Lego mosaic software
Lego mosaic software
I'm hoping to build an approximately 4 foot by 4 foot mosaic of the Lego logo. I've been looking for a solid, easy-to-use mosaic-creating software but have had no luck. PicToBrick looks like it would be good, but the tutorial is really poor and I have had a difficult (actually impossible) time working through the interface. I have Photobricks loaded on my iPhone, but I can't see where it would give me any directions to use when building the piece. Are you aware of any other ways I could complete this project, and if not, have you seen any PicToBrick tutorials that are understandable to someone who doesn't have a computer science degree? Any other insights on how to complete this project would be really appreciated - thanks in advance for your help!

Here are a couple of images that are each 144 x 144 pixels. If you use 1 pixel equals 1 stud then that will come out to 45 inches by 45 inches. This version of the logo only makes use of red, black, yellow and white bricks:
This version of the logo uses a lot more colors -- light grey, dark grey, sand green, earth green, reddish brown, orange, yellowish green, etc. At a distance it will probably look better than the 4 color version.
You should be able to build either of these fairly easily if you have an image viewer that will zoom in a long way on the images (and ideally put a grid over the image once you get zoomed in far enough so that it is easy to count the pixels).

Re: Lego mosaic software
No problem. Let me know if you need them generated again at a different size or with some uncommon colors removed. Unfortunately the software that I'm using also falls into the category of needing a computer science degree to use as it's something that I hacked together for myself and is not intended for public release.
