Point cloud effect

A wide room rebuilt as points while one chair in it stays solid. a wide shot of a living room where the walls, floor and doorway are rebuilt out of thousands of small floating dots that hold the real geometry of the space, while one armchair in the middle stays completely solid and photoreal, the dots denser along the corners and the skirting so the shape of the room is readable, a figure walking through the dotted doorway, locked camera

A wide orbit around a figure of points in an empty gallery. a wide shot in an empty gallery where a standing figure is rebuilt out of thousands of small floating dots on a plain plinth, the camera making a slow full orbit around it, the far-side dots visible faintly through the near side so the volume reads as hollow, the solid plinth and solid gallery walls staying photoreal so the difference is obvious

An orbit proves the cloud has real volume rather than sitting flat. a person rebuilt out of thousands of small floating dots standing in a dark void, the camera orbiting them steadily from the front around to the profile, the dots on the far side of the body showing faintly through the near side so the cloud reads as a hollow volume rather than a flat plane, the silhouette staying correct at every angle

The floating points fall inward and the figure returns to solid. a person standing as a cloud of thousands of small floating dots in a dark room, the dots drawing inward toward the surface they describe and closing into solid photoreal skin and clothing from the feet upward, the last dots settling across the face, the finished person then taking one step forward completely solid, locked camera

A standing figure turns into thousands of floating points that keep its shape. a person standing still in a dark empty room in full solid detail, their surface breaking into thousands of small floating dots that keep the exact shape of the head, shoulders and arms, the dots denser along every edge and sparse across the flat of the chest so the body still reads clearly, the floor behind staying solid and ordinary for contrast, locked camera

A loose scatter of dots tightens until the figure becomes readable. a loose scatter of a few hundred small floating dots hanging in a dark room with no readable shape, more dots arriving steadily and the scatter tightening until a seated person is unmistakable in it, the dots packing closest along the jaw, the knuckles and the knees and staying sparse elsewhere, the chair beneath staying solid and ordinary, slow push in

A wide scatter of points settles into two solid people. a wide shot of a dark stage where a broad scatter of small floating dots hangs with no readable shape, the dots drawing inward and settling into two people standing a few metres apart, both fully solid and photoreal by the end with the dots gone, the boards beneath them solid throughout, slow crane down

The dotted figure stays rebuilt and moves, the points travelling with the body. a person made entirely of thousands of small floating dots standing in a dark studio, the cloud holding the shape of the body continuously as they breathe and turn their head, each dot travelling with the surface it belongs to instead of resetting, the dots at the shoulder separating slightly as the arm lifts and closing again as it lowers, locked camera

A wide street breaks into dots from the far end toward the camera. a wide shot down a quiet street, the far end breaking into thousands of small floating dots that keep the exact shape of the parked cars, kerbs and railings, the change travelling steadily toward camera until the near pavement is dots as well, the walkers inside the dotted zone still readable as figures, the sky unchanged above, slow push in

One side of a face is solid while the other stands as floating points. a close portrait of a person in a dim room, the left half of the face solid and photoreal with normal skin, the right half of the same face rebuilt out of thousands of small floating dots that follow its exact contour, the boundary running straight down the nose and holding steady as they blink and speak, warm light on the solid half and cool light through the dots
