I'm an 3D illustrator that specializes in 3D lenticular (an autostereographic print technology, no glasses!) development.

I'm thinking about writing a tutorial on how to make 3D prints from your VUE files. I was wondering if there was any interest?

Well if you could do one that applies to a broader range of 3D apps you'd have a larger audience, but I'm sure the Vue-ers here would dig one...I'd like one for Imagine3D as well, my basic app. If possible IM me.

The  process works with any 3D app as long as you can animate the camera, so I plan to make it pretty general.

Cool...all smiles here!

I'd be interested in seeing it too. Does it need any special apparatus, or is it the cross-eyes approach or the depth-cued texture effect?

No special apparatus required and it is neither the cross-eyes or depth-cued effect.

The process uses a series of views (8-24 usually) that are interlaced and then printed directly on or a print is laminated to a sheet of lenticualr lenses. These lenses present each eye with a separate view of the scene and you see it in 3D. True stereo 3D.

Sorry it has taken so long, but the tutorials are done and available on my new web site www.zaxysdmi.com.

autostereo what?

But sounds funny. Is that 10 Dollar for one postcard? Do you print these or do you just send out that sheet?

The tutorial is designed to explain how to prep your 3D scene for lenticular printing. The tutorial is $10 but I will send out a free 3D sample postcard so you can see what they look like. I have arranged with a large national printer to do the printing.

i'd be happy if i could even turn my files into 2D prints, but spectral with half a dozen daz people, and 300 dpi and large size don't seem to go well in vue 6 love esther
