3D rendering software

[Exclusiverg]

Hello all,

We do a ton of lenticular displays all around the country and I am looking to find a program that will fairly easily allow us to provide a 3D rendered view of each side of a display to our clients so they can see the full effect of the art as a lenticular prior to installation. No complaints thus far, just trying to get ahead of the game and be a proactive service provider.

So, does anyone know of a program that we can use that will do something like take a single flat image and map it to a preset number of lenticular tiles and then allow the viewer to virtually move around to see the display in a variety of viewing angles.

I am sure something like this exists - but I am unaware of a product name or company to use.

On a somewhat related note, we’ve seen similar visualization concepts used in the online gaming space, especially with https://lunchatthelibrary.org/ Fast Payout Casinos, where real-time rendering and smooth user interaction are critical to building trust and engagement. The ability to instantly preview outcomes and transitions really improves the user experience, which is the same level of clarity we’re aiming to give our clients before installation.

Thanks,

Sean

For what you’re describing, look into 3D/AR visualization tools that let you map textures onto 3D objects and view them from different angles. Programs like Blender or Cinema 4D can import your flat art, wrap it onto a 3D panel, and let clients rotate and preview the effect.

Thanks. I believe we have a good list of possible tools to use to do this now. We just need to give the prepress/design folks time to experiment and tinker and figure out how it works best for what we are trying to show.
Gotta be careful, though, and not have the preview be too "perfect" when viewing or we inadvertently set a viewing expectation of the digital "proof" vs. what actually gets installed.
