Brickaizer creates brick mosaics, including all the required data to start building right away. Coloured bricks is hot again! With these bricks you can make great predefined models, but its large selection of bricks, plates, shapes and colours allow for greater works. A growing community of (grown-up) people rediscover the potential of these little bricks and plates to create great pieces of art. And Brickaizer uses the renowned high speed colour matching engine of Mosaizer XV to optimize use of amount of bricks, colours and sizes.

Some examples that you can make within seconds with Brickaizer

Brickaizer is a stand-alone application that works under windows or under a windows environment in OS-X (mac). After installation, you can immediately create a brick mosaic. In the first period of use, the application is unrestricted and fully functional. When these grace days have expired a few professional features will be limited or locked.

Download examples. 1: Deadpool in bricks. 2: Minion in Ministeck® parts. 3: LaFerrari in Hama® beads. 4: Superman in bricks.

Example 2: The output as you will see when just pressing the 'Create mosaic' button, right after a fresh installation. The bricks are clearly spotted. The application uses a real brick picture to create this realistic 3D effect of the stud. The brick itself is created in the software code. Fast and efficient.

Example 3: This output is the result of a colour dithering pre-processing step. Human skin is a very difficult colour to reproduce, even with the vast variety of colours.

Example 4: A brick mosaic made from actual pictures of bricks. These pictures must be available to the application when generating a library of bricks, colours and sizes. After having created such a library and colour palette, you can now make any mosaic using this brick set. It doesn't get more realistic than this. Just thinking... when you would print it and hang it on the wall... would anyone see the difference with real bricks?

Example 5: A true piece of art made by Aaron Liepman: "2015 La Ferrari Brick Mosaic". It's an awesome example of how Brickaizer can be applied. It consists of 2900 1x1 and 1003 2x2 bricks in 16 colours, and measures 120.7 cm 44.5 cm including a handmade custom wooden frame. A little secret: start with grey 1x1 and yellow 2x2 bricks, and then make corrections by applying acrylic paints using an airbrush. Estimated value: priceless!

Example 6: Hey... Ministeck®! Ministeck® also has 'bricks' of plastic in a large variety of colours. Ministeck® only uses 5 shapes, including the much loved L-shape piece. It's all possible as you can see in this example.

Example 7: The building blueprint is an excel file, both for Ministeck® and bricks output. It provides accurate data for building the mosaic, using identification numbers for every brick, size and colour. And for group building sessions, the blueprint can be output as a series of 48x48 stud plates.

Example 8: The 'Whaam' poster build as a wall. Each brick is stacked on the other, where the brick is basically shown sideways. As can be seen in this example the brick is slightly higher then wide (9.6 versus 8 mm), and only bricks with the same stud-depth can be used in the model. This way great wall mosaics can be made in just seconds. Building itself might take a bit more time.

Example 9: Superman from large bricks. These child-friendly bricks can also be used to build supersize mosaics. This example is actually 2.56 x 3.68 m in real size. Large enough to fill a wall in the kids bedroom. The cost might be an issue however (est. 2600 euro).

Example 10: The eye of the tiger in different rendering settings. Left picture: standard bricklink database. Other pictures were made with a standard paint colour database (many find this cheating ...). From left to right: direct reduction to 16 colours; iterative colour reduction down to 16 colours; direct reduction to 36 colours. Cost: 100 euro of paint cans, and only 50 euro of 1x1 and 2x2 bricks.

Example 11: Mondriaan paintings: create this painting in just seconds. We have used a quite large mosaic size to show how interesteing this brand new feature (Brickaizer 4.0) is. It's cheaper than the original, and certainly more unique. This 'painting' is only 416 x 201 studs, but when on your wall it would be 3.30 x 1.60 m. The two insets are the mosaic source (left) and some detail (right). The background is in the original size mosaic.
