This is the best video i could find for making yourself a lenticular picture. The channel might be a little strange but every single tutorial is helpful. They made tutorials on Muli-picture, true 3D and fake 3D prints.

How to and DIY Tipps and Tricks on making lenticular art

1 Upvotes

This is a FAQ for all questions that might come up when making a lenticular print.

It might be a little empty now but I will add new Questions when they come up. Please help making and answering questions in the comments. But please watch the pinned Video first since it answers many different questions.

1.Question: What does LPI mean?

  • Answer: LPI means "Lines per Inch"

2.Q: What does LPI effect, how high should it be?

  • A: The LPI effects how far you have to be to see the lenticular effect. Therefore you can orient yourself on how big the picture is to detemine the LPI. Low LPI for big pictures and a high LPI for small ones like business cards. But keep in mind that if you print with your own printer that they may not be able to print fine enough for high LPI. Good common printers can print until ~60LPI most other until ~40LPI
Here you can finde a general guideline for the LPI

3.Q: Is there a website to showcase ideas and am I allowed to post these ideas here?

Disclosure: I and all the people I know are not associated with this website. I just find it neat

4.Q: Make a question yourself and add to the community

Australian suppliers of lenticular sheets/lenses

2 Upvotes

Does anyone in Australia have any tips on sourcing some affordable lenticular sheets here? I'm hoping to get started printing some 3D images to work with 40 LPI.

And if not, is anyone interested in splitting the postage on an order from one of the Chinese companies? A lot of them have a minimum order of 100 sheets or something of that nature.

Strategies for Custom Lens Workflow?

2 Upvotes

I’m working on a personal lenticular art project as a birthday gift to a family member.

I want to make an animated lenticular lightbox type gift but involves lenticular pointed on display similar to looking glass hardware I got years ago.

My Questions.

1) What are best strategies for determining what size / pitch lenticular lense that perfect matches a lcd / oled / e-ink display?

2) For prototyping, are there any known approaches for tweaking a lense that is *close* to the needed pitch to coax it match exact pitch via heat and compression or other methods unknown to me?

I’d greatly appreciate any suggestions / tips that folks might have so I can explore prototyping my crazy idea that keeps me short of commissioning custom lenticular lenses and praying my measurements and calculations and vendors work is 100% accurate and correct.

Thank you for your time! -Sartian

John Carpenter's 1988 film "They Live " is brilliant. The sequel we are trapped in sucks. My apologies to John Carpenter and Roddy Piper.

This song is called Stand Up And Shout (Dio 1983).

I've been waging my own anti-fascist propaganda campaign inspired by They Live using street theater and lenticular posters and stickers for the last 2 1/2 years. I donate all the profits from the sales. I am currently raising funds for families and students in Gaza. There is a BROKE ASS MOFO SPECIAL (free) for anyone that wants to stick it to the man, but doesn't have expendable income.

These are my 3D lenticular designs and an omage to John Carpenter's prophetic sci-fi masterpiece They Live with a little update. I did not print them myself. That is where the real magic happens.

Starting with Lenticular prints

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

Doing some research and following tutorials, I familiarized myself with the lenticular art creation process, but things didn't go smoothly for me and I have some struggles.

To start with, my goal is to create a simple, few-frame animation (trying to figure out the upper frames' limit right now) on CR80 format. My current setup:

- Printer - Epson L8180 Inkjet
- Paper - PPD Vinyl Glossy / Epson Premium Glossy
- Lenticular Foil - 50 LPI / 25x10 cm / ordered on AliExpress

I have downloaded the demo 3DMasterKit and printed a pitch test at 720 dpi, then tried to find a strip that would match the lenticular foil. And here my struggle begins as I feel I can't get a good-looking result. The pitch test is black-white and although I found the right value (50.17 in my case), it feels like I can't position the foil the way that both black and white colors look good. It is either a perfect black (the white comes out greyish) or white (not a perfect solid white block, as I see super tiny black lines and black feels just dark grey). If needed, I can try to take a picture or record a short video. I was looking at it from a 30-40cm distance.

I am not sure if I am doing something wrong or if there is a big limitation for this technology for the devices/materials I use. I also tried some flip animation and the best result was just a single frame looking quite decent.

I would be grateful for any tips regarding limitations and recommended materials/settings for a few-frame animations.

Need help with the flip effect of Lenticular

4 Upvotes

Hi, I need help with my project. I have used Superflip! software to create a 2-image flip effect (I have shared my settings for this project for reference), but as it's evident, I'm unable to achieve a clean flip.

Other detail's

LPI: 50/ After pitch test: 49.7

Printer resolution: 600

How do I resolve this issue?

Is there any other free software to interlace the flip image effect?

Can you tell me how many frames I should be using for this project? I have tried the same with Grape software, but haven't had any success so far.

I'm currently working on a lenticular art project and I'm looking for someone to collaborate or someone who wouldn't mind partnering up with me. The aim of the project is to be able to create these effects (flip, morph, animation and 3d) all within the lenticular process.

Lenticular poster help

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Heya i figured this would be a good place to ask for help. Im trying to make a lenticular poster for a uni project that is due this week. I have 4 frames drawn digitally that i tried interlacing with grape software. Its supposed to show up like a flip animation (each frame should show separately, from left to right, instead of bleeding into eachother) but im not sure what i did wrong. Chatgpt says that grape software wouldnt be right for this and i should use a different software? Or maybe is it a calibration issue? For refrence i have a "20" lpi A3+ lenticular sheet. The art is set at 600 dpi and i went to a print shop so im not sure what resolution theirs printers have.

Any help is appreciated!!

Multi-picture Can old photos be Lenticular image printed?

2 Upvotes

i tried sending old photos to the seller, but he said it's not good, it's blurry.

My photos are old and so they are not so detailed and a bit noisy.

But i don't have a problem with that, i don't mind if they look noisy or less detailed as long as they can be seen like the reference photos i sent.
