Most likely mapped out on an imaging program on a computer

This was my thought as well. 😊It is still neat looking.

Oh it's dope for sure I'd love to have one in my living room.

I wonder if you could make one. I bet the dice would cost a lot.

I'm gonna find out. I bet we could find a Chinese supplier and get a bulk order of 5000 or 10000 die for cheaps

Hobby Lobby has let me down. One black die for $5.99🤣

Plus the whole lobbying against contraception thing

You could be right. I checked amazon. They had 100 for 10$🤣

Nice. I saw an Ali baba ad for 1000pcs at $40. If you can trust them.

Local dealer sells 10,000 pieces for $200. But they said if you buy more there are more discounts

It would be super easy. Just convert the image to grayscale and bin the values into six equal ranges. Those are the values of your dice. Though they have a “one” that’s darkened for blank space as well as a regular “one” so add a seventh bin.

You could even just throw it into a cross-stitch generator, and have it set to 6 colours

There's a little more to [doing it well](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordered_dithering) but yeah, it's not that hard. As a teenager I wrote a C program to convert grayscale images to ASCII characters and it worked about this well.

I miss those ASCII images. You could double the grayscale by adding white dice with black pips. I'd love to see some of those. I'd also beinterested in buying a bunch to play with.

pfft easy peasy. I usually throw them in the air and do a Chris Angel on them.

Also worth noting that he is using dice that have a normal one face and a darker one face can see it while he is assembling the second picture. You can see this clearly at 0:26

Cheater.

They're the same dice, just with the paint scraped off the pip.

That's not done by eye. The image has been computed from a photo. The actual work is mind numbing and worth an upvote for the patience

But he had to put that finishing touch in the middle of that last one while it was standing. Computers can’t tell you that!

For anybody asking, here it is the program: [https://ilyasbilgihan.github.io/Image2Dice/](https://ilyasbilgihan.github.io/Image2Dice/)

Fake notice the blank dice with no dots 

They’re just 1’s with no white paint. It doesn’t make it “fake”. 

There are “maps” you can download online and buy a shit ton of dice and go for it. Very easy really

Psh i rolled will smith once in yahtzee

Now the real challenge is to roll the dice till you get the same picture randomly.

Music ruined it

Fuck background music

that's messy

Now I want to see him using d20

For me it would be a crap shoot.

Just in case I want a giant image that looks like it was printed on a dot matrix printer in 1983.

You put an image into a program and it tells you how many dice of each number and where to put each.

Every piece of art on reddit is Messi now

He’s the best athlete in history. There’s like 10 celebs and characters shown here tho.

Software is a powerful tool.

First let me say that I'm not saying this person didn't use a program. I'm saying that it can be done without one. I say this because I've seen something similar done numerous times by different people. Believe it or not, at a jail. I worked at jail in the work release area for a time years ago. Several times I've seen inmates drawing with dots on plain white paper. Sometimes alot of dots. Sometimes not. Some in rows like the dice in the video. I found it interesting because I had never seen anything like it. So with the art I've seen, I think a person could do this without a program.

Have a clue about the world?  Be curious?

Google “Image generator made out of dice”. Buy 500 dice from Amazon for 10 dollars. Just copy the image generator and voila.

All his D&D buddies are jealous of his dice collection

How’s this work when he doesn’t own the rights to these photos and they’re exact copies? Is this any different to just putting a filter on an image? Or because he converted it to physical form it no longer matters?

It's incredible

This title lol

it's a tuma
