Howdy fellow forumites
Some of you may remember me from a while back when I was getting feedback on some dinosaur art,
well that work (and much more) has found it's first home on 3D playing cards :)




https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/3dsharkcards/3d-playing-cards-dinosaurs?ref=email

and I wanted to share it with the people who gave me the help I needed to get this project off the ground.

This has been a massive project needing 52 different dinosaurs researched and modeled (...well, some may be only "honorary" dinosaurs :P ) we tried to be as up to date and accurate as possible (with the long lead time, several dinosaurs needed revision to reflect new discoveries.)

Thank you for the awesome community and resource  :)

One of the hardest things about the lenticular medium is trying to show the 3D effect online or in print.
The best solution we could come up with is cracking out as many other 3D techniques as possible.


Cross-eyed viewing - cross your eyes to focus in front of the screen while looking at the image until the left and right images combine to make a 3D one. (I personally can't do this one :( )


Parallel viewing - look through the image, unfocusing your eyes until the two images combine to make a 3D one. (I can do this one though :) )


Anaglyphs are another old favorite for 3D viewing and couldn't be simpler...as long as you have a trusty pair of red/blue 3D glasses handy. (an old classic, unfortunately needs specialist equipment.)



Cheers :)
