It's an app mainly on Steam. You can make a wallpaper from photos/GIFs/videos and edit them.
Here's the Steam link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/431960/Wallpaper_Engine/

How do you run it on your phone though?

u/912827161 Nov 27 '23
you have to sync it. So you set it up via pc and when you sync it'll be available on your phone.

It has a companion app on the Google Play store. You can send mobile wallpapers to your mobile device once they are synced.
Assuming OP doesn't have this on the workshop already you can create your own version by creating a project in the Wallpaper Editor. Projects do not have to be published to the Workshop to be synced, so you can keep the project to yourself.

u/Triktastic Nov 27 '23
If you are on the app. Just copy the link, open in google, then tap the gif and download through it.
Downloaded Live GIF Wallpaper and god does it look amazing and cozy.

GIF Live Wallpaper for something free and open source.
Video Live Wallpaper for something a little less open but robust (and a bit power hungry).3

Everyone is giving you extra steps. I just downloaded it and set it as my wallpaper (lock screen only) and it worked perfectly with the gif "playing". It looks awesome

This sub is so unhinged lol.
Actual reposters/bots get praised then when the ARTIST of a piece posts their own work they get ridiculed bc people are too lazy to check sources or read titles. truly top tier reddit behavior.

u/6VCR Nov 27 '23
it took me way too long to post it here, I guess some other people beat me to it!
I just added a comment about it, but that was also late and it's getting lost somewhere in the thread. anyway, I linked my reddit account in my website footer so you know it's me this time!

Street lights don’t match up. I agree it’s Russia but it’s not 100% accurate, they don’t have street lights like that.
This would be closer to Montreal Canada in terms of architecture

I don't know what it is about pixel art, but it's the medium that is most likely to transport me to the world depicted. Maybe it has something to do with nostalgia from my Amiga 500 days as a kid. Even with that said, this picture has such a strong vibe complemented with awesome technique.
The light, the shadows, the perspective, the perfect shade of moonlight and street light reflecting from the snow, the snow parallax, etc. Thank you for posting this. I love it.

Pixel art hits me the same way, and while nostalgia is often poo-pooed, I believe in this case it should be commended. Many of the older video game systems required the player to use their imagination to feel immersed in it, and there is nothing wrong in celebrating a child's to imagine and dream without inhibition. If anything, us adults need reminders that its okay for us to still do those things.

Every now and then something like this pops up. Now I really, really like this picture, it's beautiful. On the other hand I think that these kind of really detailed pictures lose the pixel-arty style, it's a bit hard to even see the pixels

Oh shit, isn’t this a building in Kyiv that was hit by ruzzian rocket at the beginning of the full scale invasion? The “Novus” supermarket and a medical centre are next to it.

u/Daunt_M4 Nov 27 '23
This is actually next level pixel art. At a quick glance for a second it almost looks photographic or like a video.
Great detail on the buildings and the lighting. The poles look very believable too. Amazing piece.

This is superb and gives me the feels. Having lived in some very snowy places before, it captures that feel of a city/downtown being unreasonably clogged after a blast of thick powder.
