Fantastic. Cheers!

I'm not sure that the code would be very valuable.
This is essentially a grid of randomly-sized superellipsoid tiles.
The placement of the tiles is offset by the corresponding positions
on two splines aligned along the X and Y axes.

The pigment for the tiles is specified by sampling a bitmap
using the eval_pigment function.

Sometimes I think you overestimate our abilities, and perhaps underestimate
your own.

This rocks! (by the way)

Source posted in p.b.s-f.

Not sure if it is really all that helpful, but maybe someone will
find some value in it.  It's a bit of a mess, looking back at it
after a couple of days.

Thanks for posting the source; I'm enjoying looking at the effect with
different images.

Thanks!  I'm also hesitant to post some of my messy stuff.  I always start
out with good source, but in the end, only I can understand it.  :-/  Even
so, sometimes it's nice just to figure out how one certain effect is
achieved.

Thanks again.  For relative newbies like me, p.b.s-f is a treasure.  :-)

I'm enjoying it.  Thanks!

What resolution is the jpg you use?  Mine seems to wrap strangely.

Thanks, guys ...

The original source image was some multiple of 100 pixels wide by 70 high.
I think I multiplied by two for some reason in the source (probably to bring
the bird head into view).

You should use the actual dimensions of your source image as follows:

#local I =

  pigment {
    image_map {
      jpeg "mozaik.jpg"
      }
    translate <0, -.5, 0>
    scale <Width, Height, 1>
    }

where Width is the width and Height is the height, etc.

Post some of your own images that you used my script on?  I'm sort
of curious.

I'd like to see some as well. I'll post one, but my access
to a news server is on another computer so it will be later.

Yep.  <-.5, -.5, 0> completely centers the image.

The bird in my mosaic was not in the center of the source image, so
I adjusted it a bit.
