Faceted Triangles

Creates a true low-poly surface with flat triangular facets. Each triangle is a distinct flat plane with randomized vertex displacements, producing the iconic paper-craft or polygonal art aesthetic. The effect uses barycentric interpolation to guarantee geometrically flat facets that catch light at different angles.

Parameters

Columns (N)
Number of triangle columns around the circumference. Lower values create larger, bolder facets.
Rows (N)
Number of triangle rows along the height. Controls the vertical density of the facet grid.
Depth (mm)
Maximum displacement of the facet vertices. Higher values create more dramatic, sculptural forms.
Seed
Randomization seed for vertex displacements. Change this to generate different facet patterns with the same grid size.
