hello & lenticular

Hello everybody,

I am a new (and french speaking) 3d user and let me tell you that I am
really happy to know about you!
I used to be a "regular" photographer until last year, when I bought an
Imagetech wizard. Of course, I've seen stereoscopic pictures in different
exhibitions but I never tried that kind of technique for 2 reasons: 1)it
seems to me too difficult to process; 2)it needs a "special" viewerfor the
spectator.
So, when I discovered the Imagetech lenticular process, it was a great surpr=
ise.
I have taken a few pictures with my Imagetech and now I 'd like to make big
enlargment. Some of you gave me info before I knew about this P3Dlist
(Martin, Joel, David and a special thanks to William wwstrat) but a good
answer provokes more questions.

So what do you suggest me to do to have the Imagetech effect (is lenticular
print the right expression?) on large print (like 40x50 inch or something)?
The idea is to immerge the spectator in a 3d space, so it needs to be a
huge picture.

- Can I use this camera or is it better to use a 5 lens (that I don't have)?
- Can I use a classical 35mm camera (that I have) and move it inbetween
each picture?
- Or can I use a classical 6x6 camera (that I have)?
- How many pictures of the same subject do I need to have a nice effect? I
know that the negative size affect sharpness for big prints, but what about
the amount of negatives?
- Do some labs print lenticular prints with classical (35mm or 6x6) negative=
s?
- Do you know another way to make that kind of picture? Maybe there is
another technique that I don't know about that would be more accurate.

You see that I am a little bit lost in the 3d space!This is a lot of
questions. Thanks in advance for answering. I hope one day I can answer to
some questions too.
Best to all of you


Herv=E9 Charles
