i wouldn't exactly call that text to image... it looks like them took the picture then just pasted 1's and 0's over it. i would call this text to image.

before
NOTE: only look at the text for this example*

This isn't the best example of text to image but you get the point. Also i'm not 100% sure and i don't really want to get involved in this who debate about posting spam and other stuff but i'm guessing this kinda falls into it!?!? not sure though.

it IS text to image, just seems to takes the contrast data and turn it into shaded 0s and 1s. pretty cool!

It's too bad it doesn't make it an image, instead of text, I would've had a sweet pic if it did... ah well...

[Drew]

Just have to use screenprint then....

[xmastree]

That's got me thinking. Set it to white background, and you could print some neat effects.
That huge picture creation thread, I'll bet something could be done with this.

[xmastree]

So, what characters work best on a white background, for printing?

I'm going to try something. Since it simply generates html code, I'm gonna save the page and put <strong> tags round it to make it a bit bolder...

Xmastree, what is that a picture of? A girl?

This is a pretty cool tool. :up:

[xRyokenx]

I just realized that it's a close up of some girls face... took me long enough.

[xmastree]

It's my wife.

Ahh, okay...

[xmastree]

She doesn't like that picture. She prefers the posed, head to one side, cheesy grin type of holiday snap. I tried to be a bit more original with that one.

[Redundant]

I think that looks like a great angle. If that was a video, I would have then zoomed out a little and turn the cam in the direction she's looking. Then something off in the distance would be happening/coming...
How epic. ;)
