It Is A Piece Of Ribbed Plastic With Lenticules Running Vertically Ranging From 15 Line Per Inch To 150 Line Per Inch. Each Rib Is A Lens. Each Lens Is Set Up According To Viewing Distance, Depth And Field Of View Through A Logarithmic Process Commonly Known As Interlacing. This Assists In Incrementally Developing The Movement That The Brain Interprets And The Eye Appears To See. Lenticulars Are Unique Because You Do Not Need Special Glasses To See The Illusion. They Are Made By Taking A Multi-layered Image, Merging It In To One Layer, And Placing A Special Lens Over The Image So That Each Layer Appears Separately Depending Upon Where The Viewer Is In Relation To The Picture. The Finer The Lens, The More Layers Can Be Seen.
Available Effects :
Flips-Two Or More Images Changing From One To The Other. The Simplest And Often Most Effective Use Of Lenticulars. Can Be Activated Side To Side Horizontally-E.g. Window Displays Or Up And Down Vertically Escalators.
3d-creating Depth Up To 2 Feet From A 5mm Lens.
Animations-This Is Similar To The Flip Effect Except Three Or More Static Images Are Used. This Can Create A More Interesting Or Complex Transition From One Image To The Next.
Zoom - This Is When You Look At An Image And You Appear To Zoom In And Out As You Move The Lenticular Back And Forth. Basically, The Same Image Just Gets Bigger And Smaller. It Is A Very Effective And Easy To Produce In Combo With 3-d.
Morphing-this Is A Multi-phase Animation Where The Transition From One Image To The Next Is stepped To Give The Illusion That One morphs, Transforms Or Changes Into Another Image. The Preparation Of The Art Is Critical To The Effectiveness Of This Effect.
