As Andrew mentioned, he was surprised and delighted to see such interest in it. The online STL to 3D ASCII converter and generator was warmly accepted in the 3D printing community because such an original tool was tailored specifically for the niche. Read more about NFT in our previous blog. As an example, check the Statue of Liberty by Monumentz ASCII on Opensea. ASCII Art from a 3D model may be one of the ways/forms to submit as NFT. It is still complicated to create NFTs from 3D files, and most of the attempts, in reality, are GIFs that portray 3D files. Joe Magdalena’s Twitter Profile Setup Framed and Hanged on the Wallĭesigners or fans of the popular STL model may now create an art piece from the creation, 2D print it on paper, frame it, and hang it on the wall. Joe Magdalena did so and it looks awesome. Drop and drag that image from your computer into the Drag & drop an image. These were so good that they could be used as Avatars. How to Use the Ascii Art Generator Get the image ready that you want to convert. The astonishing results came out from existing 3D scans, specifically 3D scans of the heads.

Rotate. One of my favorite options in the generator is “Rotate”. On top of the ability to rotate the model in the same way as in any software, there are a few interesting functions. In his video, Andrew goes through the code and shares some of the results published by the community members.

I have put my original photo for the reference.There are many generators that convert images and text into ASCII combinations. Here is my profile picture converted into ASCII.
