Holographic Images You Can Print!

[@OSuKaRuTV1]

Please do. I was wondering for ages to do this.

[@bronsoltania]

PLEASE strongly consider making a tutorial! I've been super curious about this but I knew developing the method would be a huge time investment. Even if you crudely covered the basics it could save others SO much time. Even if you don't though.. This was super rad man. Well done!

[@jdal21]

the more images u put the more blurry it gets, you need a sheet with higher LPI to get a crisp image, you dont get blur in 2 images since the sheet itself forces you to shift your view, however the more images you cram in there the darker the images also appear even though they arent, if you want to get high quality looking results, raise the brightness of your images, avoid small details, form over detail is what gives great results with these

[@sam-beige]

Yeah I would love to try an experiment with even higher LPI at some point! I was surprised by how much detail was still visible in the desk scene, but I totally agree that the simpler images like the car work way better :D

[@gtm604]

My favorite was the bullet shattering the glass tbh. I liked the concept while a bit "rough" the movement and rewind time functionality aspect of it was cool. Also agree a bigger style poster would be amazing.

[@sam-beige]

Yeah I did like that one, I think it was just that the frames blended together a bit too much which kinda ruined the effect. But the time warp was really fun to play with and probably should have tried more of those!

[@Rosetintedwater]

​@@sam-beigeYou should put the Shrek one in Halloween. Would creep out a bunch

[@epicawesomesauceguy]

the cool thing about these is that because the image shown depends on the angle you're viewing it at, it provides two different images/viewing angles for each eye, resulting in full stereoscopic 3d and real perceived depth.

[@eclat4641]

I remember lots in the 90’s . Goosebumps cards, Manny things were .

[@VarunGupta3009]

I've always been super fascinated by 3D and Lenticular technologies, and this video combines the two. Amazing stuff!

[@dr.pedrol.hernandez6853]

Can’t wait for your next tutorial. You have described what I went through with lenticular printing. 4 printers , vertical/horizontal sheets, 4 x 6, 8 x 10, cant’ remember how many different lenticular lines, softwares, tutorials, youtubers, you name it. Money spent. And so many hours, one year, gave it up. Will give it another try with your help!

[@johnsensebe3153]

I thought of doing this years and years ago, even looking up sources for the lenticular sheets, but I quickly realized how tricky it would be and moved on. It's cool that someone actually saw it through.

[@RichardBousquet]

You can use Photoshop as well, using masks to create the interlaced images. I came across this video because I'm working on my own lenticular prints, not with 12 images, just 3 for now. I think the car example turned out really great. In my mind, lenticular images give a 2d image just a little bit of depth, but the idea of even more depth never crossed my mind....

[@lukinator2077]

Hey man! If you still remember how you did after 8 months lol, would you mind sharing your calculations for using 3 images in photoshop ? I still have no idea on how you can possibly do in ps. I'm a student and trying to do a cool but budget project with lenticular sheets!

[@RikMaxSpeed]

You can also take 3D shots using your camera, you just need to slide it horizontally. You can also create hyper perspective by taking photos of distant mountains, for example, from several viewpoints that might be spread out over 10m or more.

[@iamsushi1056]

Is there a tutorial for that?

[@chaos.corner]

@@iamsushi1056 It's pretty much just as he says. Ideally you want to move the camera by the distance between your eyes but I found just taking a step to the right good enough.

[@RikMaxSpeed]

@@iamsushi1056 I’d suggest starting making red/cyan 3D photos in Photoshop, it’s very easy to blend the layers, switching off the relevant colour channels, to get instant results. You have to be a little careful in aligning the two shots, they obviously need to be perfectly horizontal, but it’s also helpful if they’re both converging on the same subject, especially if it’s close (your eyes naturally converge).

[@AlphabetAnims]

Giving one of these for a small birthday gift would be the best gift ever because they could just keep it on their desk and get mesmerised by the animation like movement of the picture

[@HTEGB]

the ammount of effort you put into this is crazy! this so awesome! hope to see more like this in the future!

[@Enderbrick]

The ideas for these videos are so unique, underrated, original, and entertaining! I would say that the more use of cut scenes in your videos like going from you talking to what your talking about, maybe camera movements maybe different backgrounds like recording on your porch and then cutting the audio, but lots of transitions in videos keep the audience engaged, I can see that in every one of your videos you have been getting better and better at editing! Great job!!

[@sam-beige]

Thank you so much!! Yeah definitely trying to improve with each video and those are all great ideas for improving it even more!

[@tahunuva4254]

Not to rain on this guy's parade, but I saw fully animated versions of these in stores over ten years ago. There was a horse galloping, and a penguin doing.. Something.

[@Daniel_VolumeDown]

@@tahunuva4254 what do you mean by fully animated? when you were looking from side to side it was animating or there was some sort of video playing that you were able to look at from different angles?

[@tahunuva4254]

@@Daniel_VolumeDown The former. It was pretty smooth too, if memory serves correctly, around 10-ish frames in total. This was in Europe tho, so they might not have been produced in the US

[@brettcameratraveler]

Yeah using more than 2 images for a 3D effect is not new. It's one of the standard variations when you Google lenticular prints over the decades. There are some youtubers like Michael Brown are dedicated to teaching lenticulars (ready-made apps, special camera and printing techniques like this are covered)

That remind me of zebra holographics plates. This is astonishing that you managed to do it by yourself and frustrating from their part because they did something outragously interesting but nothing more in years ! For almost 10 years i was dreaming of '3d' posters doable with all in one solution from A to Z (including apps, sheats, lenticular stickers, or even personal printers specialized for that purpose).

It would be cool to match the angle of rotation in the 3D render image, with the angle that you have to look at the picture in real life, so it would really seem more realistic

[@ifgstop5630]

You can get the lens from an old laptop screen even if the screen is cracked that's just the LCD that screen cracked. That film is used to decrease and spread the light behind the LCD screen equally throughout the LCD. The only other difference could be the thickness that you're actually looking for.

[@lesimages3dclic]

Oh yeah, very nice experience, good work sir! I tried that several years ago and the maximum number of images I've been able to combine was 5. To do that, I placed a simple object I centered on a turn table, and I used a high-resolution camera with a very narrow view angle (300 mm lens) I took a few pictures with a little rotation difference between them. Then I created a tram to digitally independently slice every image to use in strips; each has a number, from 001 to the number of each lenticular section, so because I had 5 images by every lens. I then put all which has the same number on a colon under the lense. My printer was able to print up to 1200 DPI BTW. The alignment of the print under the lenticular sheets was not an easy task. It was so time-consuming, I only did 3 images. In the industrial plans who does that in large quantity, I think they have special tools for the alignment. Anyway, to me it was a challenge I have no intention to repeat it lol. It was fun at the end, but very frustration to figure out how to do those. So, I have total respect for your experiments, I know from firsthand experience how difficult it is.

[@ure_02]

Dude just keep on posting you are gonna blow up soon it's clear as day :)

[@Malaphor2501]

I have no idea if the technology would even work, but a lenticular display that you could change the images behind it would be trippy.

[@ThomasGrillo]

I messed around with this back in the 90s, and early 2000s. Lots of mistakes were made. Wrong sized lenticles, incorrect print resolutions, you name it. But it was still fun, I did manage to get one good image to line up. It is extremely tricky to get lenticular lens to align just right. LOL Thanks for sharing this.

[@AmbrosiaPoly-yolkEgg]

Something I'd try is distorting the camera perspective to better match the shape the print would take up at that angle from a viewer's perspective, since the perspective warping present when rotating the prints is a bit distracting, and distorting it in a way that counters the distortion could help.

[@VeniceInventors]

When time allows, I should be able to make some interlacing software, as I have a need for it too, and it would be a fun challenge. I just need to know what features are needed for it to be useful for lenticular applications. Blender supports rendering interlaced stereoscopic images, but that's only for the L/R perspectives as far as I know. (I use that feature when modeling by sending the 3D view to my stereoscopic monitor while using the 2D monitor for the main Blender window)

[@Brickcaster]

I bet imagemagick could do it with a simple script. It excels at these kinds of tasks.

[@chaos.corner]

@@BrickcasterI'm pretty sure that's what I used when I was playing with the lenticular stuff a while back. You could generate a mask by tiling one white and one black pixel and merge the pictures by adding. That's about all I remember about it but there's enough info in the imagemagick docs to get it done.

[@ZoeyR86]

you can do this with strip masking layers in photoshop. this trick is first squishing the photo by the number of vectors -1 /1 cutting it projecting it to a mask layer this can be setup as a plugin for as many angles as you want the blur is a focus shift problem from the lens design but adding a black frame at the start and end with drastically reduce the blur. i have a lenticular lens on a 8.7k 17in IPS display on a pi this only splits 1:4 and it use 1:2 to get a 3d effect

[@sujitchachad]

Great video. how did you find how many images you can put under each lenticule. is there a calculation for t? how did you figured that out?

[@sam-beige]

Thanks! Great question, so the calculation is your printer resolution divided by the lines per inch of the lenticular sheet. So for me it was 600/50=12. You can also do fewer images as long as they divide into that number evenly, so I could have done 6, 4, 3, or 2 images with my setup as well (but wouldn’t have achieved as much of a 3D look with these numbers). Hope that’s helpful and let me know if you have any other questions!

[@sujitchachad]

Thanks for the reply. I have never done the calculation as me lenticular software dose it for me and I just print that out. I do lenticular prints actually for clients on request but for 2d image to 3d so it has a completely different workflow of manually creating the depth and separating the layers. If you ever want to print a scene let me know. I have a short on my channel for my process.
