For anyone who wants to fiddle with this 🙂

I’m planning on using this to create a huge ASCII artpiece on one of my living room walls :bad:

currently only uses 50x50 grayscale images, but is easily expandable 🙂

* * *

The 2nd iteration below converts a 150x150 image to ASCII, and contains it in BMPdata (whereas the other one merely copied a lot of mc’s…)

if anyone is up for making it save jpg’s after render, please do, and post it here 😛
