RSH reference / 03

Imagery.
Form, in the open.

A field of points, sculptural sources and room to read. These still specimens use the site’s geometry functions. They explain the construction; they are not captures of the complete WebGL experience.

An octahedron built from fine white points on a dark field.

01 / Field atlas

One language. Seven conditions.

Use form to give an idea shape. Use space to keep it readable. The same geometry can carry a whole composition or a deliberate detail, but its construction should remain recognisable.

Clear structure: a static point-cloud specimen derived from the RSH field geometry.

octahedron / selected reference

Clear structure

Open a defined idea with a complete, legible silhouette.

Directional gesture: a static point-cloud specimen derived from the RSH field geometry.

tetrahedron / selected reference

Directional gesture

A compact, pointed form for a deliberate transition.

Measured surface: a static point-cloud specimen derived from the RSH field geometry.

cube / selected reference

Measured surface

Ordered volume, a visible edge, or an explicitly labelled detail.

Faceted volume: a static point-cloud specimen derived from the RSH field geometry.

icosahedron / selected reference

Faceted volume

Leave enough space for the facets to read as one body.

Dense assembly: a static point-cloud specimen derived from the RSH field geometry.

dodecahedron / selected reference

Dense assembly

Keep the whole silhouette when the construction is the subject.

Open condition: a static point-cloud specimen derived from the RSH field geometry.

scatter / selected reference

Open condition

An unresolved field before form; keep reading space clear.

Quiet interval: a static point-cloud specimen derived from the RSH field geometry.

void / selected reference

Quiet interval

A sparse, offset composition beside sustained reading.

02 / Placement

Give each image a job.

A whole form introduces. An edge explains. A quiet field makes room. These are authored derivatives, with the change of scale made explicit.

An offset, complete octahedron with open space for an opening statement.
Opening / complete form, offset composition.
A deliberately enlarged detail of the point-cloud cube.
Detail / intentional crop, never presented as the whole form.

The reading interval.

Keep the text plane clear. Let a sparse field sit alongside a passage rather than compete with it. On a narrow screen, stack the image after the words.

Sparse particles offset toward the edge, leaving a quiet reading area.

03 / Sculptural sources

A source has a context.

These existing identity sources inform the particle masks and portrait studies. They are contextual material, not a stock library or evidence of client work.

Source, use and motion.

The geometry lives in the repository; the still generator is scripts/generate-field-reference.cjs. Preserve the authored viewBox. Name a crop as a detail. Write alternative text for the image’s role in its actual placement; use empty alt text only when the image repeats nearby information.

RSH reference use is recorded here. No blanket redistribution licence is asserted. Existing portraits retain their project source and rights records; do not recast them as stock assets.

Movement needs an ending.

For animated use, test arrival, the transition and the quiet state. Keep the reading plane stable, respect reduced motion, and make play or replay deliberate. These reference specimens rest as still images; the full field experience belongs in its own context.

The design system, component catalog and this imagery reference are code-owned. Sanity owns editorial content separately. Source and placement records are available in the reference manifest.
