I originally started experimenting with reconstructing real world objects from images with GPT-6 Astra and Blender. One of those experiments was this chair: https://simulationcorner.net/chair/chair-evolution.gif That made me wonder what would happen if I tried the same idea with old computer game graphics instead.

It's been quite fun working on this, so I wanted to share it in case any of you are looking for something similar.

Hi all, I wanted to share a recent library I made for myself since I continually have to work with large-scale point data spanning millions of rows.

It uses a modified Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) approach: instead of having to traverse every single point for every single grid O(N*M), it precalculates which points intersect which grids.
