The bright shirt/face highlights were packing in so many stipple dots they read as a blown-out white blob. Add a highlight rolloff to the generator (b' = b * (1 - HL_DIM * b^HL_POW), HL_DIM=0.42) that dims the top of the brightness range before stippling while leaving the mid-tones alone, so the highlights get fewer, slightly smaller dots and open up into texture. Regenerated public/img/profile-dots/points.json. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_017TDdCdTJbUkH7ZoWDhj7AV

A bit more rolloff at the high end so the brightest chest/shirt opens up further into even dots. Regenerated points.json. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_017TDdCdTJbUkH7ZoWDhj7AV

The bright shirt/face highlights in the profile dot-art were packing in so many stipple dots that they read as a blown-out white blob. This adds a highlight rolloff ("levels"-style pre-pass) to the stipple generator that dims the top of the brightness range before the dots are placed, while leaving the mid-tones essentially untouched — so the highlights get fewer, slightly smaller dots and open up into texture.
What changed
research/profile-dots/stipple.mjs: applyb' = b * (1 - HL_DIM * b^HL_POW)(HL_DIM=0.42,HL_POW=2.5) to the brightness field before computing stipple density and dot radius. Theb^HL_POWfactor concentrates the dimming in the highlights.public/img/profile-dots/points.json(same 8000 dots, redistributed away from the over-dense highlights).research/profile-dots/README.md: documented the pre-pass.Verification
Rendered a before/after of the two point sets headlessly: the bright chest goes from a solid white mass to distinct, evenly-spaced dots, with the face and overall form preserved and tonality more balanced.
Note on base branch
This stacks on top of
claude/profile-dot-art-sampling-uo3vkz(PR #72), since it depends on the dot-art generator and points that aren't onmasteryet. Base is set to that branch so the diff shows only the highlight change. It can be retargeted tomasteronce #72 merges.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
