Installation
Before installation 1.D: drive should be Separate partition and free space required. 2.If windows 7 , install by right click then run as administrator. 3.If not installed, pause the anti-virus for few seconds. 4.Insert cd and double click the "exe" file 5.Insert softkey or Dongle in USB port. 6.Finally open the software. 7.This software will not work in windows vista.

Pitch Test
Pitch is the exact count of lenticules per inch (LPI). This refers to matching the rendered 3dfile with the frequency and spacing of the lens material. Take print of the following Pitch files C:/program file/Antz Technologies/ pitch/ PitchRange_8_60_420 C:/program file/Antz Technologies/ pitch/ PitchRange_8_40_480 Print the file in any Desktop photo printer i.e: epson/canon/HP/ Brother

Pitch value for 60 Lpi: 420

Pitch value for 40 Lpi: 478.505

The above image is an example of one type pitch testfile. It consists of various different frequencies of lines for a certain LPI. It may be necessary to resize an rendered image to fit the lens more appropriately. The alignment bars are used for aligning the image and the lens as well as adjusting the pitch.

Import the psd file

Choose the artwork which is ready to create

After choosing the parameters Play for view Choose the Lens and Depth

.5

Depth can be kept as .5" for 8"x10" sizes The depth can be adjusted according to the size of the images too.

This is used as selection tool to create volumetric

Draw line

The volumetric is created as several steps

Go to draw line and using the draw tool, you can now choose the area of the image which should be higlighted. For example if you want adjustments there are15 steps to be taken for volumetric effects

Click the preview button to see the depth

Stop the preview

After another layer to create the volumetric effect Set layer/ Select to another Layer.

You can set values according to the depth

After Setting the Value, play the preview to see over all depth

Stop and Save the file for Further Use

Resampling Pitch
After Rendering the file. Open in Photoshop

"Off" the Resample image

418.505

Change the Value as per your pitch test result ( 418.505)

"on" the Resample image

480

Change the Value as per your original out put resolutions 480

Printing

Alignment and Lamination

Adjust the alignment bar in the print out taken with the appropriate lens, so that the image strips are parallel to lenticules. The alignment bars produced during rendering are necessary for achieving proper lens alignment during the printing. You can set the size of the alignment bars to match your project requirements. Proper lens alignment is crucial in achieving a good effect.

Use tapes at both side edges, for easy releasing self adhesive.

This image illustrates bad alignment The alignment bars have "zebra" type pattern

This image illustrates good alignment The alignment appear as either solid black or white

Release the tape for1 inch down and paste slowly

Use Cold laminating machine for lamination.
