    Great video, not often designers document their crazy designs for fun, nor 3d print them with such machines. I'm definitely looking forward to more of such projects, I really enjoy to see the design process, so well explained and recorded. It can surely inspire many young designers, while giving the others some insights about 3d software and hardware that they are not familiar with.

    Honestly, if you applied the wind effect to aviator-esque frames. A little thicker to get the 3 dimensional effect of the inner design, with the filled in area above the bridge, I think you'd have a fashionable and wearable set of shades, which is rather impressive. I could definitely see more fashion-oriented folk gravitating towards it over tradition aviators.

    3:41 Some theories ; Getting weird with Animation through parallax , depth , light and maybe Lenticular/stereogram effects? 3D printing is cutting the industry muscle memory built on the limits of being injection mold friendly. Since your working with material-control from most angles a designer can choose where transparency/layers happens. So to a degree where the laminations will be, and air gaps, and thus some control over internal refraction. Theory #1: print the glasses so the layers are ~45 degrees when facing the front of the glass 👁/👁 and also the slicing is rotated back like ~5 degrees so that an onlooker looking at someone wearing the glasses has a deeper(more layered) view into the glasses structure in one eye than the other eye than they would get via normal refractions from material layering, coloring, and air gaps. Add in lenticular[1] ribs at those differences at the slicing layers for different parts of the image. If your able to control perceived depth over actual monocular depth now you don't just have sunglass frames you have visual frames to build animation; though only 2fps 🤔. Lenticular 3D printing Taken to an extreme you could have wind & fire glasses but one is only seen from above the other below, or left & right. Theory #2 For fire, lightning, caustics, etc there's also building in light tunnels of different clarity strengths to "animate" internal coloring highlights; think solar daylighting tubing or fiberoptic light to propagate light through a structure. 4:15 For water glasses I wonder if you could fake casting caustics throughout the frames directed onto the lenses themselves. Imagine someone on the beach with the sun behind them and their lenses start visually scintillating like the bottom of a clear blue pool of caustics. Wild theory: with depth control of material stereopsis is also controllable so if not animation maybe illusionary depth like in a stereogram 🤔. [1] last year MIT printed lenticular surfaces, I haven't seen anyone doing internal lenticular structures yet. I think they also worked with stratasys(or at least one of their 3D printers) "Jiani Zeng, Honghao Deng, Yunyi Zhu, Michael Wessely, Axel Kilian, and Stefanie Mueller. 2021. Lenticular Objects: 3D Printed Objects with Lenticular Lens Surfaces That Can Change their Appearance Depending on the Viewpoint."

    For water not having to design with molds in mind means asymmetry will probably be a more common expression with 3D printing. For water I'd wonder what something a bit more extreme like the Kanagawa wave would look like on/inside frames. Or other marine dioramas for that matter, I don't think I've ever seen a pair of fishbowl lenses with scenes of actual fishes/beaches/marine-living in them. 3D printing also means personalization, parameterization design, will become more and more important. So a buyer could choose not only which side has the the waves leaning but the size of the waves ; which could be in tandem with a tool to help the wear proportion their faces to their "best side". Or in diorama style frames they choose the type of fish, positions, etc.

    16:35 Wind frames hit the most marks by far, it conveys depth even through static images; Maybe some 360 turntable yt shorts? The 14:05 water and fire almost seem like frames that have been hydro dipped( i am on a potato screen sorry). I'm assuming still images leave out a lot making everything flatter than they are. Lke 15:51 fire does hint a bit of an internal world of fire but not much. The earth glasses could be called ice glasses.
