Scanline Relief

Layered scanlines bend into a relief surface, producing a dimensional silhouette from phase displacement, edge light and local pointer depth.

• Framed media
• Vector studies
• Focused product surfaces

• Analytic relief field keeps lines continuous at every bend
• Edge light derives from local displacement slope
• Pointer depth deforms the surface without broken joints
• A component-specific renderer and control contract—not a palette swap of another release
• Compact and full previews share one visibility-aware production renderer

Adaptive sampling, capped DPR and visibility-based suspension keep the renderer predictable. Test density on low-power mobile hardware before increasing it.

Pointer and touch coordinates are container-scoped; offscreen renderers stop work and pixel ratio is capped.

The visual canvas is decorative by default. Pair it with a semantic heading or description, and reduced motion holds a stable rendered frame.
