Bas-Relief of Christopher Walken as Emperor Shaddam Corrino IV

YES.  THANK you CHristopher Walking for setting in some determination. 

Learned a neat trick to apply a pseudo x/y offset to a generated depth map - the z offset. You need to do a thin z offset displacement and then use resize on the Z axis till you get the depth you really desire. Then You use apply all transforms. this recalculates some shit I don't understand... but then the magic happens. When you apply the details from the pic (in this case a stable diffusion generated bas-relief pic) those details wrap around the edges. This was another Brute Force find. I just wanted to get it to work so badly that after a week of dinkingg around I finally got something to work.  If you compare the side view to my other models in this DUNE series, you will notice a HUGE difference in the side view quality.
