Description

Pixel Scape (tm) turns your image into an isometric pixel landscape. The original image is analyzed according to the chosen color model and color channel, and the resulting height map is then used to generate the Pixel Scape by isometrically extruding the pixels.

Color models available for use are:
(1) HLS, (2) HSB, (3) HSY, (4) Lab, (5) RGB

In addition, this filter allows for various color effects to be applied to the stacks of pixels, modulated by each pixel's height position. These effects include hue / saturation / lightness modulations, as well as tweakable pixel outlines and variable height fade.

Tips:
- Use the 'Size, pixels' slider to control the amount of pixelization.
- 'Outline Color' controls outline brightness.
- Set 'Outline Thickness' to zero to disable outlines.
- Set Height Hue, Height Saturation and Height Lightness to 50 to remove all color variation.
- Set 'Pixel Corners' to 50 for completely heightmap controlled pixel corners.
