HP Mosaic can become HP Randomizer

HP Mosaic can become HP Randomizer

No alt text provided for this image

I always show how HP Mosaic works by demonstrating how you can take a seed file (or more) and set parameters to change the Transposition, Zoom, Rotation and Color Shuffling to create endless results.

But what happens when you don't do any of it?

What happens when you put a seed file (or more) and do not use any parameter?


This Brand, which creates a liquid vape, wanted to create a Zombie Party and invite infinite number of Zombies to the party.

They Created a static background image:

Then they created many seed files (element files) that were not intended to transpose, zoom or rotate. The more elements they created, the more variations they could get:

In these examples I show just a fraction of the elements that were created.

Each set of elements was placed inside a Mosaic Channel and all of the Channels were placed one on top of the other in the Z-Order to show the correct assembly.

When HP Mosaic is activated it selects a random seed for each of the channels, but as it does not perform any change - it simply brings the element to a fixed location and then for every record, you get a different Zombie with unique attributes.

Please note that unlike regular HP Mosaic, the assortments are not totally unique, and a certain elements assembly can be repeated - this will help campaigns to do something similar to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory's Golden Ticket - and allow the consumers to find a certain assembly to win a prize.

Yea one of my favorite things is to put in randomizing and see what comes out.. in my low-tech world it’s of course simply shuffling CSV cells in their respective columns.
