[00]The cloud
a point-cloud is a thousand decisions averaged into a shape
Substrate
2D canvas · up to 4200 points, density-capped to screen area
Forms
bloom · orb · twin · ring · helix — five lobe layouts, switchable live
Palettes
sunset · aurora · ion · ember
Case
faint 3D wireframe cube · tilts with the pointer
Reaction
pointer repel + vortex · spring back to home · manual disturb impulse
Status
🟢 contained · contrast AA · reduced-motion freezes the cloud
[01]Six samples
the particle vocabulary, isolated · scroll to reveal
01 · point cloud
Shape from scatter
No mesh, no model — just points placed by gaussian clusters. Density makes the silhouette; the live hero above is the full version.
02 · hot core
Heat at centre
Colour mapped to radius.
03 · glass case
Held in a box
A frosted plane and a wire cube imply a specimen under display glass.
04 · density
Grain as texture
Up close it's dots; from across the room it's a solid, glowing body.
05 · spectrum
Four palettes
Swap them in the console.
06 · volume
The series' first cloud
001–005 were surfaces — flat, printed, liquid. 006 is the first that's made of volume: thousands of independent bodies averaging into one.

Field note: five forms × four palettes × continuous scatter / swirl / grain / density is a lot of specimen from one particle function. The console's own preview canvas and the hero run two instances of the same particle system, kept in lockstep — every control fires its setter on both at once, so what you see here is exactly what's happening above.
