How to Build a Mines of Moria Infinity Box Book Nook

  • Опубликовано: 18 авг 2024
  • I've wanted to use mirrors to make an infinity box for a while, and I figured what would make for a better setting than the Great Hall from the Mines of Moria (aka Dwarrowdelf)? It's the smallest book nook I've made, with the fewest 'components', but I think it might be the best one yet, if I don't say so myself (and I do).

    If I were to do it again I would definitely find myself some fancier mirrors though, as these cheapo's from Ebay are a bit too funhouse wonky for me, but I still think it turned out great!

    Neat! In order to conceal the “gap” in the center of the pillar that can ruin the illusion, try using a FIRST SURFACE mirror. So named because the reflective layer is on the FRONT surface rather than on the back. The “gap” appears as 2x the thickness of the mirror due to the silvering being on the back. When the silvering is on the front, there is no thickness to reflect through so there’s no visual gap. Nice work!

      I’m a little confused, how does this work exactly ?

    • @HMFan2010
      @HMFan2010 8 месяцев назад

      @@GoofBall-bu1hv When you position two mirrors face-to-face, you get a repeating reflection of a reflection called an “infinity mirror” effect. Unless your viewpoint is actually in between the mirrors, you won’t see too much of the “infinity.” However, if one mirror is a half-silvered (aka a one-way mirror which is reflective on one side but non-reflective on the other) you can position the mirrors face-to-face, look through the BACK of the half-silvered mirror and see the “infinity tunnel.” Since most mirrors are silvered on the BACK, any item touching the front surface will be reflected but you will also see a gap between the object and its reflection which is twice the thickness of the glass. If the mirror is silvered on the FRONT (aka first surface) any object touching the front will show NO GAP between the object and its reflection. Look up “infinity mirror how to” if you want to find out more.

    You inspired me with your Skyrim booknook to start building miniature stuff as well (stirsticks galore), since you made it seem so simple (as in, you can just start with a few basic tools), so I've been building tiny furniture for the past week and absolutely loving it. Can't wait to slowly build up my arsenal of tools and materials and start taking on bigger projects. I finally have a hobby. That's new.
