As someone that made a bunch of 3d MTG cards, this is very interesting. I'm very jealous of your laser cut top-deck plastic and your aligning tool. Doing it by hand is much more work, hahaha
Amazing job!

I understand the appeal of these made in a quicker way, so I'll refrain from "things that require too much detail", but here are some suggestions:

1) cover the outsides so you don't see the layers. In your case, since you are using foam to bulk them (very clever, btw), I'm not sure what paint would be best. Probably something like acrylic, since it can go on thicker.

2) when you have dark images, you can run a fine-liner ink pen on the edges you just cut to paint it black. It helps with masking the cut edges and imperfections

3) As you probably won't have time to cover-paint the backgrounds, one other thing you can do is cut away "repeated" layer images. For example, in the Haunter card, his left hand in the foreground. If, in the layer below it (the one with the main body) you cut away the art of the left hand, when you place the top layer (the one with only the left hand) it will look even more 3D and it won't have the repeating misaligned art right below it. You could do something similar for the Charmander's tail and body.

Overall, this was and absolute success! Fantastic work!
I love your use of foam to bulk the cards and the fact that you protected the cards with a plastic top deck layer. I started doing it for my counters and it makes it so much easier to manipulate the cards without worry.

Hey Jazza really hope you see this. A couple of tips I’ve seen that improves the quality of 3d cards is to run a black marker around the white edge of your cuts and to use those weird metal clay tools to make your pieces 3D by making them curved or folded. Like if you put the energy ball into a curved object and applied pressure it would create almost a semi spherical shape. Cheers love ya work

[petercrites]

I think finding a way to clean up the cut edges would really send these to the next level. Maybe by painting them either black or white, or just cutting them in a different way.

[Echo-dhhx]

I think that for the energies you could use cabochons, those glass fish-eye thingies with a flat back. It would make them look more 3d and shiny with less cutting up and layering. Also to make everything more professional you could paint the sides of the cut outs black, and maybe paint over the area where the foreground objects will be placed on the backround layers, to enhance the 3d effect. I'm looking foward to see the whole deck!!

I love how MJ learned how to play into dad’s ego…
Jazza: Which ones the best?
MJ: All of them

[MasterTheik]

The only thing I can think off to improve them even further is to clean up the edges. You can now rather clearly see that it's multiple layers of card/foam stuck together if you look at the side edge of the card. Somehow covering that up with tape or paint or something would go a long way to making it look even more "real" and less "cards stuck together".

[Randy-lrrj]

How about adding depth to the energy cards by adding a middle layer that is clear or acrylic and using that for the "glow" of the energy? Could open up the option of really blending the aura or adding sparks.

[SamuraiPipotchi]

I can see where that person was going with painting some of the background.
I feel like certain cards - like charmander or the potion - would have looked a lot more 3D if I couldn't see the duplicates behind them.

Might be worth experimenting with gluing the cards to foam before cutting them. That, and thinner layering material if possible.

[kingpedero]

Making a deck would be really cool, but imagine the height of the deck. Shuffling the deck would be pain 😂😂🤣

But if you wanna make a full deck you could make the new Regigigas deck from astral radiance. The deck is busted and there’s no ultra rare in the deck, so you don’t have to cut valuable cards.

[whiteraven]

Maybe you could try filling the gaps with resin (possibly colored) to give the cards more strength and more depth. The resin might also be able to hide the sharp edges of every layer

[finian]

If you do want to make a full deck, you'll definitely need to make sure each card is the same thickness to make it harder to tell which card is which from the side.

[fernasim]

I’ve never really been into Pokémon, much less Pokémon cards, but these videos are some of my favorites on Jazza’s channel!

[lildjxfactor]

I would recommend probably going for a starter or trail deck. Just because they usually consist of multiple copies of cards/Pokémon and you get a bunch of energy along with it. So that would be quite useful compared to buying multiple packs and getting different ratio of cards/Pokémon.

[Diamond]

The fact that your son immediately said you could battle with them and loved all of them instantly made me really happy, hnnn-

[ConnorSinclairCavin]

Doing this fused with the acrylic layers box trick you learned before would likely make for an amazing effect as you could also add in transparent flowing energy effects

[ThaAwsomness]

If you decide to make a full deck of 3d cards, you should make sure that they are all the same thickness that way there is less of a chance to know what card youre going to get before you pull it.

[xerra]

There are Pokemon 3D artists who still pour resin over the Pokemon and bend and crease the Pokemon a bit and carve the background to make the 3D effect even better.
You should try that too Jazza !

[dpvandeven]

2 suggestions: 1. Darken the side edges of the card the white foam doesn’t work for me. Outside of the deck but also inside. Or buy black foam. 2. The layers further away have still the item in the front. With paint you can remove the item in front so the 3D effect will be more applicable!

[Jubbano]

9:07 :0 didn’t know how u could make it better, but u did the impossible jazza

[connormcpherson]

I know the Haunter was probably harder to do, but the effect was SO GOOD. PLEASE do a deck that lets you flex those creative muscles with the body parts spacing. Personally, I'd vote for either water, due to the variety of background effects you could beautifully 3D-ize, or bug, due to their wicked proportions.
