Prosthetic Knowledge Picks: The 3D Gif
In this submission, with the animated GIF format both celebrating it’s 25th birthday and becoming the U.S. word of the year, I take a look at some creative projects which take the 2D format and takes it into another dimensional context.
Included are ‘Gifpumper’, a community GIF collage project which can place a series of GIFs in a 3D space, ‘Animated GIF in 3D’ which displays the GIF frames spatially (bottom left image), ‘GIF 3D Gallery’ which can take a GIF and place it on a virtual gallery plinth (top image), and ‘GLGIF’ (bottom right image), a piece of code which can be set up to create a spinning GIF video wall with music.
Also included to test these projects are GIFs by a few Tumblr artists - DVDP, V5MT and Max Capacity.

A worthwhile read, not only because his work is so satisfying, but also alludes to creativity and Tumblr, and why it’s a great mix.

I made some photos of my late grandparent’s porcelain deer and had fun with 123D Catch. It generates a 3D mesh from ordinary photos.

Music video features a heavy dose of animated GIFs, particularly a number of artists that post their work on Tumblr, such as Max Capacity, DVDP, HaydiRocket, Lovecamp, amongst others.
