"Visual forensic" is a method of 3D facial reconstruction used by Phillipe Froesch.
Fortunately, Bolívar is known from contemporary portraits, which helps a great deal.
This video shows some of the other faces he has reconstructed from skulls.

Like a lot of other kinds of digital graphics, these images suggest a greater level of certainty than anthropologists really have.
