Hi! My goal is to turn a 2d image (or eventually video) into a swarm of connected points outlining the original image according to its luminance using jit.gl.mesh. From my understanding of jit.gl.mesh, you would have to input a 3d shape similar to the sort of shape that you can get from jit.gl.gridshape, hence the idea of turning the brightness value of a point of the original picture into a "y" value on a 3d shape (that would resemble a plane with bumps in it). I don't know if this is even doable or if there is a simpler way to get similar results...

Any help appreciated, thanks in advance!

wow this is really what I was thinking of. Thanks a lot!

In the patch you posted in the topic you are referring to, I can't select tri_grid as draw_mode in mesh, as I end up with not points but a solid 3d plane... Any ideas on why that is?

Nevermind... I just had to select a different poly_mode
