GLB to Point Cloud

In Canvas Studio, the Point Cloud toggle converts a GLB mesh into a field of particles that preserves the model’s overall form while giving it a lightweight, dynamic feel. Instead of solid geometry, the object is represented by thousands of sampled points, allowing for interactive effects like motion, repulsion, and level-of-detail scaling that respond smoothly to user input and camera distance. You can turn any GLB into a Point Cloud by toggling on Point Cloud in Additional Options in the Elements section of the Elementor editor.

pointSize – controls the visual size of each particle in world units.
overrideColor – forces all particles to use a single color instead of the original material data.
colorOverride – defines the color applied when overrideColor is enabled.
autoRotate – continuously rotates the point cloud around its origin for ambient motion.
mouseRepel – pushes particles away from the cursor position for interactive distortion.
repelStrength – sets how strongly particles are pushed when mouse repel is active.
repelRadius – defines the area of influence around the cursor for repulsion.
returnSpeed – controls how quickly particles return to their original positions after being displaced.
lodDistance1 – first distance threshold for reducing particle density.
lodDistance2 – second distance threshold for further particle reduction.
lodDistance3 – far-distance threshold for minimal particle density.
highSamples – particle count used at the closest level of detail.
medSamples – particle count for mid-range viewing distances.
lowSamples – reduced particle count for distant views.
veryLowSamples – minimal particle count for extreme distances.

By combining particle density controls, interaction forces, and LOD distances, GLB to Point Cloud lets you balance visual richness with performance while adding a sense of motion and depth.
