Apache Face! In 3d!

I must admit, I'm not a big fan of stereo/3d in its current stage, but due to the nature of my work, I get to play with it now and then. 
Though I find it gimmicky and the glasses too distracting, its still fascinating and I do enjoy it when its done well, in small doses. Once I forget its there, I it adds a lot to my immersion, but most times its done in a way that calls too much attention to itself, and breaks the spell yadda yadda.


Anyways, I played with this guy, using the displacement filter + a painted depthmap and got this.
