What Is DMesh
DMesh, designed by Dofl Y.H. Yun, is a custom creative application that turns images into techy artwork. It works by analyzing an image and generating a triangulation pattern for a beautiful finished product. To build the program, Dofl employed a groundbreaking mix of computer vision technologies to make DMesh for someone without any design background.
Since its release, DMesh has taken the media by storm. It’s been featured in the Creative Applications Network, Creativity Magazine and Fastcodesign. Dofl continues to field requests from professional motion designers and 3D animations, and expects to continue adding features and adapting DMesh for the people who use it for a very long time.
Tutorial
Key Features
Auto Point Generation
DMesh provides auto-generated points, which is useful for people doing animations or larger batches of images. Where other tools only allow manual use, DMesh analyzes the image, adds points and plays with the density accordingly while reducing noise in the mesh.
Dynamic Mesh Density Control
This allows users to control number of mesh dynamically so realistic result having more meshes or abstract one having less meshes can be made easily.
Manual Point Editing Tool
Control the number of mesh points dynamically: add more for a realistic result, or subtract to make the image more abstract.
Export as ...
DMesh suports exporting images as bitmaps, vectors or 3D data for maximum flexibility and scope.
Working with Sequenced Images
Import/export sequenced images automatically, making it easier for motion designers. Video import/export is in the works.
Download
The table below shows each feature of DMesh, DMesh Pro and DMesh for iPhone. DMesh Pro goes beyond the basics to expertly handle animation: it loads, processes and exports sequenced images so the results can stand alone or as elements for additional work. Because it has a cost, Dofl uses it to target professional users and tries to continue adding the features they need.

FAQ
Q. I can't figure out how to zoom out through?
A. The current version doesn't have zoom-in/out functions and display 100% scale image. The reason why I did this way is for the performance. DMesh recommends using smaller than your screen resolution for tht reason and supports Vector format export to get high resolution image. Especially Pro version allows to control density of mesh so you can get same result below.
High resolution + low density mesh = low resolution + high density mesh
Q. DMesh on Mac crashes with each start or resizing window.
A. DMesh uses Graphic card power to get best performance. Unfortunately some graphic cards on Macs would makes crash you already met. We strongly recommend to test DMesh (Free version) before buying Pro version to check if DMesh works properly on your system
