Just wondering it there is a script or plugin that can image map an image and generate a picture similar to the picture below from another image.

I hope that makes sense as reading it back it's seems clear as mud lol

How about G'MIC - Rendering - 3D blocks ?

You could try this...

Thank you Konstantin & Wallace, off to play now

This just gave me an idea for a script maybe not exactly like the effect but something close. I'll have to play and see if it comes out like i picture it in my head.

This would be cool; 3D legos instead of the 2D technique which I try to tweak got come close to 3D. Look forward to your try, Tran.

Nope i was going to pixelize it and then break it up into different layers then just apply my multiple shadows script but it takes really long to run as i have 16 layers for 16 colors and it didn't turn out all that great.

is this effect (stack_layers_by_colors script) worth sharing?
1) pixelize 10x10
2) ran stack_layers_by_colors script (you choose number of colors it turns into indexed and by layers) this script isn't up or shared yet.
3) multiple shadows (this takes minutes to run).

and this one just has a render pattern grid on top afterwards.

This works well but imho it has too large of blocks so i re edited the update file to 250 for resolution size rather than 128. Now i get much smaller sizes too work with.

open your update file in Notepad ++ and search for "3d blocks"

Code: Select all

#@gimp <b>Rendering</b>
#@gimp 3d blocks : gimp_blocks3d, gimp_blocks3d(1)
#@gimp : Resolution = int(32,1,128) <--- change this line to #@gimp : Resolution = int(32,1,250)
#@gimp : Smoothness = float(0,0,40)
#@gimp : Elevation = float(4,-10,10)
#@gimp : Size = float(1.5,0,3)
#@gimp : Angle = float(30,0,360)
#@gimp : Tilt = float(60,0,90)
#@gimp : Fov = float(45,1,90)
#@gimp : X-centering = float(50,0,100)
#@gimp : Y-centering = float(50,0,100)

You will have to change it every time you update or refresh G'MIC though.

1000x1000 image with these settings

Seems to work well with smaller images as well.
300x300 image same settings

I think that warrants a filter in artistic Tran. :bigthup

This is fantastic my friend. Could you please release the "stack_layers_by_colour_script"
And is this the multiple shadow script you used and made

Thank you Rod

3D blocks works particularly well with depth maps. If you have a depth map of a skull that you could share here, that would be cool.

In the meantime, I'll give you a hand.

Lyle does G'MIC have a way to render depth maps from images?

lylejk · **Joined:** Sep 24, 2010 **Posts:** 12856

Yes, but so slow and I've not used these presets in quite a while now. They are located under Stereoscopic 3D. Just as a side, has anyone heard anything about Tom Keil?

Thanks Lyle.

Hey i recompiled elsamukos depthmap plugin for GIMP-2.8 64 bit and tested in windows 10 64 bit
http://registry.gimp.org/node/10217
I will attach it here along with original c src file in a zip folder.

You know another neat way to get great blocks is to use Trans layer by color filter (i used 20 colors for this one) then these settings for G'MIC 3d blocks. Run G'MIC on the bottom layer in the new image that Trans filter creates.

Results

Depthmap plugin -
place in the plug-ins folder and restart GIMP.
Menu locale is Filters>Map>Depthmap.

Directions for use.
Open any image duplicate it and desaturate one. Run the filter select values click ok.

Nice!

Hey Rod,
does the elsamuko-depthmap_0.c file also need to be placed into the plug-ins folder, along with the executable?
