How do I make a point cloud?

Drop the clip in, tune density, point size and colour mode, export MP4.

What is a point cloud?

A set of points in 3D space. LiDAR scanners and photogrammetry produce them to represent surfaces. This tool reads that look from a flat video.

Yes. MP4 drops into Resolume, VDMX, OBS. Particles on black layer cleanly with screen or add blending.

What do the colour modes do?

Original keeps the source. Thermal maps brightness to blue / red / yellow. Neon runs cyan / magenta / green. Mono paints every point in one colour.

Point Cloud

Point Cloud turns any clip into a live 3D particle field. Flat footage ends up reading like a LiDAR scan or photogrammetry capture. Same look you see in TouchDesigner or Processing installations, no code.

Tips

Low density (2–3) for a dense photoreal cloud; high (8–10) for sparse and abstract.
Thermal mode on dark footage reads like an infrared scan.
Push the depth slider for heavier 3D parallax. High-contrast footage benefits most.
Background brightness at 0 keeps the classic particles-on-black; lift it for a floating read.
