Also, some people who make their own booknooks have appeared, and various works have been released on Reddit.

For example, the image below is a self-made Booknook published by Poullafouca. It is a diorama behind the alley, reminiscent of the stage of cyberpunk work.

Here's what made a dim bookshelf between bookshelves. According to the author, muad_did, this work was produced by resin output using a 3D printer.

BeardGlass's work is Booknook, which looks like a spellbook shop is being set up in a bookshelf. In the upper row you can see the window inside the shop, and in the lower row you can see the door which is the entrance of the shop.

In addition, 3DCG modeler Konstantin Borisov has created 3DCG data of fantasy-like back alleys reminiscent of medieval Europe and released it as open source.

And Booknook created by Rick_Proza based on this data of Borisov is this.

Booknook scene of the forest planet Endor, which is the stage of “

Star Wars Episode 6: Return of the Jedi ”. In Booknook, an infinitely wide spread is created by attaching a mirror to the back, but this Booknook created by macsdhart is simply printing and pasting the scenery of the forest, it seems that no mirror is used.

Similarly, from the Star Wars series, Booknook, which imitates the corridor of the space fortress Death Star, is a mechanism that Darth Vader figures appear in red light when turning on the light.

You can see how Coldsnap500 creates Booknook using the diorama board of the miniature analog game '

Warhammer 40,000 ' by looking at the following movie. Since it is a diorama board originally made for games, it has a simple structure with only painting and pasting inside the box, lighting and mirrors, but it is very elaborate.
