Helios, redrawn sixty times a second

Medium: JavaScript, canvas 2D, one museum scan

The head at the top of this page. A public-domain scan of a plaster Helios, 2,003,100 triangles, reduced offline to 90,000 surface points with baked occlusion. Every frame it is rotated, splatted into a z‑buffer whose resolution is the dot grid, and ordered-dithered into two matched hue ramps. Then it gets sliced, offset, and the colours flip across the cuts. No WebGL, no mesh at runtime, 630 KB on the wire.

Further objects are being accessioned.
