So I was looking at my Darth Vader photomosaic poster, and I started wondering. Could I make one of those on my computer? Of course, the answer is yes. A bit of Googling found the software that I used, and here are the results:



The full version is around 3500*3500 pixels.

Want to make your own? Ask yourself these questions:

1. Do you have an ultra-fast processor, or hours of computer time?
2. Do you have a large repository of pictures on your hard drive? Like, numbering in the thousands?


If you answered "yes" to both questions, then go to http://www.ezmosaic.com/download.html to download the software (30-day trial version, has some limitations).

Oh, and if you post your pics here, I wouldn't suggest using your porn collection as a basis for the mosaic.

Mine didn't work very well, so I mixed it up a bit with the original in PS. Needless to say, I don't have many pictures on my computer. :[

and so begins the search for porn in the pictures posted here...

i'd do a photo of me but... it would be all screenshots and porn

o.o

Your goals in life are truly amazing.

my goals are simple...

to be a famous porn star/game developer/musician/actor/ruler of the world...

Can I come to your parties if you pull all that off?

yes...

currently working on my picture... mostly all screenshots... i left out the porn...

Sweet!

Well, I'm currently working on one of Dark Helmet using nothing but screencaps from SpaceBalls... Capturing every frame of the movie is taking a long time though...

i'll have to try a different image

****! The program I downloaded for decompiling Spaceballs into it's individual frames left a huge ****ing watermark on each one...

Anyone know a program that will do that without putting a watermark on each frame?

Couldn't Fraps (or however the program is called) do that when you turn hardware-accelration of?

Rip said DVD to hard drive. Make AVI. Load Premiere. Export entire movie as a filmstrip. Wait approx 10 years. Open it in photoshop. Wait approx 10 years. Weeee, really freakin long image, with each frame.

Wow, you weren't kidding when you said "wait 10 years"... it's been going for over an hour and it hasn't even given me a "time remaining" estimate yet. Thank goodness processor speed grows at an exponential rate... the next computer I get will be able to do this with no problem.

Or not... it wasn't even half done when it had to quit becuase my hard drive was full... the darn thing outputted every frame as a bitmap.

That one doesn't count, because it's not a mosaic. It's just a bunch of pictures overlayed with a bigger one.

Soo slow to render, and the results were bad for me

Here, I found a better program: it's faster, has less limitations, and the shareware trial period is longer.

Now if only I had a large image repository.

i dont like how the face turned out so much... but the rest of the image turned out great. *this was with 550 images at my disposal

/goes to download image packs and try again

better? maby. (1000 images this time (the max))

Does anyone know of a Linux program that can do that?

Success!

ô.Ö

*saves*
Nice one, *******!:D

*studies each frame to figure out which part of the movie it's from*

I can send you the big one of that, if you want.

It was a bit large to post here.

Hmm... I wonder what I could do with that... Here's a rough estimate of my potential material:

• Our family's digital photo albums: at least 1,000
• My Grandfather's Digital Photo Album (all picture of out extended family and photos from his life: ~25,000+
• Game Screenshots: ~200
• Other miscelaneous digitized artwork: ~50
• P0rn: 0, you dirty, sick people.

I think I could come up with quite a lot with that... It reminds me of the first photomosiac I ever saw, in 2001... It was a poster of Abraham Lincoln. The highest quality oneI've seen yet was the Darth Vader poster.

I'm gonna have to work with these programs...

I wonder if anyone could do one entirely from JK screenshots...
