legofy's Introduction

Legofy

What is it?

Legofy is a python program that takes a static image or gif and makes it so that it looks as if it was built out of LEGO.

Requirements

Python
Python modules: Pillow, click # pip will install these automatically if using pip install legofy
imagemagick # not needed but recommended

Bugs

If you find a bug:

Check in the open issues if the bug already exists.
If the bug is not there, create a new issue with clear steps on how to reproduce it.

Quickstart

$ pip install legofy

or install from source

$ git clone https://github.com/JuanPotato/Legofy.git
$ cd Legofy
$ python setup.py install

Wait! I don't know what any of this means? Use pip then, or if you really want to install from source have some help.

Usage

Usage: legofy [OPTIONS] IMAGE [OUTPUT]

  Legofy an image!

Options:
  --size INTEGER                  Number of bricks the longest side of the legofied image should have.
  --dither / --no-dither          Use dither algorithm to spread the color approximation error.
  --palette [all|effects|mono|solid|transparent]
                                  Palette to use based on real Lego colors.
  --help                          Show this message and exit.

Palette

There are 3 palettes: solid (33 colors), transparent (14 colors) and effects (4 colors). You can use one of them or all the 3.

$ legofy --palette solid image.jpg
$ legofy --palette transparent image.jpg
$ legofy --palette effects image.jpg
$ legofy --palette all image.jpg

There is another one palette, mono, with only 2 colors (black and white...). It's just for test and fun...

Troubleshooting

Installation

legofy's Issues

Need a better 1x1 Lego Piece and 1x2 2x1

BETTER ones... If anyone with photoshop knowledge could recreate a 1x1 lego piece and/or create the 2x1 and 1x2 pieces? I was hoping to have a brand new piece so that I can make sure the base color of the lego is 128,128,128

ValueError:

I ran the following: sudo python setup.py install and at the end of the program I got this ValueError: --enable-jpeg requested but jpeg not found, aborting.

Is there a jpeg missing?

Best way to make binary executable ?

So far I always used py2exe - do you guys know better alternative that works with tkinter?

Once you limit to a limited set of colors, try to build picture with bigger than 1x1 pieces

And also generate a parts list.

Added here for discussion :D I realize this could be a lot of work. But the payoff! Oh, the payoff!

High res brick image

Could you please update the 1x1 brick to high-res image?

What is this?

Can't find project's description. Sorry.

Hi,

legofy tries to write the new image to /. Results in a permission denied error.

Remove cli.py from coverage

Coverage should be better.
Remove cli.py from coverage or add a test to add coverage to it.
I tried to add a test but failed to get it working with click.

Add ability to only use lego colors

Putting this here for conversation and progress

Legofy wont work

I try to run setup.py but the system is ignoring me,
Please fix

Here is my terminal :

Brick count stats - feature request

Maybe, it would be really nice to save (with param --statistics or whatever) counts of brick with colors. Something like

red: 5; blue: 50

I really love this project and I would like to create real Lego picture from my photo, but counting brick.. hmmm.. :)

Thanks!

How to run Legofy?

Normally, when I try a new project, I don't install it, but Legofy don't seem to let me to run it directly, using 616af86.

Run without installation

I have tried:

python legofy/__init__.py
python legofy/cli.py
python -m legofy.__init__

Which is expected, nothing happens as the code doesn't do anything in running this way. Do I have to install for entry point script in order to try it out?

Run after installation

I installed with

pip install --user .

But, the asset bricks/brick.png isn't installed:

% legofy spinner.gif
Animated gif detected, will now legofy each frame and recreate the gif and save as lego_spinner.gif
Working on frame_0003.png
Traceback (most recent call last):

    fp = builtins.open(fp, "rb")
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/livibetter/.local/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/legofy/bricks/brick.png'

So, I tried with --brick, but here isn't defined when run with the option, hence:

Add ability to adjust resolution

Please add ability to adjust "resolution" of the output image. I don't necessary mean the output size of the brick, more that the image size of the output changes to include less or more detail of the original.

Add ability to change scale of lego peices

For example, each lego block in the output image is essentially a pixel. The user should be able to specify the new "resolution" for their image as a command line option.

ValueError: --enable-zlib requested but zlib not found, aborting.

Full log

Optimized gifs come out broken

Any gifs that are optimized and have pieces of frames deleted will form broken gifs once legofied. By broken I mean that the frames will look glitchy. I found this and will implement it tomorrow, if anyone finds anything better, please tell me.

Don't bake shading on output

Two ideas:

output two images instead of the baked one: difusse and normal-map. This way people can add lighting on post-production and better fake a lego-video.
related to the earlier. add an option to specify a virtual light and output the rendered image.

Add description to repo

The repo is missing a description.

It would look nicer with one. Since it's not something we can do a pull request on, I'm marking it as an issue.

Could be as simple as : "Legofy images!"

closing image raises an error ?

Hello,
using python 2.7.6, when I run the script, I get errors in init.py when closing the files on :
https://github.com/JuanPotato/Legofy/blob/master/legofy/__init__.py#L177-L178

According to this discussion it seems that closing is not needed, no? Can this be removed or is there any particular reason you have done it?

ImageMagick - Right way to go ?

Hi,

I have a generall question regarding ImageImagick. Why did you decide to implement it? As far as I remember script worked without it.

I usually see external tools and bridges as a major design flow because of lack of flexibility and dependency on external provider. Perhaps there is a good reason for imagemagick?

Best regards

PIL Image Method Deprecation Error

I get the following error when running legofy from the command line: AttributeError: module 'PIL.Image' has no attribute 'ANTIALIAS'

After some quick Googling, it appears that this is an issue with PIL having deprecated this method.

Merge both images2gif_*.py scripts into one

This makes maintenance easier.

Logo proposal

Hello @JuanPotato , today while exploring GitHub looking for interesting projects found yours and I would love to contribute by designing a logo for it. I'm a designer in development and an open source enthusiast. We would be working together to create the design that fits best. Of course it's totally free and you can quit whenever you want. In case you agree, please let me know any preferences you may have about colors, shapes, etc.

Kind regards.

It's hard to contribute or use this since there is no license file
