The flip effect combines two or more very different images. The images change as the viewing angle changes. The lenses that are best suited for the flip effect are those that have a large viewing angle. With these lenses, the viewer can easily see the original images as only large movements of the viewer or printed material cause the jump from one image to the other.
The animation effect consists of several sequential images that show small differences between one image and the next. Effects such as zooming and morphing can also be achieved in the same way.
3D effect lenticular prints allow each eye to see a different image. Thanks to the capacity of stereoscopic vision of the human being, the brain is able to integrate both images to create a three-dimensional illusion without the need of special glasses. The 3D layered effect consist of an illusion of depth created by several independent objects separated into layers that move horizontally over each other at different speeds. It is an easy technique for beginners to perform.
Lenticular images with real 3D effect can also be obtained through 3D modeling programs: Maya, AutoCAD, LightWave, etc. For 3D effects, lenticular plastics with a narrow viewing angle are preferred.
Depth mapping techniques add volume perceptions impossible to achieve with other alternatives. The 2D to 3D image conversion performed with this method achieves a high degree of realism. Imagiam stands out in this area.
The possibilities of lenticular technology are fully exploited in 3D images that map image change effects onto real volumes. The results obtained with this format have a terrific visual impact on the observer. Imagiam makes this process very easy.
