Try Teardown free →Explodes ONE image into a scatter of overlapping windows, each a crop of the same source taken from the wrong place — sitting at one point on screen but sampling the picture from another, at its own zoom, so the image is recognisable but displaced and pulled apart. Some windows show the crop cleanly (desaturated so the accents carry the colour); others quantise it into chunky blocks in a hot palette, gated to the darker tones, so the pixel masses cling to hair and shadow rather than filling a rectangle. Over the top sits a network of thin lines wiring the windows together at their corners, orange numbered header tabs, and floating code labels (rectH=50; midX=(startX+endX)/2; volume=width*height*depth; …) each trailing a stray decimal. The whole layout reconfigures on a beat — a set number of re-rolls per loop, holding between and landing back on the first, so it exports seamlessly. Controls: window count, size range, displacement, zoom and spread; pixel-window share, block size, tone gate, accent palette and dither; wiring density, colour, weight and nodes; label density and colour, header tabs and colour; background, desaturation, contrast and window outline; reconfigure rate and speed. Drops onto any image or video layer; with nothing below it uses a synthesized portrait so the effect still reads.
