Today in class I came up with more ideas for a shadow box.  I am going to do one the is triangles that go down in a circle.  Here is a rough draft.

More ideas for mountains

Here is another photo of an idea for a mountain it is more abstract and has a lot of sharp angles.

Ideas for mountain shadow box

Here are two different versions that I can do for mountains.  One has a valley with a waterfall and the other is just a mountain range with foothills.  The layers are numbered on the first one and the colors are the same for the layers on the second one.

I am changing my final project to making three to five different shadow boxes.  Shadow boxes are a way to take a picture that has a lot of depth and laser cut it so that it is physical and has different layers that go back.  I will be doing one of a cave with the light at the center.  Then I will do one of mountains where there is a dark blue light towards the bottom like a water fall.  It will have cool white lights at the top like a skyline.  Then I will do one of a forest with a circle light like the moon and smaller lights like the stars.  This one will also have a lake. I am trying to decide weather I want the lake to light up or not.

Today in class I used the cloth feature in Maya to make it seem like a table cloth was being pulled out from under some plates and cups.  Then I also cut the pieces out for my laser cutting project.  The project is finally set up to laser cut.  Here are some pictures of the tablecloth being pulled out from underneath the cups and plates.

Today in class I finished up my project for laser cutting.  I had the teacher check it and it was ready for laser cutting.  I will cut it today during lunch and my third period so I can start assembling it over the weekend.  I was able to figure it out by my self.

Today in class I tried to figure out how to cut a photo in photo shop and put it into illustrator to laser cut it.  This is difficult as I don't know what I am doing.
