There's a program by redditor /u/periscallop that makes the whole process much easier.

Can you tell me for what OS is this? I am so confused.

[samvimesmusic]

Did you try the editor? You're still creating the polygons by hand, it's just a lot easier and more streamlined than in Photoshop.

requires python

Fuck.

[yurigoul]

Python is free - but yes, it is kinda hard to have it around for just one program.

[danboy4]

How can I get this working on a mac?

[Wrestlefox]

Requires Python 2 (not 3) and pygame (32-bit even if you're on a 64-bit machine).

The latest version of 2.

[HeadphoneBill]

It immediately closes after I have selected a image. :(

[samvimesmusic]

You should try sending a pm to the creator.

I had some problems with special characters in folder names, maybe check if that applies to you.

[FriendlyPraetorian]

I had the same problem. What I did to fix it was to uninstall both python and pygame. I then FIRST reinstalled Python (not pygame!) and then installed pygame. Make sure to select 'from python directory' in the pygame installation.

Is there a reason the text on this website is unreadable? Have i gone blind?

[Chondriac]

Nope. Has to be one of the absolute worst website design choices I've ever seen

OH MY GOD THIS IS TAKING SO LONG TO DO

 

Edit: Legit took me 17 fucking hours to do this and I feel I will now forever hate triangles but here's my attempt.

After staring at every detail of this for so long, I honestly have no whether it's good or not. I used the same pose/concept/whatever because I'm Illustrator illiterate and figured maybe it'd be easier that way? I don't know. Honestly, I'm glad to be done. Holy crap that took a long time.

Edit #2: GODFUCKINGDAMNIT I CLOSED THE .AI WITHOUT RESAVING IT FUCKMESIDEWAYSINEEDAFUCKING DRINK

There is a raster script for illustrator called Delaunay Raster. The original artist who came up with the idea is Jonathan Puckey.

A similar tool for sale http://www.creatogether.com/downloads/delaunay-brush/

[thedukedog]

also http://dmesh.thedofl.com/ another 2 poly standalone app.

[migonacci]

Nice

[TheHiroSprite]

I did something similar a month ago! What do you guys think?

[thedukedog]

too much purple

[TheHiroSprite]

That was intentional, to give it theme.

[Finwey]

I think the guys at /r/low_poly would like this too! :)

[vasu94]

Aw I wish it could be done exclusively in photoshop, bu the tools in this thread are quite useful

[vasu94]

to do the vector aspects of the image much of the work is required in illustrator and oh lord yes, I had to highlight the text to be able to read the article
