Lighthouse shadow box

Lighthouse shadow box

The view is depicted as if viewed through binocular lenses, looking out into the sea. A lighthouse is standing in the rolling blue waves with seagulls soaring freely in the soft blue sky in the distance.

This is made by the newly released tool ShadowBoxMaker by MakerLab. It is an awesome tool. Took some time to figure out how it works, and then it just unleashed my creativity. 

I made this shadow box from the following picture. I think the key idea to create a successful shadowbox is to use an image that are already depicted in clear depth layers, so that what left for us to do is just to follow the seperation lines. For the areas covered by the top layers, I also tried to make it up so that each single layer makes sense in case of its shape.

There are altogether eleven plates in the same order as the layers in the shadowbox front to end. In general the waves are blue and the mountains/stones are gray. In order to strengthen the sense of movement and depth, varying shades of blue and gray are appreciated. Since I don't have that many different blue filaments, I just add white or black underneath the same blue filament (Bambu PLA Basic - Cyan) in order to make it ligher or darker. You could do the same to the gray layers if you only have one gray filament. 

The lighthouse and sky layers require AMS but you could always make some minor changes to save it or just color them afterwards. 

Hope you enjoy my work! Feel free to leave any feedback below in the comments. Thanks!
