● This section specifies how many pieces of each color you have available to create the image
● Color names are bricklink colors
● Step 4 of the algorithm cannot run unless you select enough pieces to fill the picture ('Missing Pieces' must be 0)
● If you're working with an existing set, then clear the available pieces and use the mix in option to add in the pieces from your set.
Required Pieces:Available Pieces:
Missing Pieces:
Important: Infinite piece counts were used, since a linear error dithering algorithm was selected in the 'Quantization' section, or a variable piece type was selected in the 'Pixel Piece' section
Note: Any colors painted using the paintbrush are assumed to exist when infinite piece counts are enabled
| Color | Number Available |
|---|
Important: Since a variable size pixel type was selected, 'Infinite Piece Counts' under 'Available Colors' was enabled - be careful!
Available Dimensions:Longer instructions may be split into multiple files
Color names are Bricklink colors
Depending on your hardware and the resolution you've chosen, the pdf can take quite a few seconds to generate. Be prepared to wait if you're generating instructions for larger resolutions, especially for high quality pdfs. Larger resolutions may also cause some slowness on the page or may not work at all on less powerful devices, so I recommend starting at the default and then going up.
Step 3
Adjust Depth Map● Click a pixel to increase its height
● Click a pixel to decrease its height
Step 4

3D Preview
If you can't see the 3D effect when hovering your mouse over the image, check the input from depth step 1● This is a (very) rough preview of what the 3D effect might look like
● Hover your mouse over the image to vary the perspective
● Make sure your depth map is not blank
● This is unlikely to work well on less powerful devices, since this is generated dynamically
● Keep in mind that the effect varies from browser to browser, can be subtle, and may not be 100% representative of what the physical art piece would look like
● This is the set of plates that may be used to generate depth instructions and piece lists
● These pieces are used as padding so that the correct pixels protrude outwards
● Note that larger plates may be difficult to attach/detach from the base
Available Plates:Longer instructions may be split into multiple files
