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.
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.
Hello Michael, Thank you for the interesting video. Do you have to align the individual images beforehand? Is that possible with StereoPhotoMaker? What settings do you have to use there? Thank you.
Yes, you have to align the images first. Yes, you can do that with StereoPhotoMaker. File: Multi Job: Multiple Images: XY Adjustment & Cropping. Ten select the "Set Point" button. Move the cross hair with your mouse and click on the same point in each image that represents your alignment point.
@@peterschmidt3494 , there are a variety of software programs. Grape and SuperFlip are free programs. Paid programs include 3DMasterKit, Lentigram, Lenticulator, and a few others. The quality of your images and the type of lenticular sheet you use are more important than the specific interlacing software.
Hi Michael, when I tried running the demo sample, the final tif image it spits out is stretched horizontally, 5270 x 898. I didn't change anything in the job settings. Is there something I'm not accounting for? thanks!
I figured it out! The Horizontal density was set to 720 and the Vertical was set to 120. Maybe there is a problem with the included sample job? Thought you should know, thanks!
I have been creating cross-eyed and parallel stereo pairs for quite a while using StereoPhotoMaker. Would you mind telling me the procedure for making a Lenticular print IF I already have parallel and cross-eyed stereo images? Also, which would I use, parallel?
The stereo pair are not suitable for making a lenticular. You need more frames and a wider base. The best approach is to make a grayscale depth map from one of the frames and use that frame and depth map to create a frame series in SPM or better yet - Triaxes 3DMasterKit.
hi Michael, I've noted Grape only do vertical. How to do horizontal lenticular using grape? Or do I just rotate my original images 90 degrees to work with Grape?
Hi Michael, Thank you for the video! Do I understand correctly that the measured pitch number must be the same as LPI? Also, do you have tips for aligning a lens with an image? How do I understand that I placed a lens right? Thank you
The pitch is measured in LPI but will be slightly different than the lense's stated LPI. For example, my letter size prints are interlaced at 39.922 LPI and bonded to a 40LPI sheet. You determine the correct pitch by printing a pitch test chart and putting the lenticular sheet on top of it. Most interlacing software will print a registration border around the image to help with alignment. I generally add some black vertical lines to the center of my pitch test to help me with alignment.

hi, im using a canon pixma pro 200 it says it has 4800 x 2400 dpi resolution , should i use 600 ppi or 1200 ppi? , and do i need to print the pattern borderless ? sorry if this is some silly question but im new into this and got this new printer, thank you so much :) .

Hello Michael, I hope all is well(: I have some questions so I want to make some flip lenticular stickers I currently have a Epson Artisan 1430 printer but what thickness should I use For the 40 lpi? Because I want to be able to cut it with my cricut machine if that’s possible?
Hey Michael, great video! I am an artist trying to do a lenticular animation/motion piece. I know the lens needs to be different for animation vs 3D, but how different is the process in Grape?
cant believe this program is free
!!!RESOLVED!!! I learnt the files need to be labled with the individual numbers.
Good to hear - thanks for posting the solution!

maybe this is a stupid question, but how do you measure pitch? Is it the thicknesss?

With this combination you can get good lenticular images.
Is a better result really achievable with other software?

Do not print borderless. Try both 600 and 1200 ppi. See if you prefer one over the other.
What lens would you recomend for the final product
A lenticular sheet with a viewing angle less than 30 degrees. I like the MicroLens 3D-60LPI, but they stopped selling those last year.
@@MichaelBrownArtist ill look for somthing similar then, thanks

The Pacur 40LPI was 0.0330” thick. I don't have a Cricut machine but I think it will be too thick. You might want to consider using a die cutter.

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.
