Relief: a raised picture. Lithophane: a panel that shows the picture when lit from behind. Outline: traces a drawing or logo into a flat shape (great for keychains). Reference: a see-through guide to build over.

Shape from views

Draw or photograph an object from the front and the side (and the top if you like) on a plain background. Block Party carves a solid that matches every outline.
