Intentional.

Basically its a semidense point cloud [1], but instead of a point, there is a blob which has been coloured, angled and scaled to match the input picture. This means they are optimised to be viewed from a certain distance.

Think of it like a 3d vector drawing, if you zoom in too much, or pull one part away, it all starts to look a bit funky.
