Credits

Where the pictures and videos come from

Three kinds of image appear on this site, and each is credited on its own terms. This page lists them all.

Illustrations

Drawn by Manomithra

The figures, hands, breath diagrams, scenes and banners are original artwork, generated from geometry held in this project. Manomithra owns them. They are schematics of where a body or a hand is, not alignment guides, and each says so.
