Sprite Stitch Board!

Hi! I just wanted slab this on the table for discussion and to collect some feedback. Seems like this would be the right place for it. I think pixel graphics are awesome and I wanted to try something new, so I have developed a system for creating bead sprites for 3D Print. Basically one can order a set of pixels that can be used to make a certain sprite, or what ever else one can come up with using those pixels... here are some images:









You can find the actual item here http://www.shapeways.com/model/539268.

There is Luigi too btw, and Gau from FF6 but I have not printed him yet.

I know this is all a bit on the expensive side of things because of today's level of 3D printing technology... all that aside though please let me know what you think and if I should make more, or WHAT sprites you would like to see sets for.

I hope you like!

Very nice result
too bad it's a bit expensive technique for me...

Thanks! Yes unfortunately 3D printing is still very expensive :/.

Expensive yes, but a fascinating process. And so many uses too! I like what you've done here, and would like to see more!
Perhaps a Sonic?

Thanks! I will be making more. I have a few more on my list to go through first, but I will put sonic on it too
I tried uploading a Street Fighter 3 ChunLi sprite, but that blew right past the system limitations of shapeways and was rejected. I guess I have to wait a few more years for that

Oooh that's very cool

Thanks!

I love Mario so this is way cool!!!!

Amazing

Just fixed up the image links. Didn't realize they were broken!
