I’ve never even thought of doing such a thing! And I wouldn’t have guessed
what a huge difference it would make in the implied resolution.

To be honest, I was surprised as well! The only drawback I’ve noticed so far is
that drawings are more effective than photos, since they have larger areas of
uniform colors.

If I find the time and a camera I’ll construct this one for real,

Hoh, yes! You MUST! Are you sure it’s possible?
|
Mathematically, it all fits. The only thing that’s stopping me is the massive
amounts of 1x1 plates I’ll be needing. Maybe some bricklinking is in order.
| |
It makes me so happy when people take the time to share their
discoveries/techniques so that the whole community can benefit.

Well, There’s two reasons there. For one, I like explaining things. Somehow it
makes me feel smart :) For another, I like to inspire other (mosaic) builders,
and receive some kind of credit if someone would take this technique and run
with it. (Eric Harshbarger, I’m looking at you ;)

I believe you have a knack for visual
communication, what with showing us the solid color version! That really
helps me to see what’s going on.
|
Like I said, I enjoy explaining. It can be very frustrating when you see a cool
build on brickshelf, but there’s no way to see how it’s done.
| |
I’d be curious to see data compiled on many, many such mosaics, particularly
their compared inventories, the numbers of change in orientation, some cost
analysis perhaps?
|
Well... there’s one problem there. I’m absolutely no good with programming, and
I create my mosaics in photoshop. There’s no way to get a piececount from the
resulting image. Based on canvas size (32 by 50 studs) you’d need 16000 1x1
tiles, but that’s way too much. Many clusters of tiles can be replaced by bigger
parts. I gave that a shot:
Here’s the
image split in horizontal and vertical parts
And here’s the image
split in colors. Is anyone here able to guess the price based on this? I
wouldn’t have a clue.

I can’t wait to see more. I hope I’ll get to see one assembled up close at
BrickFest!
|
Well, as I’m a European builder, I won’t be able to make it personally. You’re
going to have to rely on other builders, or the smaaaall chance that I’ll be
able to build one in time and mail it there.
Thanks for your reply... oh, and also for alol the other folks here: I’m able to
create building plans for anyone who wants to try and build one. Just send me an
email and I’ll see what I can do.

| (...) Well... I did my own interesting style (I called it just a SNOT-mosaic) back in Dec 2002: (URL) does not "mix" studs out and sideways bricks... but the technique is similar to what you've proposed here. You are correct, the techniques do work (...) (18 years ago, 1-May-06, to lugnet.build.mosaic, FTX)
