Lenticular Art: I create both my transforming and three-dimensional optical art using a self-developed lenticular printmaking process. Multiple photographic images are digitally screened into a pattern of vertically interlaced lines. The interlaced print is then bonded to a ribbed lenticular sheet by hand using a roller press. The art is produced in numbered editions and each piece is hand crafted by me in my home-based studio.
3D LENTICULAR PORTRAITS Using Just A Smartphone 🥴
I use a very quick and easy technique for capturing frames for 3D lenticular portraits. My phone records 4K video and the video frames can be used to produce fine quality lenticular prints. I place the phone on a slider mounted on a tripod and move the camera from right to left. Shooting at 30 frames per second gives me more frames than I need. After aligning the frame series on my daughter's eye, I cropped the frames to a square aspect ratio. In this example, I imported 60 of the frames into Lentigram software and made the interlaced file. I printed the file with an Epson Stylus Pro 4900 onto PictoricoPro Hi-Gloss White Film Plus. The finished printed was bonded to a 60LPI MicroLens sheet with a 26° viewing angle using Drytac Facemount adhesive.

Eye Tracking & Frame Alignment for 3D Lenticular Portraits
Переглядів 22714 днів тому
Photographic or video frame series for 3D lenticular portraits often consist of dozens or hundreds of frames. Large frames series can be quickly aligned using the tracking tool in Adobe After Effects. Photoshop can be used to crop the aligned frames and export them for interlacing.
How to change the focal plane of a 3D lenticular print.
Переглядів 2512 місяці тому
The focal plane, also known as the picture plane, in a 3D lenticular print, is visually situated at the surface of the print. In a 3D lenticular, certain elements of the image can appear to project forward from the surface, while others may seem to recede into the background beneath the print's surface. By aligning the frames to a common point, one can influence which elements appear forward or...

An excellent lenticular, superb clarity
woah amazing slider!
Bravo. You are our teacher.
thank you.
!!!RESOLVED!!! I learnt the files need to be labled with the individual numbers.
I cant seem to get it to recognise the image formats. It says: No sequence images in folder! Check images format. ive tried with both jpg and png. unsure how to get tif format.
This doesn't seem to actually work for still images or at least not for me. Tracker won't track the target point at all. Would be cool if you could show this working with still images.
Hello, my 50 LPI lenticular plate works, but when I try to do it on a 75 LPI plate, it does not work. Even if I do the same application, 75 LPI does not appear. I found the correct ratio on my field test paper, I write it down but when I remove it from the grape app it doesn't work. What could be the reason? It looks more fragmented.
The higher the LPI the more problems with ghosting and alignment. I'm a fan of 40LPI. Make sure your pitch test is accurate.
This is better than banana taped in the the wall that cost million dollars. Also great work👍, if i may suggest if you could make it 3 picture motion (left/middle/right) that would be cool.
I remember you using both methods, slider and rolling, when I posed for you. Thanks for explaining your great work
That was a fun project!
Make a short video clip tutorial on how to make Lenticuler photo 3Dmaster kit and how to choose a frame.
I'm not sure I understand what you are looking for. Perhaps ask your question a different way or with more detail. I do have this video: ua-cam.com/video/EgVr_I22JNc/v-deo.html
As usual great, thank You Michael.
Thank you.
Hello, I have a 75LPI lenticular plate, but I could not find its actual ratio. How can I find the real rate of this?
You need to do a pitch test. Download the trial version of 3DMasterKit and follow the instructions on their site.
@@MichaelBrownArtist Much obliged!
Your knowledge is amazing! Thank you for sharing!
So nice of you
Is the 3D Master Kit the best option for creating 3D lenticular prints?
It’s very good software for making 3D lenticulars. I haven’t test every program on the market and I don’t know what type of 3D prints you want to make (actually photography, modeling software, or conversions), so I don’t know what’s best for you.
@@MichaelBrownArtist I mainly do conversions, which means I need to use depth maps to generate frames.
@@GBREAL01 , I would recommend Triaxes 3DMasterKit. There is another program - Imagiam. It also uses depth maps, but I haven’t tried it.
thank you! you are the only one that adressed this conversion
Nice.
thank you
Thank sir...😊😊
You’re welcome ☺
maybe this is a stupid question, but how do you measure pitch? Is it the thicknesss?
Most of the interlacing programs have a pitch test function. It allows you to generate a chart of vertical lines at a variety of pitch values. You then place your lenticular sheet over the pitch test chart and view it from the desired printing viewing distance looking for a band that is a solid color. Download the trial version of 3DMasterKit. It has a pitch test function and you can go through their tutorial.
Thank you for this video, Michael. There is a free and open source alternative to Immersity AI called DepthFlow by Broken Source Software. I find it works just as well.
Thank you. There are also a bunch on HuggingFace. I like the user interface on Immersity, but sometimes other software better results. it seems very dependent on the particular image.
Does autofocus work with the Sony Alpha?
yes, just move the focal point to one side or the other.
I'm a photo booth owner in Chicago and would love add this to our services. I love it
check with VueThru. They are suppliers in the event imaging market.
Hey Michael, I am really loving your lenticular insight. I am excited to try it out for myself. I work at the University of North Florida in the photography department and think this would be a great lesson for next semester. I have some questions about choosing the right LPI. Most students are printing on 13x19 paper at biggest. For the best quality lenticular at this size what LPI density would you suggest?
I suggest 40LPI.
thank your for your great and useful research and sharing
You’re welcome!
Hi there! Im going to order some lenticular sheets for a 3d project and wanted to print it with my selphy printer. I only discovered this printer has a pretty low DPI of only 300x300. as the general rule of the tumb was 10x value of the printers DPI for LPI it would require 1000DPI to make a 100LPI print. Do you think it would be possible to make 100LPI prints on the selphy or advise another print for that?
I’m not aware of the 10x guideline, but 100LPI will not show much depth. In general, the lower the LPI and the narrower the viewing angle - the more depth.
Can I ask why do we upscale the image to 100.2% when the lenticular sheet is smaller then 40 lpi. Why do we make the image larger if the sheet is smaller ? Little confusing
It’s not the sheet size that matters, you are trying to get the pitch to match the sheets LPI at a given viewing distance.
Hello, I really like your work. Could you generate a calibrator for 100 and 160 lpi sheets? how much would you charge me? The calibrator would have to be for printing at 600 DPI and 720 DPI
Those LPIs are not going to work very well with inkjet printers. You can download the trial version of 3DMasterKit and use it to make pitch tests.
Hi Michael, Thank you so much for all your videos, they've been really helpful. I'm an animator/artist from Sweden. and I have question about the purchasing of the lenticular plastic, do you know any cheap methods you can go by. Here in Sweden at least you need to buy such a big shipment and can't buy more separate. Kind regards,
I don’t know of a source in Sweden, but VueThru in the US sells an animation sheets in small quantities. For 3D, you need to source from China. Lenticular Clint on Facebook can help you.
how much would you charge to make a shirt like this
I don’t make shirts
Lovely!
Thank you Michael Brown! That`s amazing! Anyway, this tutorial shows how to make a 3D photo from a generated 2D image. How do I do the same process just with a picture I have in my photo album? Or if I don't want to generate an image, but I want to use my own photo?
Try this: ua-cam.com/video/EgVr_I22JNc/v-deo.htmlsi=C8fgB6cZO-t2xT3x
So cool! I love it.
Yay, thank you!
if i want a 3 or 4 flip images, i should put 1-22-33-1?
You're close, but with that combo you are seeing both 2 & 3 when centered. So 11-22-33, Frame two is centered.
Perhaps the video format would allow you to add subtle 3d "clues" to an otherwise still image, for example in a picture taken outdoors any plants or whatever in the background could moving with the wind
im relly noob on this, but i dont get the 02:00 sheet, if i have 3 imagen that i want to flip, i have to duplicate them? how many times? why? im kinda lost there
It really depends on your interlacing software. In some you can use 3-frames (1,2,3). Other programs might want 18 (111111,222222,333333). Experiment.
But remember it's lenticular lpi high quality 50 60 65 100 160 the better the resolution . All devices must be compatible to lpi
Higher LPI sheets (100+) are for litho printers, not inkjet printers. Lower LPIs work better with inkjet producing less ghosting and better 3D in most cases.
@MichaelBrownArtist yup hieldelberg
Calibration sheet must stand on a 🪜 to get distance exactly the mm must be clear white straight lines even black it depends on the images
You don’t need a ladder. you view the pitch test from the same distance that your viewers will look at the sheet.
@MichaelBrownArtist depends on what size matters
Thanks for the teaching

Hi! I'm starting to make lenticular photos, what is that roller thing name? I Guess is a gel dust remover? Or is an specialized tool? I can't find any similar arround my country
Dust removal roller.
cant believe this program is free
im starting a small lenticular busisnes here in chile, and a friend of mine is an amateur photographer, this is an awesome idea!
Ótima explicação ajudou muito. Gratidão
Glad it was helpful.
Very nice .
🎉 Great Tutorial sir thanks 🙏
Most welcome
He never rotate images slow, because in middle points of rotations images looks no good
They cross fade. You see one view from the front, the other from the side. The transition zone is just a fade between the two.
Grape doesn't show any images anywhere after hitting submit. This regardless of the setting used. No images found and closes. WTF!?
Make a screen capture video so I can see what you are seeing/doing.
@@MichaelBrownArtist was there any update regarding this problem? Im having the same issue
@@maxmartin4225 , I haven't had that issue, try contacting technical support: info@pop3dart.com
Thanks so much for sharing this info!
You are so welcome!
Did I miss the part where you show how you use Stereo Photomaker to make a frame set from a stereo image?
I no longer use stereo pairs for creating frame series. The machine learning monocular depth estimation is now so good that I use a single 2D image and depth map. when I need to do that I use Triaxes 3DMasterKit. I usually divide the screen into layers and use a depth map with each layer.
@MichaelBrownArtist You said that someone asked about taking a stereo pair and and converting them into a lenticular print which involves the stereo pair and a depth map. I understand that you don't personally do that, but what was the answer to that question?
Great Tutorial
Thanks!
the two i've used the most the past few years have probably been grape and 3D masterkit and they both work, but i've since had to switch to running my own scripts purely because i need video for my home built 3D displays and the only one that does sub pixel multiplexing is i-magic which is like $1700 even then it only does images as far as i'm aware
Very interesting.
