My photo rendered using polygons  Okay, this is really nothing
more than a cool toy, but it is still really cool! This is made
using a simple application by Roger Alsing that starts with a
blank slate and then adds some random polygons to it. The result
is compared to the source image and if it looks closer then it
is kept, otherwise it is discarded. The kept result is then
further mutated and compared again and so forth. After a while,
it gets pretty close to the original source.  There was a bit of
skeptism about this when this was first spread over the
Internet, but the creator has since made his source code and
binaries available via Google, so go download it and play with
it if you’re so inclined. The author originally used the program
to generate an image of the Mona Lisa and he managed to get a
very good representation after about 900,000 generations and
using 50 polygons. Unfortunately I happened to pick a rather
more complex photo, and this is what I got after having the
computer working at it whole
