What does Lenticular mean?

A lenticular lens is an array of magnifying lenses, designed so that when viewed from slightly different angles, different images are magnified.[1] The most common example is the lenses used in lenticular printing, where the technology is used to give an illusion of depth, or to make images that appear to change or move as the image is viewed from different angles.

Lenticular printing is a multi-step process consisting of creating a lenticular image from at least two existing images, and combining it with a lenticular lens. This process can be used to create various frames of animation (for a motion effect), offsetting the various layers at different increments (for a 3D effect), or simply to show a set of alternate images which may appear to transform into each other.

A Background on 3D Lenticular Printing

  • Lenticular printing is a technology in which a lenticular lens is used to produce images with an illusion of depth, or the ability to change or move as the image is viewed from different angles.
  • Examples of lenticular printing include prizes given in Cracker Jack snack boxes that showed flip and animation effects such as winking eyes, and modern airport advertising graphics that change their message depending on the viewing angle.
  • This technology was created in the 1940s but has evolved in recent years to show more motion and increased depth. Originally used mostly in novelty items, lenticular prints are now being used as a marketing tool to show products in motion.

 

Flip 3D Depth

Lenticulars can be designed to flip using two separate images. To the viewer, the image appears to change as the lenticular is tilted either side to side or up and down.Usually,the fliping image can be reached 4 photos

(A dramatic swapping of two images-each vanishing and then reappearing from one to another. Utilizing this lenticular flip effect is most beneficial for demonstrating "cause-and-effect" or even "before-and-after" comparisons.)

 

A Lenticular image can also be designed without movement, but with an eye-catching 3D image that can be viewed without the use of special glasses.

(Objects within an image are layered to give the illusion of depth and perspective. Unlike 2-dimensional design, using this lenticular effect allows graphics to appear more realistic. Lenticular 3D can be incorporated into most images or design styles.)

 


Animation Zoom

With a series of images coming together to create an animation much like a short movie clip, this is the most complex lenticular effect. The illusion of motion actually comes from either a selection of video frames or sequential still images. This lenticular animation effect is great for emphasizing body movement or mechanical action.

(Up to 50 frames may be used to create amazing animation effects that totally fool the human eyes. Perfect for hand drawn images, TV cartoon sequences or even computer generated sequences.)

Lenticular images can also be designed to create a zoom effect using a single word or perhaps a company logo. As the lenticular is tilted, the image appears to zoom toward or away from the viewer, going from a little image to a large image and back to little again.

(The illusion of movement from background to foreground to create the effect of "leaping out" or "jumping back." A lenticular zoom animation can consist of one or more objects, or even a full image. This effect works best for highlighting elements such as products, logos, or important messages.)

 

Morph  

Another design option for Lenticulars features motion that allows the image to gradually change - or "morph" - from one image to another.This lenticular morph effect can be used for showcasing a product or feature that may change or create change.
