Hi, i wonder if someone can explain a way to do this effect in gimp, thanks.

I'm sure with a grid texture, and using the displacement effect can be done, but in the try i failed.

I'l pretty sure this wasn't done with Gimp. The displace map usually adds a rather visible blur...

Here's a fake that used G'MIC's 3D Blocks followed by Isophots.

Slightly different settings then followed the result with Gradient Norm preset (again, another G'MIC preset).

Pretty cool Lyle. Especially the top one.

Thanks Molly; still, it's a fake. Maybe David can come up with a true wireframe that can detect the contours of facial features like his 3D Blocks preset does.

You inspired me gjg; believe it or not, I've been wanting to do renders like this for a few years now and your inspiration induced me to think how now that I've learned a few tricks. Recently, David released 3D Blocks and voila; got a brain fart. lolol

It's an honour be able to inspire you.

I'm still fascinated with the 3d blocks, it's a amazing filter, I wish in the future be pro like David or you or everybody who is behind G'mic.
