Is this the sort of effect you are looking for?
I used a bump map from Poser. I thought Kenneth was on the right track.
I tried reducing the colour depth. Which wasn't very useful.
The bump map was just copied from P4 woman bump.TIF and had no processing

That is indeed something along the right track. However, bump maps are
essentially identical to depth maps. In your example the contrasts are
appropriately stronger and thus giving better results.
Doing some tricks on my depth map along these lines I got an alien
sculpture.

I recognise that face. :)
You've just about got the scale right.
The thing about poser bump maps is that they are designed as a depth map
for the human body. The nose doesn't work very well as it should be
mapped to a mesh.

That is acceptable. :)
I might try creating a df3 and see what that does.

Using a rough and ready df3 made from a poser mesh and tga2df3.
I got this. I quite like it.

Don't even try. Keep working as if size -- um, I mean, case -- matters.
It's the better habit anyway.

If I'm understanding correctly, he's talking about the command-line
parameters of some (very) old DOS commands.
At the command prompt (and in batch files), the pipe symbol has special
meaning in both the DOS/Windows and Unix world, and thus designing
commands to use the pipe symbol for their own purposes has gone out of
favour.
It has nothing to do with scene files.

dir |more
This induce a pose after each creen full with the display of [more] on
the last line. Press any key, the [more] goes away, and you get the next
screen full.
"dir /w |more" will display on 5 column and pose after a screen full.
I think that "dir |more /w" will causse an error or ignore the /w option.

Isn't that the traditional piping of output in the input of another command ?
