Co.De. blog Isotope Image sampler | [Complex Geometry] This is an old excercise I developed some time ago; a short definition that translates any bitmap, given in any compatible format (.png, .jpg, .jpeg, .tif, .tiff, .bmp) into a point cloud and, by using the saturation values of the image, returns a group of circles redrawing the original image, like some kind of “pixels”. This kind of processes is widely used in architecture and design this days, you can find several examples of perforated metal panels used as external skins or as space dividers in several kind of buildings. You can download the definition and example file from the following link.
