Local creative-tool prototype
Light into points.
Motion into texture.
A local image and motion studio exploring how familiar surfaces become grayscale point artwork.

A different way to see.
Pointloom began with the artwork for my portfolio. Its early converter estimates surface depth, samples XYZ positions and renders grayscale dots on black, with still-image and silent-video exports.
Choose a source
Work with a local image or short video. The converter currently accepts files up to 50 MB.
Reconstruct a surface
Inferred depth provides an approximate surface; optical flow follows motion between video frames.
Make it a loop
Export a PNG or silent MP4, with an optional forward-and-reverse video loop.
Where it stands
Still building.
Still learning.
This is a local prototype, not an online upload service. Video processing uses the first eight seconds at 20 fps. Automatic background removal currently handles plain near-white backgrounds.
More about this project
The sculpture above is a refined portfolio study using inferred depth. It is not a measured LiDAR scan or a promise that every input produces this result.
