Generate A Trippy Three Dimensional GIF From Any Picture

The Mona Lisa, Leonardo da Vinci

If you've ever wanted to convert the Mona Lisa into a 3D animated GIF where that famous smile is turned into a rotating globulus abstract form, then today is your lucky day. Vince Mckelvie has built a WebGL based website called 3dGif that instantly transforms any two dimensional image into a three dimensional, trippy animation.

Choose any image, be it GIF file, JPEG, or PNG, then paste the URL into the bar found in the upper right-hand corner of the site and then hit "gO!". The WebGL works its magic and textures a 3D setting with your image, consisting of a rotating cube and a strange mutating form at its center. Then just sit back and watch your Friday workload mount up while you watch the resulting visuals and experience a little bit of vertigo.

Check out some stills below which show some of the world's most famous paintings converted into animated 3D GIFs.
