Drawing three dimensional images are difficult to create because of the inherent two dimensional nature of the drawing surface. Over years of refinement artists have found ways to depict three dimensional items in two dimensional mediums. Perspective, foreshortening, and ocular occlusion are only a few examples. Different layers or depth of an image will move […]
Lenticular gives a motion or 3D effect because the lens can be used to focus on distinct images, each in unison. Similar to a movie that has frame after frame of still images flashed quickly a raw lenticular image (viewed without the lens) will appear as if it is more than one image. To create
Horizontal lens orientation is used when 3D is not required. Because humans eyes are stationed horizontally along the face each eye will have the same viewing angle of a horizontal lens. This means that both eyes see a single image, negating the brains natural tendency to perceive depth. Instead with each eye viewing the same

1. Vertical OrientationVertical lenticular lenses deliver separate images to the left and right eye of an observer. With a vertically oriented lens focusing on a vertically interlaced series of images it is possible create a 3D effect by utilizing the human brain’s natural desire to fuse two images, each seen from the slightly different perspective

Contact 3D Engineer What is this 3D Engineer site about? The first items on 3DEngr were tutorials for the CSWP Exam (Certified Solidworks Professional). Over time the topics and focus have evolved into other areas: Engineering, Design, New Product Development, & Marketing. These components together have helped to create some amazing products and innovations. If
I recently had the chance to experience an interesting piece of art by a renowned artist. That work now is gone, it lasted less than a fortnight. It was unsigned, untitled, and even the artist it is credited to is unknown except by a nickname. “Banksy” added the primary piece of vandalism in this image.
Bringing out another dimension from a television has recently become a popular topic. The question is, how good is the 3D, and how much of a hassle is it to watch? At this point a lot of people have seen 3D in theaters (where they use passive glasses). But will the home experience be the
The top switch slider is broken, it feels like it does not engage, to fix the thing the remote must be opened. The front of the remote says RC32, there are 6 screws that need to be removed to take it apart. Two screws are located in the battery compartment, they can be accessed by
The box and marketing material for Solidworks have always had shiny renderings plastered all over them. Unfortunately the software that created them (Photoworks and then Photoview 360) was always a part of the Professional package. Then, last summer, they allowed all beta testers access to the professional suite. During that time I poked around a
