Odinbc, but if you had to choose one. Which one?

I also noticed that the triangulator app doesn't use a constant color for each triangle but uses a gradient, you can tell by the different shades in each corner of each triangle.
I like black and white but I'll go with the color one.

good tutorial, wow, what a lot of work to do it by hand, but the results are awesome.

Hello all,
so which one do you guys like more? "by hand" or "triangulator app"?


by hand all the way, but the app is more speedy (if you know how to use it right) and fills with gradients (vs solid colors).
Nice results.
Carlos, thanks, appreciate it.

I guess i don't know how to control where the triangles take place
here's a bad photo of me then polygon arted by hand
Image
then the same photo by using triangulator

I also like by hand more because you are not restricted to triangles (sometimes i like to use four sided polygon to add some variation like in above image for the eyebrows,neck,and lips i used plenty of four sided polygons)

Have you guys seen this one of Marilyn Monroe? (I found this on the internet)
Image
I really like the 3D effect created here especially around the chin and side of the face area. it looks like it's popping right out of the page. cool :)
here's the large version
Image
The small triangle mole on her face reminds me of what i did for bruce lee's nipple (also a small polygon to show detail)

You're incredibly good, trandoductin.

I like the MM render, polygonizing parts of an image, some drop shadows and it has a 2.5D or 3D feel to it.

What I meant by 'using the app right' is that you don't want to use it on the whole image, break the image down to fragments - face, hair, arms and triangulate them separately. Edit in Inkscape, AI, combine as layers, add drop shadows. This kind of stuff :)

Thanks for posting your works here, I'd love to see more

I never thought of doing components separately, that's a great idea I might have to try that. Thanks for telling me that.

This is sort of a desperate request to anyone out there who's an expert at Javascript(I know some javascript but I am nowhere near expert) and understands Triangulator App.
If possible this would be great.
1) To change Triangulator App to a Polygonize App which lets the user click on points (in order) to define a polygon of 3 or more edges then closes the polygon by clicking on the first point.

2) Then if possible, to add an option that defaults to gradient like how it's working now or if solid color is selected it'll use the solid color which is an average color of 3x3 or 2x2 pixel area that is in the middle of the polygon.

I also noticed that after adding about 20 or 30 points in triangulator app, the program slows down I am guessing because of the automated triangulation. I think with polygons manually defined by user, it might be faster since it just has to follow click instructions and not automate any triangulation. And not restricted to triangles, users can get more creative with their polygons.

If you are the expert, please do it, or if you know anyone who can do it please let them know. It'll be great for people who want to do polygon art.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can get this going.

Or if you know the creator of triangulator app, let me know so i can contact him/her and make a request :)
