Python utilities for conversion of bitmap image (in PNG format) to some sort of solid objects mosaic in POVRay format. Each source image pixel is converted to a 3D object, and objects are packed side by side, forming a grid following Euclidean tilings.
- 63zaika - converts every single pixel into 3D object, by default a solid sphere. Spheres are packed into triangle/hexagone grid. Spheres may be easily replaced by other predefined objects, object positions and properties may be mapped to source image brightness and/or randomized, etc.
- 44zaika - converts every single pixel into 3D object, by default a solid cube. Cubes are packed into square grid. Spheres may be easily replaced by other predefined objects, object positions and properties may be mapped to source image brightness and/or randomized, etc.
- 36zaika - converts every single pixel into 3D object, by default a triangular prism. Prisms are packed into triangle grid.
Dependencies: Tkinter, PyPNG
Usage: programs are equipped with minimal GUI for file selection. Exported scene contains enough basic stuff (globals, light, camera) to be rendered out of the box, and is well structured and commented for further editing.
