Turn an Escher painting into a 3D fly-through video with GPT Codex + MiniMax H3

bennash shares a prompt-only workflow that turns an M.C. Escher painting into a stylized 3D fly-through video: create a local project in ChatGPT's Codex, paste the image, ask it to "build this," add surrounding arena geometry, render a clay-style camera fly-through, and slice it into segments.

Then have ChatGPT restyle the Escher image as a photoreal 1980s-fantasy texture, and use MiniMax (minimaxh3) Design prompts to restyle each video segment with that texture — the whole process took only minutes.
