A Simple Trick Makes These 3D Gifs Pop Out Of The Screen At You

A new trick has been circulating among gif creators that allows them to create animated images with a convincing 3D aspect.

The trick is simple but deceptive – these gifs’ creators use white lines to split the images into 3 panels. That way, elements of the animated images can “pop” out of the frame in front of the white lines and toward the viewer. The trick works because the white lines establish a clear reference point for the foreground, or “screen,” if you’d like to think of it that way. Once the action in the image seems to pass in front of those white lines, our brain is fooled into thinking that the action has moved out in front of the foreground.

There isn’t any one specific person creating gifs like these. If you’d like to see more, check out the #3d gifs tag on Tumblr, which has submissions from tons of gif creators.

3D Pencil Drawings by Alessandro Diddi

Italian illustrator Alessandro Diddi erases the line between fiction and reality and makes his 3D drawings leap out of the sheet of paper. Besides light and shadow effects, Alessandro also uses various props, his own hands and even the very pencil he draws with to make his anamorphic drawings come alive when viewed from a certain angle.

“I want my drawings to put across the message that the eye can trick the mind and make you believe that there are dimensions that are not really there,” says Alessandro.

The artist also stresses that it isn’t ”necessary to consume a large amount of resources to achieve something interesting. All you need is a pencil and something to draw on, and you can create something really magical.”And his work certainly proves his words!
