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 sections of the image will appear converting the three dimensional model to a two dimensional layout guide with guide lines outlining the panels superimposing the layout guide on the two dimensional image adjusting the shape and size of selected areas of the two dimensional image to match the guide lines and create the panels adjusting the areas of the image within the panels so that portions of objects appearing in adjoining panels are aligned with each other 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 application_number US 53948509 A description the diorama consists of a two dimensional image 11 which has been adjusted and configured for three dimensional display in a frame or container 12 the image can be of any desired subject and typically is a photographic image although it can also be a drawing painting or other form of image if.
