Dotswarm
A modeler for animating point clouds used for creating Sifted
Dotswarm was a 3D workflow for building point cloud scenes and efficiently animating and rendering them. It was created primarily to layout and render scenes for Sifted.
It was written in Objective C and OpenGL for macOS around the time of macOS Snow Leopard

OpenGL turned out not to have much of a future on the Mac, so Dotswarm is no longer developed.
