super amazing magnification filter! via amit p. - Sanjeev Singh

Cool, inspired me to do this http://blogoscoped.com/blownup... (but using VectorMagic for resizing) - Philipp Lenssen

I tried vectormagic on the same image, but the results don't seem as good. Vectormagic after HQ3x (or 4x) would probably do a really good job, though. - Sanjeev Singh

The HQ*x scalers are only one of many: see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... (or the docs for recent MAME versions, which include a giant stable of rescalers). - ⓞnor

I love Lenssen's images -- they do such an amazing job of capturing the spirit and flavor of the character, it's almost worth framing on the wall. - ⓞnor

I love Lenssen's images too. And the games they are from :) - Amit Patel

Lenssen's vectormagic images are definitely more museum-worthy than HQ*X blowups :) - Sanjeev Singh

Is anyone up for designing zazzle.com t-shirts with Lenssen's images? - Sanjeev Singh

I would put this up on goodies at CafePress.com, like posters or shirts, but they are pretty strict (probably more than legally necessary) with their trademark policies... but I just uploaded this as SVG for you, so feel free to run with it: http://blogoscoped.com/files... (needs some cropping still for some pics to get the original image composition) - Philipp Lenssen

The lookup table bit reminds me of the marching cubes algorithm. - Laurence Gonsalves

small update in regards to Vectormagic approach: first decrease the resolution (without resampling), then increase it using a vectorizer, see image of Marilyin Monroe http://blogoscoped.com/files... - Philipp Lenssen

hi Sanjeev Singh, http://www.hiend3d.com is not working do you have an alternative link? - Bruno Simoes
