The Custom Lenticular and Art Cards thread

digitalbabe · Jan 28, 2014

Hi all, we added this thread, so you can showcase any customs you have made with lenticulars or other art cards. Please post them here, so our regular Steelbook threads stay focused on the title as released. No trading. Thanks!

Here's my first attempt

Looks great. I wish the studios would stop putting that blue banner on the top of the lenticular with all the disc information though - ruins the beautiful images.

Totally agree

In anticipation of the Guardians of the Galaxy steelbook, I went and made a full lenti slip: (thanks to @zesty for designing the slip)

Wow! Looks great. Now make some more for the rest of us!

WOW! awesome work. Are the words at the back of the slip embossed?

Thanks.
Unfortunately, no, they are not embossed.
I don't have the tech/tools for custom embossing.
I just printed the slip on my inkjet printed, and sprayed it with a clear gloss to protect it/stop the ink from smudging.
It gave it a kind of sparkly effect, which I like.

Could you guys explain me the difference between the 3D and the flip effects ?

So here's my first attempt at custom lenticulars. But first I have to thank @Apollon for helping me. I can't thank you enough :notworthy:

. And also, @lomadu for some of the pictures :thumbs:

. Excuse the videos' orientation, I forgot to film it in landscape :wtf:

The Matrix Reloaded

I think this is probably the worst of the 3

Gonna have to do another one and also have to add the title.

Captain America The First Avenger

Better than Matrix. I forgot to remove the 'Marvel' logo. I should've also resized Red Skull. His figure is a bit bigger than the Captain's.

Guardians of the Galaxy

I think this turned out very well. Only mistake I made is that I didn't stretch out the title all the way.

I also notice a red (may be magenta?) blur on the lentis. I'm not sure if you can see it in the videos. Here are some pictures, may be you guys can see it better?

I've seen other lentis here, but I didn't see such shade/blur on them. What do you guys think?

3D - The picture doesn't change at all. Just has the 3D effect (e.g. The appearance of "popping" out of the card)

Flip - when the lenti card is turned/twisted, the image actually changes or "flips" from one picture to another. However, some companies (with the right equipment) can use more than just two images (e.g. Kimchi's "Her")
