[@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

[@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.

[@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!

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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).

[@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.

[@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

[@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!!

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

[@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)

[@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.

[@TubeThony]

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). I liked your video a lot, thanks for that keen research and time spent on it !

[@HTEGB]

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

[@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.

Love this so much! I def wanna try and will be back here when I inevitably get stuck and have questions! I recently made my first lenticular art of my first dance with my wife. I used photoshop to line up two photos and then used the Walgreens service you referenced to print it for me and now I feel like the possibilities are endless!

[@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.

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.

[@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

Hi Sam, I would always avoid using the word 'holographic' when the technology is not holographic, but congrats on the results. 3D lenticulars are still (or again) very relevant! Interlacing may at first be a daunting task, but I managed to make it quite an easy task in Maxon's Cinema 4D. Now it only takes just a few, albeit intricate steps (that I devised myself) to interlace any number of images!

[@tihomirjolic2632]

Kudos for seeing this through Sam! I myself bought Lenticular foil almost year ago, tried it with printed images few times, failed and gave up. You motivated me now to try harder and make it work. Thank you for that, man. P.S. where did you get calibration sheet? That looks really usefull.

ProTip; if using an Epson/Seiko printer, figure out your higher resolution axis IDK to what level this applies to all Epsons but IIRC my Wide Format EcoTank has vastly higher resolution in one direction Vs the other but than again it's one of the ones sold to do professional quality photo prints with 6 photo grade ink tanks (7 if you count the Empty Tank used for quality calibrating & cleaning) TLDR; check your spec's as simply rotating prints 90⁰ may result in much finer prints on certain Epsons, or you could possibly do B&W prints on a toner printer since some commercial ones seem to have crazy detail sometimes

i live in an apartment with empty-ass walls and having one or a few big (A1-A2) 3D posters would be AWESOME.

Also it would be awesome to easily swap the images behind the lenticular lenses for diversifying the living environment.

Hi ! Thanks for this very useful video. Thought of something, could it be possible in any way to lenticular print on fabric and then create garments out of it ? Not on a logo or specific area but more like an all-over print/camouflage covering the entire piece ?

[@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.

I don’t think I’ve heard that suggested before! I’m not an expert at these so I’m not sure what would happen, but I assume at a certain point the lens might get distorted as you curve it. But if you had a big enough print and a wide diameter maybe it could work!? Interesting idea!

[@giuseppepapari8870]

Very nice! Can you add stereoscopy into the mix? i.e., the right eye sees something different from the left one to get depth? (unless it is already there)

[@c.g.vonhagenstein7576]

There is another method you might be interested in looking at for producing autostereoscopic images (of which lenticular stereo prints are but one type). I wish I could say it's less involved lol. It's called a parallax barrier. In principal it's similar to lenticular in that the intent is to have the left and right eye see separate images that simulate the different viewing angles/perspectives our eyes would be seeing if we were looking at the object or scene in real life. While lenticular lens sheets accomplish this by refracting or "steering" the separate images to our left and right eyes, a parallax barrier blocks one image or the other from being seen by either eye. Instead of the lenticular sheet, you have a transparency with many very thin, very closely packed vertical lines. If the transparency is thick enough there'll be some distance between the vertical lines and the lines of the image you overlay it on - the stereoscopic or other interlaced image is designed in pretty much the same way as for lenticular (with the same types of precision requirements of course). One disadvantage is that because the parallax barrier is actually blocking reflected light from the image beneath the image is much much darker. Typically, parralax barrier type images are displayed using a lightbox or similar backlit source (you can even experiment using a monitor as either a backlight with a solid white background OR perhaps more interestingly, to display the vertically self-illuminated interlaced image itself. The allows for displaying fully animated stereoscopic content etc. It's really challenging but super cool if you can pull it off. If you ever try and succeed it would make a great video wink wink nudge nudge. Cheers!

[@windowswhistler2000]

Stereoscopic is also what the 3DS uses

[@DarkH4X0]

I was playing with an old Nintendo 3DS, and basically the principle is the same as that 3D screen, so I started wondering if it could be theoretically possible to make any normal display 3d, just by attaching one of this. I guess it would be really difficult due to the fact that everyone has a different eyes distance and those lenticular sheet should probably be crafted in a very specific way, not to mention that you should create some sort of software/driver to display everything on screen sliced, with the possibility of calibrating it as well. However even just being able to create a smart picture frame out of one of those sheets would be really cool, but given that precision is important it should by a smart frame with very high resolution. I don't know haha, just giving some ideas for free, maybe someone will manage to accomplish something like this sooner or later

So you have the 3d effects by having it only on the X axes but what if you have round bumps all over the page to give the 3d effect not only from left to right but also from top to bottom?

Already dude went to 2k and ive been doing for 2-3 months and i onky got 13 subs lol , keep being amazing sam!

[@sam-beige]

Aw really appreciate it! Most of that growth was in the last month, so sometimes it just takes working at it for a while

[@SPIDGEY707]

@@sam-beige dont sweat it mate i enjoy your content and kinda try making my own

[@chatboss000]

Reminds me of this novelty lenticular ruler I own that's hiding somewhere - where it had like a bunch of mannequin figures doing little animation loops like unicycling, jumping jacks, etc.

[@AnkitGupta-qz4ds]

I love this project. 🎉 can u tell the whole process. 4:13, and behind the Seans.

[@sam-beige]

Yeah, I'll have to think about making a longer tutorial or something!

[@palpytine]

What LPI did you find worked best for the sheets? I'm going to take a bash at implementing the interpolation in Blender nodes

[@CXL253]

Your video is really fun! When Shrek appeared, I was drinking water and ended up with water all over my desk haha! Thank you! Thanks to your video inspiration, I want to use Blender to create my own card. Your car card looks really cool. I really want to create one myself. I sent you an email and used GPT to help me with the translation. I hope you can feel my love for your video! I wish your channel more and more success!!🤩🤩🤩

[@niro-nova]

OMG this is absolutely genius. I always wanted to make those harry potter cards ( the one with chocolate frogs) thank you for inspiring 💖

[@JorgeSilva-ot1hq]

Man congrats!! Can you teach or point how to create the interlacing image?? this is amazing... I have some 3d models on blender but i dont know how to print each "frame" separately and then do the interlace thing... Congrats again

[@sam-beige]

Yeah! I'll be honest, it's a bit difficult to pull off (my most difficult project to-date) but the best thing would probably be to reach out on instagram if you have specific questions about materials to get, software to use, etc. Alternatively I can also point you to a few resources I know of as good starting points

[@JorgeSilva-ot1hq]

@@sam-beige I see… thanks my man appreciate you!

[@mckamey]

This was the best demonstration of the possibilities of lenticular printing I've seen. Thanks for sharing! I'm curious what software do you use for the interlacing step? *Edit:* looks like you chose Grape 4.3 based on your screenshot at 2:24. Thanks!

[@sam-beige]

Thank you so much!! Yeah I used Grape which worked out great! Are you planning on making some?

[@mckamey]

@@sam-beige Yes! I'm going to first try with frames from video where the camera revolves around the subject (since my 3D skills are non-existent). Calibration is the first challenge.

[@sam-beige]

That sounds awesome! I'd love to check it out when you finish it if you post it anywhere! And yeah, the calibration was tricky to figure out, but let me know if you have any other questions :D

[@kylorde1608]

@@mckamey thank you for the information discussed, I'm trying to learn all I can first so that I could integrate a lenticular lense into another project of mine cause I believe it will add a beautiful layer of complexity to the result

[@rribeirog]

Hi guys. Wow, this video really got me inspired! Do you guys have the methodology written somewhere so people can refer to? My questions are more like, what are the specs of the printer? Most importantly, how did you end up on that spec. What were the procedures of testing? And finally any recommendations of place to buy at a good cost?

[@tenny810]

We have had this on our planner covers for school in the 90s

[@the_epic_rock]

Congrats on 1k subs!! This was such a cool project and looks really good. Cant wait to see what you do next!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 😄

[@primatademilho]

Bro, the Shrek and the car one in a poster would be just amazing!

[@A-guy34]

I have a book with one of those images which made a fully 3d looking image and it's pretty cool

[@Qballblack]

This is one of the most amazing projects I’ve ever seen.

[@sam-beige]

That's so nice of you to say!! :D

[@dogeth4021]

would it be possible to use this in a cylinder formation to make a 3d image you could walk around and see from different angles? used in tandem with a cylindrical LED display, and if possible, you could make some really cool things.

[@ThomasSturm]

Oh that's a very cool effect. I know it's possible to get "true" 3d effects with lenticular lenses if the viewing angle is close enough each eye ends up seeing a different image. I'm not sure if your images work out properly, but it's not impossible you're seeing actual depth on top of the illusion the motion gives.

[@sam-beige]

Yeah I've heard that too! I don't think I achieved that effect with these regardless of the viewing distance, but that would be cool to have both the rotating effect with the "true" 3d effect!

[@pop-upcardmaker]

Great video, I've subscribed. I love lenticular art, I don't really like flips but 3D images with depth is so interesting. I've tried to create some myself on my channel. This subject requires a lot of patience, I start some then give up but after a while I get excited and restart and the cycle repeats again 😂😂

[@sam-beige]

Thank so much!! Yeah they are really tough to figure out but that’s so cool that you’ve made some, I just saw the Liverpool one you made!! Love the cards you make as well 😄

[@pop-upcardmaker]

Thanks for the response and compliments. I am trying to achieve the effect you did with the car but it just doesn't work. I have given your video so many views 😂

[@yoyofargo]

You could interlace in the blender compositor itself. Node setup should be pretty straightforward.

[@chaos.corner]

Interesting. I bought some "3D" lenticular frames that you could insert your own prints into but the software seemed very limited, only allowing you to apply 3D effects to a 2D picture. As I have actual stereoscopic pictures, this wasn't very satisfactory (and I was unable to get the software in any case). I tried constructing my own but it was quite tricky and I never quite got it right.

[@ITHASYOUBRO]

Shrek got that bombastic side eye 😂

[@professordey]

I remember someone at some CEX stall or some such a few years ago demonstrate an entire digital display that was set up like this at a very high resolution so you could have fully lenticular video, it was just really hard to run for obvious reasons, lol.
