Want to keep a sweet reminder of your first home or a beloved family car? At ArtPix 3D, we can engrave a variety of photos inside your 3D Crystal, not just people and pets. Here are some tips to help you choose a great photo of a building, vehicle, or other object that means a lot to you!
- As a general rule, make sure that anything you want to see in your engraving is visible in your photo. Our 3D Models are 180°, which means that we’re only able to engrave what appears in your image. While we do add depth to your engraving, we do not generate additional content to display the way that the sides and back of your photo would look. This is especially important to remember when choosing a photo of your car since typically you’ll only be able to see one side out of four.
-
For vehicles, the best photo angle is a head-on view of the front of the car where some of the roof is visible. It can help if the camera is slightly tilted downward to capture a little more of the top.
- There are some photos of buildings that we may not be able to engrave in 3D. If there are multiple buildings in your picture, or if there are a lot of intricate details, your engraving may look better in 2D. You can email us at info@artpix3d.com if you have any doubts about your photo, and we’ll help you figure out the best option for your custom crystal.
