Didn't work on me.
I didn't understand what the "visual effect" is supposed to be until I read the description.
I still see animated 2D GIFs with bars over them (=no real difference if the bars were removed).

Video can be muted with the tag itself. The only advantage of GIF is like you said - you can use it in any place where images are supported (forums and etc.) and video is not. On the sites where you have control over the tags GIFs are counterproductive. For example they are way bigger for the same length of video.
From a user point of view, you can be sure that a site with pictures, including GIFs, won't play sound, that's what I meant. On the other hand, users don't have to know whether the HTML they are served have s or s, so this could all be done behind the scenes, I guess.
True but users would prefer GIFs if they want to save/repost elsewhere. Serving them video would break this.

TIL There is a subreddit for this. http://www.reddit.com/r/bubbling .
I'm more surprised these days when there isn't a subreddit for something...
Actually I found out one. There is no Hale Berry subreddit. And even after I made a TIL post nobody cared :)

The bars aren't over them; at some point they appear to be below some parts, which is what gives the 3D effect.
Re: 3D GIFs Created with a Simple Visual Effect
#86Why specifically GIFs? It's a generic animation technique, works with any video format. As was pointed out many times, if you have control over your site, don't use GIFs for video and animation. Use proper video formats (WebM and etc.). It will only save space and loading time and improve quality.
Basically: GIFs autoplay on people's Tumblr dashboards, proper video formats don't, and that's pretty much all people are trying to achieve in the first place. If we just had some sort of file-extension/media-type (.webg, maybe?) that signalled to a browser "I'm a video container, but treat me like a gif, by defaulting to autoplaying, looping, and muting me", we'd replace gifs instantly.
Gif is also a non-lossy format (albeit with a limited palette). Pretty much all video codecs are lossy. What will really replace GIF is animated PNG.

#87In my opinion it's very clever and interesting, but it's not particularly nice. It's very obvious in it's cleverness.

what a useless statement.
Re: 3D GIFs Created with a Simple Visual Effect
#89Kinda reminds of that other visual effect, where they add circles to a photo and give the illusion of the people in the picture being naked. Won't post the link here cause NSFW, but I can imagine it being a related effect: adding visual markers to change perception.
The interesting effect of bubbling is not so much that people appear naked, but that the original picture, containing clothed people (typically bikinis), appear naked.
The meaning of this statement is that bubbling is basically covering up more of the body then the bikini. So, technically a bikini reveals more than a bubbled bikini.

In case anyone has trouble searching for this, the term you're looking for is 'bubbling'. Parent poster has already warned you that this could presumably be considered NSFW somewhere (apparently)

reddit won't load for me now, but it's where it began in /r/pics I believe, I remember the guy who mentioned it he's a Mormon and would do this to Sears catalogue models, it was his only source of porn.
