Section-Slice Stack

Style guide

Regular parallel resin slices change cross-section layer by layer, using visible air gaps and dark sidewalls to create dimensional stacking.

The visual language

What is Section-Slice Stack?

Parallel thin plates stack at regular spacing, their changing sections rebuilding the whole. Air gaps, dark sidewalls and colored top faces establish thickness so slices actually constitute the form.

Section stacks approximate volume through gradually changing profiles.

A pear built from small, then wider, then narrowing discs can resemble a set of three-dimensional contour slices.

How the style changes different subjects

Portrait
Thick units or parallel slices divide face and body with pronounced interlayer shadows.
Landscape
Stacked levels give scenery visible sidewalls, gaps and thickness.
Objects
Blocks or successive sections rebuild curved objects with joints as volume cues.
Subjects
Choose sculptures, terrain, geometric architecture or rounded objects with readable overall silhouettes.

Reusable style prompt for Section-Slice Stack

Rebuild every volume from regularly spaced, parallel horizontal solid slices. Thin, precisely machined resin plates retain air gaps, their contours changing from layer to layer to reconstruct the original forms. Use finer, denser layers for detail and clearly visible broad sections elsewhere. Color the upper faces according to the original palette. Dark gaps and exposed sidewalls establish depth, making the separated plates themselves form a complete sculpture.

Use the same style prompt for portraits, landscapes and objects.
