    A while back I posted a few pictures from a mosic I made from a C# application i wrote

    well i lost the code for it

    so in the past few days i had some extra time at work and rewrote the application

    this time it's much more awesome because i have more ram to make it faster
    and because i'm rebuilding it, i know where my flaws were last time and could also make it more efficent

    here's the final results


    (i'll post more later)



    the image is actually 4 sections

    the top section is a clip from the whole image at 100%

    the second clip is from the whole image at 60% view

    the third clip is frm the image at a 30% view

    the fourth clip is from the image at a 10% view
    this one you can see the image as a whole


    i would have loved to upload the whole image

    unfortauntly the file is 19mbs
    (athough I may try later)





    Crap with that stupid lightbox it limits my picture size

    here's a damn link so you can see the whole thing yourself

    Adding more, these new ones I'm going to add just a small clip, then you can click on the image to go to my deviant art account to see the WHOLE thing (do not do this if you are on a slow internet connection, and ~cough~ occasionally it breaks IE)

    The Lucky Star one only uses images from Lucky Stars (products, magazine clips, manga, anime

    WHile the Tsubasa one will only use screenshots from the anime series


    <crap somethine went wrong with the linking>

    Good lord that is fantastic! (No sarcasm)

    If it's not too much trouble, could you please explain the logic behind how you did this?

    Thank you very much!

    but that will ruin the magic




    if you must know
    you calculate the average color of every one of those little titles, then for every square section of image you are going to replace with a title, you calculate it's average color, find the most matching tile, than replace that section with it








    I have more, I will update slowly

    I will eventually. It's just that once you have the tiles, you can reuse them therefore after you've created your first one, the work to create the next one will be much small



    I am working on a paris one eventually
    and a whole group devoted to CD covers

    And then I will try to do some that are only black and white, but that will use more development work to change all the photos to grayscale

    and then eventaully I want to try one with Letter Type as the tiles

    Question, does it take time to do it? OR just , click , click and done.

    It took time for me to write the applicatoin
    It takes a lot of time to collect the sheer amount of images to make into tiles

    as for resizing the tiles and the rearragment of tiles, that is click and done :p

    it takes me several days to get all the pictures
    it takes about a half hour for one picture to complete
    but it took me about 2 weeks to write the program (i've written it before but i lost all the code so i was re writting them)
