I added a test filter in your folder : lylejk_test_TRW
(make an update)
Very nice the rendering on the last image :o)
Thanks for the update, samj; one heck of a good job (ran it on same target as the last bust image). Appreciate the feedback on the bust too. Sorry that I forgot about the convolution step. 
Bonjour,
To make another G’MIC filter I would need these details:
- The stages of your creation in chronological order.
- The name of the filters without using abbreviations (to facilitate my understanding).
Thank you :o)
OK, Samj; made a more detailed tutorial for the Super Pixel method that I used (sans colorized step).
Reversible deformations.
Posted some at GIMPChat fyi.
Thanks, samj; I’ll share your great stuff with others at GIMPChat.

Straight filter with offset 25%/75%.
Yes; 0/0 does address center distortions. Also, do like the quantize option (haven’t shared results, but did play with this setting, samj). Well, soon, I have to head off to work for another 10 hours (work 4 10 hour shifts on weekends). Again, I really do appreciate what you’ve done. My bet is soon David will add it to the art thread.
Ripple Weave Wicker Rose
Thought I would do both horizontal and vertical ripple distortion this time (didn’t resize, though). Also added simple image overlay to get some added contrast (re-colorized of course for the canvas color).
Thanks for the words, samj. No, I used the manual method since I used g’mic>distort ripple (triangle) both in horizontal then vertical (reversed it after apply super pixel). I reversed it by flip vertical then flip horizontal running both the triangle ripple at same settings (just easier than figuring offsets). Found a better way since by just flipping 45 degrees and reversing it by flipping 180 degrees and flipping back. Haven’t show that result yet and it also doesn’t give such a tight squeeze, but I thing I can work around that issue. Yes; still playing. lol
There’s so many options with wicker that the sky’s the limit. The trick is to find reversible distortion techniques to get the various patterns. For the horizontal/vertical render, I did increase the canvas size (transparent background and centered) and once recovered, I copied the original on to to auto-crop. Doing this gets rid of edge fringing effects mostly (not all the way). I probably should call this render burlap bag. lol
Well, it’s my Friday, so soon I’ll be heading off for my final 10 hour. You have a great day, samj.
For fun here are 2 reversible distortions with the ‘Ripple’ Filter :
Amplitude=10 # <50
ripple $Amplitude,20,2,0,0
# fx_polka_dots 80,20,50,50,0,0.5,0.1,0.6,255,0,0,255
ripple $Amplitude,20,2,0,$Amplitude
Amplitude=10
ripple $Amplitude,20,0,0,0
# fx_polka_dots 80,20,50,50,0,0.5,0.1,0.6,255,0,0,255
ripple -$Amplitude,20,0,0,0
:o)
Don’t know how to run them in GIMP’s G’MIC. Tried copying these in the script box withing the GIMP G’MIC plugin but it doesn’t run. Still, I trust the result looks cool, samj. 
Bonjour,
Ripple:
I added an interface with negative values in your folder.
It will allow you, if you use it, to have negative values to facilitate reverse operations
Here is the effects illustrated.
Between the 2 effects you can put the filter you want.
:o)
Good stuff; again, thanks a heap, samj. Just got back from a birthday lunch (last week was my b’day; my friend took me out today). Ate too much at Cracker Barrel. lol
Anyway, all of your efforts are much appreciated.

I guess the updated ripple hasn’t replicated yet; did a G’MIC refresh but it’s not showing up yet. Just fyi.
Thanks, paperdigits. I’m getting older for sure but unfortunately not wiser. lol
