#112Reminds me of the following different project for content aware image resizing or retargeting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qadw0BRKeMk https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seam_carving
I thought the same, and also about the Structured Image Editing [1] that was linked from the Image Analogies thread [2] two days ago: [1] https://vimeo.com/5024379 [2] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11234793
7 years old demo.... are there any paint tools (commercial, open source) available in the market nowadays implementing these algorithms?

#113Hello this is Marcus, the guy who did the resolution independent illustrations. I just uploaded the current version of the site, so it will no longer freeze, when the image gets to small. I also updated the Tantalos image. I am currently a bit blown away by the reaction to this. I finished this over a year ago but didn’t manage to make it public till now. I presented this at a meetup in Berlin yesterday and someone a…
Those were amazing!
the resolution independent illustrations.

#114Earlier quoted context omitted.
Make the Zeus image tall and skinny. Then make it short and wide. Then make it square.
So this has over 1000 upvotes because it's good art, not because it's an interesting algorithm?
I have to agree I was surprised by the number of upvotes as it didn't strike that chord with me, but I can see it has with other HN-ers so who am I to argue. I am impressed by the obvious amount of effort gone into it and the originality.

#116Hey, it's actually RESPONDING to something, unlike most of what's being called "responsive" now: http://goldmanosi.blogspot.com/2013/08/responsive-design-doe...
Re: Responsive Pixel Art
#117This is incredible stuff. Zeus in particular is amazing. It all seems to be done with weighted objects and a clever way of rendering them, but it's indistinguishable from magic from where I'm sitting.
Changing the aspect ratio from portrait to landscape for many of them also results in really interesting interpretations of the same piece.
"Zeus" in particular is pretty cool in this regard

Would love to see a writeup on how these are built. Nice work!
I will definitely do a detailed explanation as soon as I am done with my new website.

Those were amazing! the resolution independent illustrations. Aren't those images kinda exact opposite of that? Because output image depends entirely on the resolution.
A lot of people refer to them as „responsive“ illustrations. But responsive basically means resolution-dependent. You do different versions of your design for different resolutions — and in between you just stretch or compress them.
These images work differently, there is no source image or something like that, the whole image is described that everything depends on the final resolution, so that the image is independent of its output size. There is no fixed, static sized image anymore.

Are you writing the image .px files by hand or generating them from another program, like Illustrator or something?
Since those are neither pixel or vector graphics and there is no such program (yet) they have to be done by hand. That’s definitely something I want to change in the future.
