Amazing. Can't imagine how long it would take to do that, but they must have the patience of a saint.

I suppose artists know all about light & shade, and have some idea where each number goes. Says me sounding all intelligent! :-)

I think I read it takes at least two weeks, Barsel.

I wonder if they used coloured dice.

Not sure, Danny.

Amazing! It's similar to those images you see of faces made from other smaller images of faces, if you get my drift.

Gagging for a new Lego set now ;o)

All donations of spare dice please forward to Patsy.

It's a modern extension of Pointillism really, our eyes interpret the light and shade created by the dots to form an image.

Convert small picture to monochrome if it isn't already, and enlarge until each pixel shows as a separate square Gives you a pattern to work in the different shades created by the die faces. It's how I convert Images for embroidery, would be the most logical way to get an accurate image to copy.

Ahh, that makes sense, Rowanwitch. Thanks.

I hate to be the party pooper, but here goes.

It is a technological feat, not an artistic one.
A black and white photo is scanned.
It is then filtered in Photoshop.
The greyness of the image is graded between 1 and 6.
The 6 shades of grey correspond to a black dice.
The darkest is one dot, the lightest 6 dots.
Once you have that you can print a grid and numbers.
Humans can then painstakingly put the correct dice in place.

THECORBYLOON

They must use some sort of program to identify the shade of a pixel and allocate a number that identifies the number on the dice/die and orientation for them to use.

Sunk

Your computer/device screen has 72 x 72 pixels per square inch. 1 dice = 1 pixel.

THECORBYLOON

That's 5,184 per square inch...
