    • Keith Brogan [Send us a link if you've got it. -AB] used a NextEngine 3D scanner and modo software to build a 3D mesh of Nintendo icon Mario, to which he then applied an array of brick-sized shapes.

    Finally, Keith built the large-scale Mario out of real LEGO bricks:

      Awesome, I need one of those 3-D scanners. I’d probably never do anything with it, but who cares?

      I wonder what the result would be if a minifig were scanned?

      This is some real dedication!!! Waste of time or not, the result is awesome. I wonder if TLC will eventually implement something like this at legoland.

      Implement what: a Mario, or this technology?
