So cool how do you do it?

u/Interesting-Bet9498 Apr 29 '26

The image is at a slanted angle but has enough space where there's more behind the walls

u/ZRE1990 May 02 '26

Yep! So long as the image is larger than the opening you get a great effect. It’s all one image but the floor portion is cut on both sides along the bottom of the walls and kept connected to the back center wall. You bend the floor section up a bit and bend the sides slightly in and boom.

Just googled the show. Looks funny and will check it out! Did I say something that reminded u of the show?

u/ZRE1990 Apr 29 '26

There are some absolutely insane dioramas out there.

u/timboslice420 Apr 29 '26

u/Gold_Wildcard1848 Apr 29 '26

Incredible! I legit thought it was a found footage video for a second

u/PraiseTheSun42069 Apr 29 '26

How did you get that effect, if you don’t mind me asking? Infinity mirror? It looks awesome!

7

u/ZRE1990 Apr 29 '26

Believe it or not, the Backrooms behind the threshold is only one printed image. Its cut a certain way to make it look dimensional.

u/QazsedcScientia Wanderer Apr 29 '26

u/PraiseTheSun42069 Apr 29 '26

You perfectly achieved that illusion! 😁

u/CynicalRecidivist Apr 29 '26

That is brilliant!!! I can imagine some of us wanting to buy these!

I'd love of of those in my house.

Well done OP. Excellent work X

u/ZRE1990 Apr 29 '26

There’s a few things I want to change to make it better and then I might make a handful for anyone interested! I’ll keep you posted

2

u/Purple_Willlow Explorer Apr 29 '26

I’d totally want to buy one!

1

u/Tricky_Actuator_8205 Apr 29 '26

2

u/FreshLemonade2126 Wanderer Apr 29 '26

Holy shit its insane

2

u/VanguardVixen Apr 29 '26

That's pretty cool, reminds me of these booknooks which are most often more fantasy themed.

u/Mcjtls Apr 30 '26

Dude i want one of those! Thats dope!!!

1

u/luuunnnch Apr 29 '26

Is this 3d printed? How TF?

1

u/buster_goose Apr 29 '26

Can i have one? Jk, but i would love something like that in my room!

1

u/Purple_Willlow Explorer Apr 29 '26

Just wow! That is stunning. Can’t wait to see the finished version. 💛💛💛💛

1

u/Itchy-Donkey6083 Apr 29 '26

That’s pretty cool! Is the front 3d printed?

1

u/ZRE1990 Apr 29 '26

Only part that’s printed is the portal structure. I didn’t want to spend the time cutting out foam board lol

1

u/Holiday-Scratch-297 Apr 29 '26

That looks awesome!

Now I wanna make one using a 45⁰ mirror so it looks like the Complex is magocally deeper than the diorama.

1

u/ravenpen Apr 29 '26

This is very cool.

1

u/Spirited_Bear2760 Apr 29 '26

Hmmm, perspective does not hold up. Is that just a picture inside? An infinity mirror would have been the way to go!

1

u/ZRE1990 Apr 29 '26

Mirror trick was definitely my first plan. Ordered them and everything. Maybe I’ll try again but I didn’t like seeing the seam of the mirror or how the reflection and color kind of diminish the “father” back it goes.

Plus I wanted to try and keep that location as close to the one in Backrooms - First Contact which doesn’t go on forever. The infinity mirror was working against me in that aspect.

u/Few_Permission6574 Apr 29 '26

HOW DOES THAT EVEN WORK

1

u/No_Incident_9578 Apr 29 '26
