see http://amasci.com/holo/ Scratch-holograms can be made on CD cases using a couple of thumbtacks poked through a stick. Or get fancy and use a professional compass and black painted polycarbonate. Or automate the process with a paperclip stuck into a motorized electric eraser.

  • For going through ...

    For going through the surface... the closer a point is to the surface, the smaller is the radius of the curved scratch. A point *on* the plastic becomes a single dot, and points *above* the plastic (that are out in the air) have backwards scratches. They are U shaped instead of arches.

    So a line that passes through the plastic is made of scratches whose radius gets smaller and smaller, then becomes a dot, then turn upside-down and get bigger again.

    > but i dont get the opaque thing and how to stick the point of a cube "through"

    The "opaque" trick is in the 2003 invited paper. It's a bit hard to figure out. Simplest is to draw a vertical floating line, then use the described process to draw a cloud of deeper stars as if the vertical line is the edge of a black wall. For each star, the scratch ends differently depending on how close the star will be to the vertical edge.

  • I get your point. ...

    I get your point. But I was thinking of some kind of ink type, as in only visible through certin angles. It could appear like the colours on a soap bubble. Going with that concept, it might work.

    Errr in order for this to work, sun has to go through some holes, making them visible, and not others, making them not visible.

    The tattoo thing wouldnt work (at least with this method ._.)

    I can't make holograms! Boo hoo. I've tried and tried, ruined my sticky tape container, and half-destroyed my dvd- case, and not a single scratch does anything.

    This is so cool! I have done a few, but nothing meaningful in 3-d yet. A good material to practice and experiment on is a 2-liter coke bottle. Cut the middle section of the bottle out with scissors - or don't cut the bottle and the image will be narrower from the curvature. This soft plastic grooves easily and you probably already have everything you need to start. Very interesting!
