@@BenjisAdventures I guess what I meant was install LED strips behind the final layer that goes next to the wall, so you have light from one source radiating through all layers. I think my first comment sounded like putting LED strips behind each individual layer, which was not at all what I meant. Heh
Dude just wanna say - we really appreciate your content. Your output is honestly insane. I know you take breaks, but just know - we appreciate your deeply. I’m glad you are taking care of yourself - don’t burn out because you think we need content every week. You are such a quality artist. We just love seeing your growth and creativity!
I been working with this before… you need to shut the light from the sides, and have a light source from the back, or top/bottom can also work.. also when handling the plates use gloves and use a cleaning spray to remove the static, otherwise they attract dust particles… it’s truly difficult to work with but it can be awesome ! Thumbs up for a first attempt 👍
@@schultzdivision6749 I bet if you glue them together using epoxy, the glass layers wouldn't reflect each object in the layers anymore and also remove the blue tint the glass creates.. They would seem like one thick piece of glass, but still keeping the objects apart... You could test if that's true by putting some water on a pane of glass and placing another layer over top to see if that becomes crystal clear.
I appreciate you bisiting both the positives and negatives in doing this piece. Even though you didn't foresee the glare, experimentation is such a great learning process and I honestly really hope to see more work like this in the future!
Hey Benny, I work for an environmental branding company and create designs similar to what you were working on. Typically, we use standoff systems that include caps and barrels. You can sandwich the acrylic between each barrel, and the final piece of acrylic along with the barrels would be mounted onto a base, such as wood or celtec. Then, it would be mounted on the wall using z-clips or studs because of its weight. Additionally, there are non-reflective acrylic options available that could solve your issue with reflections.
Love the idea! I’m sure you’ll figure out a workaround for the glare issue. And I love that Benny Productions suddenly turned into a woodworking channel for a minute. Keep creating, whatever the medium!
Dannggg !! All of your videos are insane!!! I don't know how much time it takes to make a video look that cool and that detailed, but I can only tell how amazing it is !!!
This is definitely something I’d like to see you try again. Maybe add some strip lighting or something to mitigate the glare (no idea if that would even work 🤷). It was actually really cool seeing the 3D version digitally too. Maybe that’s something else you can play about with, even if it’s only used to show a deconstruction of your art.
You're like a digital Jazza now! I've seen him do this kind of thing but with paintings and it's really cool. Great idea to get them printed like that. I'm curious where you had the prints done. I've wanted to do that and create a light box but not sure where to go.
Wowzers! I am so impressed with this, it looks bloody amazing!! Well done dear chap for creating this and sharing the whole process, it looks incredible, REALLY incredible indeed!! 👏 🔥🔥 and i also tip my hat to you ol' bean! 11/10
I actually tried this a good few years back now but with differences, let me explain. I used to make 3D Decoupage images which is basically taking 6 to 8 images which are the same, then working from background to foreground you cut elements out of the numerous images you have then layer then up using silicone to give the space between the layers and also to stick them in place. I used to make these a lot and sell them around local art and craft shops. YEARS later I thought what about if I do the same thing to my digital artworks. It seemed like a great idea and a way of modernising an old craft skill and bringing a new idea to digital art. The problem I has was, I was printing my own artwork onto papers and very thin card and then having to cut out all the elements like I used to to with a scalpel blade, and this was when I realised that only certain types of art, work with the Decoupage style and cutting out with a blade. If you for example try to cut a photograph with a blade you get a very unrealistic edge on all your elements and it just looks crap. What you have done is a great idea by printing all the layers. The issue I had was when I tried this originally I was using VERY basic graphic software called i-Photo Plus and it didn't use layers as such. Your idea with this has got me thinking again...Oh yeah, I forgot to say I'm 55 years of age now and I was around 20 years of age when I tried all the above. Mike UK
There must be many possibilities using this technique, I would paint the wood black to make it look more striking, great video and I hope you make more like this
make it into a shadow-box to deal with the light, it'll only be visible at night, or in the dark, but still. -Enclose it fully with an extra slot in front. -add an outermost pane that has 1-way mirror film/coating on it. -Add lighting inside along the edges of each pane (wrap each in LED wire and shiny aluminium tape OR mount lights in each groove, at *least* on 2 opposing edges) now, when off, it's a mirror and when on it's a 3d image box!
Oh! I remember! You did a lot more planetary stuff when I first started watching you! And I loved it, I still do. Man what a nostalgia. Always happy to see your video popping up ❤
This is so cool! I loved the effect created by not putting it inside a box, but maybe it'll be a solution for the reflection. Maybe you cab add LED or something like that? Either way, it's an incredible idea. I loved it!
Now the level has increased! Extremely aggregating content and top-notch entertainment! Congratulations Benny, for the effort and quality you put into this video
This is Really Nice Benny, I can see the amount of work you put into this please don't give up on your channel and post you are actually helping many people out
Wow, this is amazing! I love how you took your Photoshop art and brought it to life in 3D. The printing process is so fascinating to watch. Keep up the great work!
Glad you're back and that you gave yourself the time out you needed. Great work as always and enjoyed seeing more of the physical Photoshop process. Would love to see more photo bashing done this way.
Many years ago I did this layered effect with painted stained glass panels of fancy fish, etc. that I designed for a Plaid Ent. Gallery Glass book. In order to have a transparent background I made slotted wood panels for the sides also, like a frame. Thanks for the fun video!
black box w/ a removable side so you can swap the prints later but with leds in between each layer like those infinity tables. then the box has its own light source
You can also make another epoxy panel with white LED inside it to fit it on the back slot and put all the other ones in front of the LED panel, so it will lit up the other images in front of it and you can see it clearly on daylight as well :D
This artwork is epic, please more like this! The whole idea about making 2D into 3D is great! But the best thing - this is the good old benny we missed :) glad to see, that you got your passion and love for the whole thing back! this video is so much more "benny" then the videos from 2023. The reason why i subscribed (and buyed your stuff for supporting you) to your channel years ago was, that you had this unique combination of quality and dumb jokes (or better said - you didn't take it too serious). i learned and loughed so much from your videos. I know, the last time was hard for you... this also reflected on your content... your content felt rushed and without this special-benny-touch... it's hard to describe ^^ but your videos are getting better and better again! Now it feels like you are getting your mojo back :D
I’m glad you feel that way! Didn’t feel like that for me though, I’ve really fallen out of love with this channel and making vids about Photoshop. That’s why I’m more focussed on my other channels🤷🏻♂️
@@BennyProductions i mean it's understandable, but it's very sad :-/ hope you'll find your way back to photoshop someday! But i have a great idea how to ignite your passion for photoshop again! What if you are doing some nice juicy tutorials 😂 everybody knows how you love them! There you go 🔥 Will you still continue the "rate your edit" thing? To be honest, i always wanted to be rated by you 😅
Very cool art and concept. Maybe if the space between the layers instead of being filled with air was filled with some kind of transparent liquid with the same index of refraction as the glass? It would be messy, but probably work
Thats awesome🤩 Maybe this much reflection dont happen when the layers are touching each other with black background I think More space is more light going through
Fantastic work. At the beginning of the video, I really hoped that I could buy such a product (or a similar one) with your designs somewhere. Currently, I wouldn't have space for it anyway, but in a potentially larger apartment, I would love to place it somewhere. Great video as always. Thank you. ♥
You could add some side piece and paint them with vantablack, also the backpiece. Swap out the top piece and build in some led stripes with changable colors. That would/should/could solve all your problems :D
Seen few comments on LEDS behind. I have done this before and what worked amazing is: On the planet layer, if you router the top wood above it or below at bottom hidden and inlay some LEDS it'll light up only that one piece, it will illuminate softly all front ones, it'll also help make the planet look like its glowing. Imagine them illuminated perspex laser engraved signs :), this method makes the whole sheet lightup without it been too bright. EDIT: Another issue that causes a lot of glare is the sides of your perspex is exposed, this causes a lot of glare, you could cover them in an enclosure like top, or mask front and back and apply a nice coat of black paint.
It's a great idea!! I like the direction your videos are going in. Keep doing what you want to, I can guarantee that you'll find a lot of people who love it.
Great video, this is along the lines of the multiplane camera that Disney invented back in the 30s. It allowed for more realistic animation filmmaking to create depth for movies like Snow White and Bambi.
Hey... zag ik daar even Fury voorbijkomen, zeg... 🙂 Die heb ik voor kerst gekregen van zoonlief... (omdat hij van moeders altijd verplicht de "Benny uploads' moet terugkijken, 'want wat voor een kunstwerk hij nóú weer heeft geknutseld...") Die heeft een ereplaatsje in onze kast in de woonkamer. Leuk weer even zo'n mooi project van je te zien en top dat je paps zo met je meedenkt en werkt.
Hi benny, ik werk in print. Wat je zou kunnen doen is 3 lagen. Een full color op achtergrond. Een laag op plexiglas met shadows en 1 laag op plexiglas met highlights. Dit geeft ook een gaaf effect!
You could try museum glass but they will be much thinner layers. I doubt you'll get rid of all of the glare though. Also, you could try using an epoxy to solidify the entire thing, which may help reduce the appearance of all the individual layers. Just food for thought.
