Giant Fish, Edge-Traced
A giant fish gliding through blue water — built on an edge-traced structure. An artist drew the cell boundaries around the fish’s outline before photo matching began, so the silhouette holds as a distinct boundary and fine detail survives the translation into cells.
Project Context
A demonstration of Edge-Traced Photo Mosaic Design: subject-aware cell structure for images whose outline carries the picture.
Specifications
- Cell shape
- Edge-traced (artist-designed)
Documented specifications are published only once verified for each project.
How It Was Made
- 01
The artist identified the fish’s silhouette and the water’s tonal bands as the structures worth preserving.
- 02
Cell boundaries and regions were drawn by hand around the outline — larger calm regions in the water, finer cells along the body.
- 03
Photo-matching software then filled the designed cells with suitable photographs from the source collection.
This project uses artist-designed edge-traced cells — see how edge-traced design works.
