The article provides basic information about the 3D lenticular printing technology and its history. The author explains the principles of 3D image creation with the help of this technology.

The aurthor of the article goes deep into the subject of stereo image production explaining the basic notions and terms.

The article explains the mechanism of 3D image production including different methods of stereo shooting as well as the overview of the equipment.

This is Part 2 of the previous artcile. In this article various methods of viewing stereo images are described in detail, among them:  viewing with the stereoscope, paralel and cross-eyed viewing methods, viewing with 3D glasses, glasses-free 3D technology.

The article gives a short description of various possible effects for lenticular images as well as recommendations for source images that will help you get the best result.

The article explains the differences between the fade and morphing effects that can be achieved with the help of the Triaxes Morpher software.

Useful lenticular design tips from lenticular professionals.

The article decribes different ways to create a 3D photo for viewing on Looking Glass holographic displays with the help of Triaxes StereoTracer.  

3D image creation requires information about the scene depth.  If you are working with a stereo image (stereo pair) you can create a depthmap with the help of the special program, for example Triaxes StereoTracer. However, if you want to create a 3D image out of a 2D one, you will have to draw such a depthmap manually. This article will explain how to do that in detail.

The article explains in brief how to create a 3D lenticular photo that can be watched without special glasses out of a stereo pair using Triaxes StereoTracer. 

The author of the article shares his experience in home production of 3D lenticular pictures and gives advice on how to avoid cruical mistakes.

This short note describes 2 methods of image creation with the zoom effect (scaling) using 3DMasterKit or 3DMasterKit and a third-party graphics editor.

The article gives detailed instructions on how to easily create a 3D image using a smartphone with Android 4.4., the Lens Blur mode (Google Camera) and Triaxes StereoTracer.

This short article explains how to combine the 3D and flip effects in one picture. In this example a flip logo is added to the 3D image.

This short article explains how to combine the 3D and flip effects in one picture. In this example the author shows how to place 3D objects over the flip background.

The tutorial shows how to convert a stereo pair to 3D using different rendering settings. The author draws special attention to generation parameters and explains how these parameters influence the final result.

The article shows the details of direct lenticular printing with the help of UV plotters and Triaxes Legend.

The article describes the process of image creation with the motion effect. The author also investigates why clean-cut transition between frames is not always possible and suggests the solution to the problem.

The author of this tutorial describes the process of lenticular image production out of a stereo pair using Triaxes StereoTracer, and also explains how one can change the default settings to get better results.

The tutorial explains in detail how to convert 2D image to 3D with the help of Triaxes 3DMasterKit v.10 and how to eliminate flaws that might occur in the process of conversion.

In this tutorial Daniel Richards, Canadian artist, shares his secrets of 3D image creation using a 2D digital photo which was altered into a digital painting. Special attention is drawn to how to control the light and build the composition of the scene while shooting.

The article describes in detail the new functions of StereoTracer 8: automatic frame number calculation mode, new frame generation mode enabling to save to files on a hard drive, new packet processing mode, compression level adjustment, etc.

The article describes in detail the new functions of 3DMasterKit v.9: automatic depth map generation for layers, depth map editing in a third-party editor, setting the image page bleed that can prevent white edging, adjusting alignment marks to the specified size by only 1 click, etc.

A revolutionary-new version of 3DMasterKit had been edgily waited for. This article gives an overview of the newest functions available: automatic mode of frame number calculation, new Picture layout dialog (alignment marks with advanced settings, centering marks, crop marks), Move instrument for the relative shift of the source frames, and much more.

The article is devoted to Triaxes DepthGate allowing to convert conventional 3D (for watching with glasses) into glasses-free video formats (2D+Z, multiview) intended for different models of autostereoscopic displays. The author demonstrates how the software solves quite a difficult task when video contains transparent objects that are difficult to deal with for conversion algorithms.

 The article is devoted to stereoscopes that can become an alternative for the 3D lenticular photo. The author explains how to easily create stereoscope cards using 3DMasterKit, and also offers a ready business idea with the use of this product.
