halftone-display

How-to

1. Install some python packages. We need numpy, pillow, scikit-learn, matplotlib, and trimesh.
2. Run gen_ht_data_for_three.py. This generates the halftone data, namely where the center of the halftones are (but that has some bugs).
3. Run project-halftones.py. You can have it either generate short metadata, which only contains light information, or long metadata, which contains the full mesh information.
4. Install some node packages.
5. Run generate_meshes.js using node. (TODO: move this into python so I can combine everything into one script? Just need a basic CSG routine to do subtractions, does that exist in trimesh?)
6. Run the code in merge-meshes.py.
7. Serve the site!
