PSX-style 3D scan converter. Prototype / research tool.
lofiscan-banner.mp4
lofi-scan takes hi-res 3D-scanned objects and converts them into PS1-style low-poly, low-res assets. Instead of fixed presets, it runs a per-object adaptive search to find the minimum polygon count and texture resolution that still keeps the object recognizable. Built as a research tool and interactive viewer, currently in active development.

| PSX shader with dithering and CRT effects | High-detail model: Barong |
- Adaptive decimation: finds the minimum poly count and texture resolution per object, rather than fixed presets
- Real-time PSX shader: vertex snapping, affine UV mapping, ordered dithering, and CRT effects in the viewport
- Texture baking: hi-res to lo-res bake via Blender headless; preserves original UVs through COLLAPSE decimation
- Color 3D print export: .3mf with per-face vertex colors, palette quantization, and optional mesh subdivision
- Turntable video export: records 360° rotation and encodes to mp4 or gif via Python, no ffmpeg install required
- HTML viewer export: self-contained interactive 3D viewer with PSX effects for sharing
Most PSX-style converters apply a fixed poly count or texture size. lofi-scan treats conversion as a search problem: it finds the minimum settings that still preserve recognizability for each specific object, which varies significantly across geometry types. The result log makes it usable as a repeatable research pipeline, not just a one-off aesthetic filter.

Prototype - built as part of ongoing research into perceptual quality thresholds for stylized 3D assets. Not production-ready. Feedback and issues welcome.
