Thank you very much!

At a first glance it resembles Dr. Di Blasi algorithm on creating such mosaics.

Very nice work! thank you again! I will try to extend your work to create opus tesselatum or musivum like patterns.

Cool to see a specialist, I like old mosaics but neither search for their slyles, mames …
If you want it is also possible to make some rectangles


I used a Voronoi tessellation, then each Voronoi polygon is transformed in rectangle using one of my program to search for maximum inscribed rectangle

The only problem is that the script is awfully long !!!
Updated, faster version, with other version for inscribed rectangle 4 s vs more than 2 minutes.

With n=1, cubes are aligned and it is the fastest.

Dear Laurent

Is possble get the mosaic more details with the shape of the picture?

Best reagrds

Hello Ruben,
there are many possibilities, I already plublished script with things different from rectangle (square is just a special case of square).
In general if someone wants a single shape it will be best to use a nesting program. At the moment for Free one of the best is OpenNest


The only problem of OpenNest is that it doesn’t follow guides curves. But if you deconstruct the image it must work.

Hello Pavel

Can you send to me the software Artifical Mosaic Creator to tests with my pictures.

Here is a way using circle packing in Kangaroo and curve guides. All squares have the same size.

Orienting squares with the curves

@laurent_delrieu you are the best!!!
@ruben here is the link with software and papers http://web.archive.org/web/20080409213801/http://www.dmi.unict.it/~gdiblasi/pubblicazioni/mosaic.php

My problem now is how can i assign numbers to the square/tiles based on that color to make manual installation sheets. Something like Paint-by-Number.

Thank you

Hello Will
This is the “Artifical Mosaic Created” plugin?
Thank you for your support and i’m sorry for what happened

Looks like the “Artificial Mosaic Creator” is available as a .jar applet at the bottom of the link that Pavel posted (see my updated post above).
