Amazing 3D illusion!

Made on a Glowforge

If you haven’t seen Mike’s designs on Etsy 805LaserSpot - you need to.
I used his recommended settings on 1/4 Home Depot PureBond Maple.
NO masking and Mike’s exact settings given.

This was my first run for my wife to display in HER kitchen.

I will be doing many MORE of these.

NOTE: kinda long engrave times (about 1h:40m) - however creates no smoke and is worth the time.
As it started I was blown away at the lack of smoke or soot and how DETAILED it was… if you can’t tell I am EXCITED!

So glad I have found this EFFECT!

Mike - IF you see this… THANK YOU for making my wife think I am a GENIUS with the GlowForge.

I can’t believe how impressive that plaque is. The selections of the various patterns is amazing. Looks almost to good to be true.

I use SD Graphic for almost everything - it really is the most wonderful setting. I’m guessing that dropping it slightly helps with the lack of soot :slight_smile:

In your picture I thought it was actually 3D, that it’s a flat image makes it even more impressive. Mike seriously does great work!

That’s CRAZY COOL!!! I’ve been trying to figure out how the 3D. I haven’t clicked on the links you shared just yet, but do you mind sharing whether you started out with a regular photograph? I want to make some 3D Christmas ornaments of our two dogs we lost this last year but need to find a good method to do all of the tweaking. I’m a bit confused as to whether I need to make it in an .stl format and then back to a .png or what the actual process is from start to finish. Everything I’ve seen has been made from images pulled off of posted 3D models and then converted over to .png format.
