KNM 3D is a new media work I developed with the Ensemble KNM Berlin, a contemporary music ensemble.

The work is a 3D web experience. The ensemble's musicians (double bass, cello, clarinet, flute and violin) were scanned in three dimensions with their instruments, and their models appear as point clouds that the audience can explore, zoom, rotate, and switch on and off in the browser. A control panel lets visitors change parameters such as point size, transparency or rotation speed in real time. In parallel I explored transformations of the same models in TouchDesigner.

Concept, development and programming: Hugo Solís, with Three.js. Supported by the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, Lerma campus, through the research projects of the Department of Arts and Humanities.
