What is the cleanest way to convert an image into a Lego mosaic?

What's your mosaic supposed to look like, exactly?

In the simplest case, when it's just bricks of the same size, it's relatively straight forward.

- Get a base, to copy your bricks to, like a grid.
- apply some UVs
- Transfer the color of your image onto the points, for example with a colormap VOP
- Copy the LEGO bricks onto the grid, by default the color will be copied onto the copies.
- Profit

It gets a bit more involved, when the brick mosaic is more complicated.

See attached example hip, it uses the famous sidefx mandril as an image.

Thank you so much this is very helpful
