Opus Vermiculatum

Still playing with Dr. Di Blasi's mosaic program. Had an epiphany (brain fart) using lylejk stencil to clean up the outlines of the bricks after resizing (you are limited in size to how big Di Blasi's program can render; uprezed before cleanup).

Thanks Charlie. The program's no longer available, but w/ the magic of the wayback machine, it still is.

Lyle, I'm unable to download from that link: access prohibited from Java security checks (probably because that piece uses a very old version of Java)
If you have it in your archive, can you attach it directly?
Thanks

Try the Jar file itself dinaset; it's what I actually run (since I run it local). I too could not run the online version anymore; sad. Again, the Java Jar file works fine still.

Still on my binge. lolol

Then had a little fun w/ it.

Lyle,
do you know of someone who is willing to take the challenge to:
- extract the source code from the mosaic.jar file (I know there are decompilers)
- understanding the source (i.e. being a java connoisseur)
- being a G'MIC connoisseur and translate that very nice piece of code into a G'MIC filter?
It would be interesting...
