piece, joining each point that defines a level, following the model's contour until arriving back at the point of departure. The design is then broken down by drawing each of the component pieces thereof individually and cataloging them and grouping them by material, texture and color; making the pieces obtained from the individual drawings, then grouping and cataloging by level each of the fabricated pieces. A base or theoretical point is space is determined over which the work will be assembled; marking at level zero, or the base, the position at which level one will be placed on the base. The assembly of the three-dimensional work is then commenced with the aid of the design so created, by joining corresponding pieces of level one to zero, those of level two to level one, etc., until arriving at the last level planned.
