I love lenticulars. I'm working on writing my own lenticular software right now. You can see some of my lenticular math art here: https://gods.art/

I did some experiments creating lenticular 3D and failed miserably. I'll look at what you got.
I would love to see the software, BTW.

Those are amazing! Are you hand aligning those lenses on the print or is there some sort of tooling/hardware/service that is capable of it?
Hand aligning is the only way I know of.

Any chance you could share the math behind the pixel snowflakes?
I’d love to know more about the floating exclamation mark in one of those pictures you’ve linked to
I just walked into the room and that was there. After some examination, I realized it is a projection of the forest behind our house shining through a crack in the window.

I love the Give and Take one.
When I click on a piece of art on your website it takes me to a page with an unhappy face and a message that says "No video with supported format and MIME type found".
Using Firefox 129.0.1
It's a MOV tagged as video/mp4. For me, FF recognizes only the audio part but if extracting the raw video URL I can play it with vlc.
They're the same thing. The problem is not the container, it's the H.265 encoded video which Firefox doesn't accept. It's not a good idea to throw raw cell phone video onto a website, first because it probably won't play everywhere, and second because there's embedded high-precision location data.
It's funny seeing this after the arguments in the mpv thread a few days ago[1] where over if VLC's extra bloat (and lack of features like stepping back a frame) is justified by it coping with diverse formats. This file doesn't play correctly for me in mpv[2], but does fine in VLC.

Thanks for the bug report.

Hexagonal Jewel Tunnel looks like a hyperdrive into space
I like how you chose the content of drawing so that it's complemented by lenticular effect instead of fighting against it. In many typical lenticular pictures that attempt to show an animation or 3d effect, there are angles in which you partially see two images thus ruining the picture by making it look blurry/striped.
Not sure if it looks equally good in real life, but at least in the videos of your art the color gradients seemed to produce much smoother transition, which doesn't break the picture even when you partially see two consecutive frames.
Yes, if you want to do good lenticular art, you want nice smooth transitions (on a pixel-by-pixel level).
These are amazing - I'd love to buy one, if you are selling your art. Though shipping to the UK and import tax would probably make this prohibitively expensive.
I am selling. I can be contacted at [email protected]. I'm really not sure how much shipping/tax would be to UK (never sold internationally).
