how it holds together
01 / depth

True relief, one photo

A monocular network reads Tunnel View once at build time. The browser displaces 50,000 vertices by that depth every frame — no mesh, no scan, just parallax.

02 / color

Posterized, on purpose

Hue snaps to 8 steps, value to 12. An 8×8 Bayer matrix breaks every band into grain, so gradients shimmer instead of striping. The pixels are the signature.

03 / light

Day into sunset

One uniform crossfades the grade — warm bodies, hotter skies. Distant air drifts on a slow shimmer while the foreground holds still.
