Lenticular 3D!
This is pretty awesome. Just shot 13 images of my now world-famous fruit bowl and made a lenticular out of them. 13′s total overkill–a baker’s dozen–but what the heck! I figured I could throw a few out, but they all turned out okay.
Here are the layers superimposed:
The tangerine in the center of the bowl was my “picture point”–the point on the picture plane. Specifically, I shot for the shadow at the bottom. I brought all the images into Photoshop on separate layers at 50% opacity, and worked on aligning that point. Then I cropped the final image to eliminate empty background, but I’m not sure that was really necessary.
Here’s my bootleg camera setup:
I moved the camera left 10mm at a time, always aiming to center the picture point.
Next, I downloaded Lenticular Image Creator by Jameson Bennett (http://lenticularimagecreator.com), which is painfully easy to use. A really nice program. Here are the screen shots:
I saved it as a .png, but it will be worth playing around with all these settings.
