So I stumble across a link to faces artwork. Looking at it I'm thinking, "Hhmmm nice... a little grainy though... must be oil on canvas? Why is it so grainy?"
Then zooming in I see the faces. "Ahhh! Now I get it! Amazing! So many faces! What a way to touch so many in Eve! How was it done? I wonder if there is anyone I know in there?"
Then it hits me... I think I see my character. "No... can't be possible... can it? Sure looks close! What are the chances someone else has a character that turned out that similar to mine? What are the chances my portrait was actually used? What are the chances I just happened to zoom in on myself? And recognize it!"
So I look a little closer at the artwork and my portrait. "There are differences, shading, angle of the head, shadows are from the other direction... Maybe it's not me. But it is so close. Actually, looks like the artwork portrait was a mirrored image. Wow someone must have taken a lot of time to do this... or seems more likely a machine did. Who is this Chribba?"
I wonder in disbelief for a while and then go to googling more about it. That led me to these forums which I never really used before. A little more research and lo and behold (thank you!) there is a way to find out if your face is in there... and sure enough... it is. Without that names list I would have been wondering for all eternity.
Still awestruck over the piece and even more at the chances of finding my pic in there like that.
Great job! Incredible way to touch countless players.
If I might ask, I'm even more interested than ever about the piece, how it was made, and how long it took, and how I might get a copy (I'm a little attached to it now).
Cheers, Max Indisbelief |

Cheers, Max Indisbelief Thank you! It was created using the help of mosaic software and gathering the right avatars for the colors and such, and you are right, the avatars are sometimes mirrored and slightly color altered for better fit. The final image took about 3 days to render after finding the suitable avatars. The full JPG (160MB) can be obtained from /faces/talwar/original/

Umm, okay, I don't mean to **** on anyones work but... this is NOT what it seems.
If you zoom in you will notice the only reason it looks like that ship is because of all the effects place on top of the pictures. You could make each of those faces a log of **** and it would still come out looking similar enough.
This kind of artwork is most impressive when the original images being used are not altered or having macro sized effects and layers placed on top of it. |

There's no "transparent" image placed on top of it, if so feel free to explain why some of the images are mirrored compared to their originals, surely that would not be needed if there's just a transparent image overlay.
The avatars are indeed allowed to be slightly altered in terms of colors (up to a certain %), as well as being mirrored. Beyond that I'm not sure what macro effects are.
But if you have an easier way to to create stuff like this I'm all ears to learn

Look, if you're going to make allegations, then don't sit there behind an NPC corp alt being vague.
Be specific, be downright scientific, run tests, show exactly what's going on. Post results. Use not only your main but also your real name.
If you can't do that, STFU and go away.

Awesome ! :D
When I first looked I was thinking, oh he did a screen shot then [filter[[canvas] tweek, adjust, tweek, adjust, save.
Then I accidentally used the mouse wheel and realized you could zoom in and out and could see the faces when zoomed way in.

For those that think some graphics manipulation of some kind was used to make the picture other than the actual player images check this out.
This is Rozeta Cristofer. First row, 25th image over.
I found the image using Eve Faces
Saved the image and cropped it to size. I assume the images size and quality was reduced in the Talwar to keep the size of the finished image within a reasonable size. Though the Armageddon mosaic weighed in at 46.9MB(file size) 1.5GB(in memory) compared to the 1.4MB(file size) 18.6MB(in memory) for the Talwar.
jpg vs .png makes a big difference I see.

My apologies. It had absolutely nothing to do with the forums or popularity in any way.

I'm not Maliandra, but I had the same thought though. There is plenty of software available on the Internet which does exactly what you did. I tested a few of them (tried to generate a face out of many face pictures) and then worked with one of it. The programs would offer you a folder where you save a lot of pictures. Then it will ask you if you allow rotation, flipping, change of saturation, change of brightness etc. of the input file. Then you tell which is the "original picture" which it should assemble and you can later tell the amount of overlay, meaning the amount it should merge the original picture into the mosaic. Since the mosaic parts are very small, one can't really tell how much, if at all, overlay you had activated. I read you used 20k input picture. Not sure how many pixels your output picture has, but from there you can tell how many pixels per input picture are shown, if you look at it in full size. At that ratio it is hard to tell if how much overlay went into it, and actually it doesn't really matter. The effect that it was made from portraits is also lost in that resolution. True art comes (from my understanding) when you can achieve the same effect by using considerably less pictures. Let's assume you used 160 x 120 portraits, which is 19,200 portraits in total. Now decrease that to 40 x 30 portraits, which is 1,200 portraits in total. If you look at one of the launcher points of the Talwar, you can see that it it made from roughly 5 x 7 = portraits. You could try to reduce that to 4 portraits, so that the dark part of it is the black hair or a person, and the bright part of it is the face (just as an idea). Anyway, I appreciate your effort and artwork and I hope that you take my lines as "constructive criticism". As I already mentioned, I also work on such projects once in a while (though not EVE related), and if you are interested we can learn from each others experience and ideas.
Regards, Maru Sha. |

@Maru Sha Was probably me misunderstanding the term of overlay there then as I understood it as making a grid of avatars, then simply putting the image on top of it and changing opacity etc which is now how it was done.
It was made with the assistance of software like you described. And ofc the less avatars you could use the cooler,except it would probably look worse (and one of my keys was to get in as many avatars as possible). Input image is 1920x1200, and the output 20000x12500
There's no modification of the original input, merely the amount of tiles are analyzed and avatars closest matching said location on the original image is being used.
In the end it probably was just me misunderstanding the "overlay" part of the previous comment.

Ok, then I can understand the message you want to promote here. :-)
It would be unfortunate if some people miss it (as already mentioned here) and not zoom in. When I first looked at it, I thought "okay a Talwar picture with an artificial moir+¬ pattern" until I found the (+) and (-) at the bottom. |
