How you can sell and buy 3D Frame sets using 3D PhotoStock Gallery

Dear Friends,
Finally I have launched my new project that's called 3D PhotoStock Gallery. I am very, very happy with that! :-)

Everybody, who starts a lenticular business, comes across with the problem "Where to find 3D frame sets for making lenticular pictures"? It is easy to find ordinary flat photos, you can just go to any photo stock gallery and you could choose tons of nice photos for any goals. But where can you find 3D frame sets for lenticular pictures? Hence you have to establish your own 3D photo studio. But that is expensive especially for starting of business.

On the other hand all 3D photographers love to do 3D photos but they do not have a way how to sell their 3D photos. Shooting 3D photos is extremely interesting process, in most cases it needs good and expensive photo equipment, time and creativity. This work has to be well paid. But 3D photographer can make and sell just several 3D lenticular pictures. So, that is not good business. Isn't it?

I thought a lot how can we get close 3D photographers and lenticular manufacturers? And as always the Life showed the way of solving this problem. On my web site 3D PhotoPro I have a small Gallery of my 3D lenticular pictures. From time to time the people order the pictures from it. But then I started to receive the requests from lenticular manufacturers. They want to get my 3D frame sets, because they want to use my pictures in their projects. I've made several good deals with manufacturers from USA, France, Spain, Belgium and Taiwan. That gives me an idea to establish the first in the world 3D PhotoStock Gallery that allows the people to sell and buy 3D Frame Sets.

I learned how to work ordinary photo stock companies in Internet and we developed 3D PhotoStock Gallery. That was a really huge work, but now this project is working! If you click on 3D PhotoStock Gallery you will see the two ways to use this web-site.

Buy Royalty-Free 3D Frame sets...

This part of web-site is for lenticular manufacturers. Before buying any 3D frame sets you have to read 3DPhotoStock End User License Agreement to know all limitations for using Royalty Free 3D Frame Sets. If you agree with that you can go directly to 3D PhotoStock Gallery and start searching 3D photos that you need.

You could do that in different ways. First of all you can see that all frame sets arranged by Categories and several Albums in each Category. There are 3 Categories:

3D Photography - for real 3D Photo Frame sets.
3D Art - for 3D Frame sets that were made using one of 3D graphic editor, like 3D Studio Max or Maya, for example.
3D Composition - for 3D Frame sets that were made by combining 3D and 2D objects or using 2D to 3D conversion

In each Category you can choose one of the Album and search the 3D Frame set that you need.

Another way of 3D Frames searching is searching by key words. For that, please, click the Search button above any Gallery page (picture 1) and print the key word that you need.

Picture 1

If any Frame sets have the same key word in their descriptions you will see them.

For example, if you search by key word "tree" you will see the page like that (picture 2).

Picture 2

If you click on any picture that you choose you will see all information about this picture and big sample picture. If you are interested in that picture you can put it to your Favorites or just copy and paste the URL of that file (picture 3). You can use that information to show that files to your customer.

To buy the frame set you can use your PayPal account. If you do not have a PayPal account yet you could get it right now for FREE. But regardless of the fact that in 3D Frame set description you can see just PayPal button I accept many other ways for payment, just contact to and we will find the best way for you.

Sell your 3D Frames online...

This part of web-site is for 3D Photographers, 3D Artists and 3D graphic designers who want to sell their 3D Frames online.

What is 3D Frame Set?

3D frame set is the set of object's pictures that were made from different angles. Since these frame sets will be used for making 3D lenticular pictures, the frame set must include at least 6 frames. See the sample of GIF-animation file made from 6 frames (picture 4). Do not pay attention to bad quality of picture because the GIF-animation has just 256 colors maximum.

3D Frame sets can be:

Shot by photo camera using the special device, like Tripod Add-on, for example.
Made in one of 3D Graphic Editor software, like Maya, 3D Studio Max, ...
Made using 2D to 3D conversion software, like "Bas-Relief" software, or made by another ways.

Photo Restrictions

Images must be at least 2MP (2 Megapixels/2 Million Pixels). To calculate the number of pixels in a photo - multiply the width by the height. For example - a photo that's 1700x1300 is 2.21 million pixels.
Images must NOT contain any international or local Trademarked Brands or Trademarked Logos. Images must NOT contain any company names, product names, or trademarked designs.
Images must NOT contain any copyrighted material including paintings, another copyrighted photo, copyrighted logos, or any other art/advertisements/sculptures/exhibits which are copyrighted.
For images containing nude content of artistic value, the model must look at least 20 years of age.
Images must NOT contain recognizable brand named products.
Images must be wholly owned by the submitter. If you do not have complete rights to the photo, you may not submit it.
Any images with an identifiable human MUST be accompanied by a model release. Images of a minor must have a parent or legal guardian sign their model release. A witness should sign the model release.
Your images may NOT have copyright notices embedded in them.
Each images from 3D Frame Set should be correctly exposed and in-focus.
Images should not contain violence, x-rated content, or any other illegal content.
Images submitted should be digital only. If you would like to submit film/negatives, you must have them scanned into a digital format. Modern scanners can scan negatives and positives at a very low price.
Don't upload repeated shots of the same scene - pick the one image that best represents it, and submit only that one.
Please submit only accurate keywords. Adding extra keywords outside the content in order to come up in search results (spamdexing) will result in your account being suspended. Your title, description, and keywords must accurately reflect the content of the photograph.
Frame set must have at least 6 frames made from different angles.

How to add 3D Frame Set to Gallery?

1. For selling your 3D Frame sets in 3D Photo Stock Gallery you have to have a PayPal account because we use PayPal Mass Payment for sending money. If you do not have yet the PayPal account you can get it right now for FREE

2. Prepare your 3D Frame set. For that you have to do:

Shoot 3D frames.
Improve quality of each frame from set in photo editing software, like Adobe Photoshop. Each images should have similar illumination.
Save your images in JPEG format with maximum quality.
Copy all frames into one folder. The folder must have the name of your 3D picture.
Change the name of your frames in folder as 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg and so on. The picture 1.jpg must be the very left shot of your frame set and (last number).jpg must be very right shot of the frame set.
Burn the folder with your 3D Frame Set on CD or DVD.
CD or DVD can have several 3D Frame Sets that you want to post in 3D Photo Stock Gallery.
Make the sample file. You can open one of your frame in photo editing software, like Adobe Photoshop, resize the picture so as the biggest side of your picture was not bigger then 800 pixels and add the watermark if you need it.

3. Become a member of 3D Photo Stock Gallery. Register. After registration you will get your user name and password by email.

4. As we would like to offer the frame sets with high quality, we strongly recommend you to make at least one 3D lenticular picture with each of your frame sets before uploading them. You have to be sure that your frame set is High Quality standard. You can use for that the Lenticular Tool Kit or any interlacing software like "PhotoProjector", for example.

5. When you made sure that your 3D lenticular picture is High Quality you can upload your sample file to 3D Photo Stock Gallery. Your sample file must be in JPEG format, with the biggest side 800 pixels maximum, if you want you can add a watermark to your image. Go to 3D Photo Stock Gallery and click Login (picture 5)
