Final result.
The color balance then the script (default settings).

Looks like Clouds made a monster out of you too Rod. lol

lol

With some additional tricks, this one's pretty much like the GIMP# result.

Lyle have you seen this program yet?
http://mosaizer.com/Legoaizer/index.htm

I can get these Lego results with the following instructions.

1) Open your image.
2) Download and install and open the pattern provided. (one dot)

3) Create a new layer and fill with the pattern.
4) Use these settings on the pattern layer.


5) Set that layer on Grain Merge mode.
6) Create a new empty transparent layer and fill with the pattern (same one)
7) Set that layer on Grain Merge mode also.

Molly i hope you don't mind me using your image. Thank you in advance.



Here is another lego piece with four dots if you want more diversity.

Yeah; looks like they released it for a fee based or lifetime fee. Looks like a much better version then Pic to Brick for sure, but happy with both P2B and also G'MIC. Mozaizer does create quality stuff; just cheap right now. lol

Still, they have image files that are cool and will work with another program that I did pay for a while back (Artensoft Photo Collage Maker).

To get the lego result, it's best to use either P2B or the new G'MIC preset and make sure the you have a lego piece the size of one 1X1 brick without the edges (just the center circle). Fill the pattern over your brick render and set to multiply. There was a tut for this posted here but too lazy to find it right now.

Thanks for reminding me of Artensoft Photo Collage Maker. I bought it a while back also and i still hadn't downloaded that one to my new computer yet. I saved 55 USD back when. Not sure if that coupon still applies or not. Seems like it was for Give Away of The Day or something.



I will see if i can find that tutorial. Thanks Lyle. FOUND IT!

Yeah; I purchased this gem at that discount time too; like $15 or $25 if I remember correctly (and normally like 3 times higher in cost). Like the Legoaizer too; don't think I'll purchase it though. Did had highlights (not sure why the lego output doesn't).

OK; this time I used G'MIC only to create the lego (with the overlay pattern resized as needed of course). Didn't do the extra dimensional step (too lazy right now; lol).

Nice Lyle, nice!

How did you create the lego in G'MIC though?

Used Cloud's Ministeck preset (modified for bigger bricks) and then applied the lego overlay (no seams of course). Had to, of course, recenter the dots a little, but no big deal. Minsteck doesn't give you all the different sizes that are available to Legos, but for a quick and dirty, it works.

Lego overlay? You get that somewhere online? Or is that the stud pattern?

One more lol
Beautify>Art>Colored Pencil. Then of course the Lego treatment.

Last one. Really!
Same application different layer mode.

Had the dimple from the site originally Rod; just resized it and got rid of the end seams since the program now creates those. As for your last one promise (paraphrased) prose, yeah right. lololol

Hi All,
It's a very funny effect. I've tried to code a first draft in G'MIC from scratch, just for fun (sorry Clouds, your version works quite well too !).
And I've added a new filter in the G'MIC plug-in for GIMP. So you can play with it after an update if you want too :



This is a very quick work, so don't expect too much from it
Compared to the version of Clouds, the placement of the ministeck pieces is fully random here.

Clouds, if you read me... maybe have you other nice G'MIC filters under the hood ? Do you want to share them via the update system ?

Cheers,

David.

I do like this one David. I especially like it that if the image has an alpha channel, that I can take advantage of the 1 px border to do some additional morphology operations (widen) for some additional effects. Thanks for the new preset. Now if only the pieces can be of multiple different lenghs (Legos). I asketh for too mucheth. lol
