xmario Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 This tutorial is available as a PDF. Click here to view or download it LEGO Photo Plugins needed: Trail by Pyrochild The final result: We need LEGO locks images to make LEGO photo. There are some LEGO images in 48 by 48 pixels. As the original photo I took a picture of Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa". Since the photo will consist of LEGO images size 48 by 48 pixels, the size of the original picture must be a multiple of 48. Size of the original photo I have 1962 to 2976 pixels. Step #1 Open the "Mona Lisa" image in paint.net. Create a new empty layer above. Copy LEGO lock image and paste it to a new empty layer. Move it in the top left corner of the empty layer. Step #2 Apply the Trail-plugin by Pyrochild. May need to apply this plugin several times (CTRL+F) to fill the entire horizontal row. Apply the Trail-plugin by Pyrochild with 270 degrees direction to fill the entire vertical row. Intermediate result: Step #3 Move the picture of the Mona Lisa on the layer above the LEGO. Apply Effects – Distort – Pixelate. Step #4 Set the blending mode of the layer with the Mona Lisa as "multiply". The final result: Description of this tutorial in Russian 1 2 Quote Russian paint.net community Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cc4FuzzyHuggles Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) I think this is kind of a funny tutorial, but I like it! It's funny in a good way and pretty cool.

xmario Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 Thank you! It's really just а funny tutorial. At the same time, we saw how to use the plugin Trail. The use of Pixelate effect can help in creating palettes. May be it will be useful. Quote Russian paint.net community Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 This is really nice! I'm a big fan of this effect. You can do way more than just LEGOs with this, too. Nursery blocks, bricks, bouncy balls... and increasing the Contrast will make it look even more like a stack of LEGOs. :-) Nice work! Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doughty Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) This was interesting and definitely use a large image to start with. Mine was 3888 x 2592. Super easy and I foresee more pixelated images in my future. Thanks Xmario. Edited October 5, 2015 by doughty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewDavid Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Easy to create your own lego blocks with shadow and bevel. Used @Red ochre's Ardvark to reduce the size of tiles to 7 for a small pic.

Pixey Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 @Seerose To begin with, you must copy the Lego piece - i.e. Right click and Save. And do the same for the Mona Lisa Photo - right click and Save. Then continue with the tutorial. If you still have trouble, I'll do a video. Here are the images you need to save and use. The Lego is already 48 x 48 You will have to resize the Mona Lisa to the Tutorial instructions. 1 Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

ReMake Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 The tutorial can be simplified with the Fill From Clipboard effect by @BoltBait. Open the image applied by @xmario. Add a new layer. Copy any LEGO element from the first post. Apply the Fill From Clipboard (Effects -> Fill -> From Clipboard) effect by selecting Tiling - No Mirroring in the drop-down list. Set 'Multiply' Blending Mode for the top layer. Go to the bottom layer and apply the Pixelate effect (Effects -> Distort -> Pixelate) with a Cell size of 48. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
