The Custom Lenticular and Art Cards thread

[digitalbabe]

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!

This link doesn't work anymore. I've tried searching for the company/person/forum member who makes these. Can someone help me out?

The company is Snapily.com

Should be some interesting 'experimentation' pics from me and @djs1401 soon

Does the experimentation have to do with the layered PSDs?

I have so many ideas but no proper know-how

Layered and sequence, from what they tell me I wish I had a mac to use their program because I want a PROPER 3D sequence

I gotta say and given my modest skills, I came up with some pretty impressive results on a couple, specially with depth.

I tried doing a sequence but the images I used were low-res and the result was *censored*

Problem we had when I did some for @mehbeh was they looks brilliant on the preview on snappily and then in hand they were a little underwhelming

@djs1401 tells me they have upgraded the printers since and are better so we've got an order together to test some quite simple stuff before we go all out

Yeah what I did was extract pictures from a gif to get the "movement" element but the outcome on print was a disaster lol, just ask @mlmaier84 about that Thor lenti. The resulting lenti is never to see the light of day again (I'm exaggerating but still lol). That was using their new printer, I'm not blaming them, I just couldn't find high-res pics to get what I wanted.

Looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with next and as I mentioned in a previous post, I'll be posting here mine once they're in hand

Just sent you a PM with one but @djs1401 did one for Tron Legacy which may be a game changer

Yeah, it looked great on the website, but in hand might be different all together...
As they say - "the proof is in the pudding"

Got these yesterday

Couple more:

@babylon

Looking good - really like the one for Inception

 

[djs1401]

So my next batch arrived today - this time all 3D ones.
Only 4 of them are good enough to share on here - the other 4 will not see the light of day again

 

[zesty]

Well we tried anyway, wonder how many of mine I'll actually show

 

[IRON MAN]

@djs1401 @zesty I dodged a bullet there by waiting for your feedback about "those that shall never see the light of day", thanks fellas! Sorry to hear they came out the way they did.

 

[djs1401]

Yes, but by doing this 'experimentation', I have learnt how to create good 3D ones.
As @zesty said, it is best to keep it simple. I will only be doing 2 layer 3D ones, and putting the 2nd layer on the 'zero' plane.
The 'zero' plane gets printed really crisp/sharp, so best to put the title and foreground artwork on there, otherwise it will come out blurry.
I did that with the Divergent one, and it is the clearest out of them all.

@djs1401 3D depth is coming fine for me when using their software, I'll send you one of the vids I showed @zesty

LOL, come one man! We all want to see the steaming turds that were produced as well!

 

[babylon]

Yes agreed, it would be nice to see the others as we can all learn from them
