Model to Splats

Tap to lift the splats off the model; they settle back. Pick or open a model in the Splash tab.

A 3D model is usually a mesh: a net of flat triangles with colors or a picture (a texture) painted on them. This splash turns a mesh into splats. It scatters points across the surface, more of them where the shape bends sharply or is finely made, and lays a small flat splat on each one, facing the way the surface does. Each splat is sized to its neighbors so the surface closes with no gaps, and takes its color from the texture at that spot. Sharp edges stay sharp.

Tap to lift every splat into a loose cloud and watch each one settle back into its own place. Show: Wireframe draws the mesh's own edges as thin splats, so you can see what the splats were made from. Open a .glb, .gltf, .obj or .stl in the Splash tab (select a model's other files with it); it is converted on your device and never uploaded.
