Thanks guys.
Pretty settled on two rotation options now.
Obviously heavy on memory resources but (didn't actually time it) not an overly long time to draw.
Need to investigate things like pre-scaling and blur methods to improve current edge appearance.

That is always hard on memory..THE Blur. Hard to manage in FF as well. I only asked how long because i thought maybe your tomatoes grew a bit whilst it was hammering out.

On another note.
Can you remember this one? (If you can't see it, it is because it is an APNG animation).

HINT! The answer is in the title of the image.



Mr. Q
Possible box addition?

That's certainly a blast from the past.

Sorry to take over the thread with this but since Rod asked...

Couple of progress images to show scaling (the difference in blur is mostly due to the temporary blur used - work to do there next)

Firstly a screenshot (so the user path is visible) after using a full turn rotation along the user path at full size:



and a second screenshot with the scaling set to 50%:

Just a little wood.

Fixed the Old Stone script.
Just changed the bump map ambience variable range from 255 to 1.0.

Running it throws an error for #11. It no longer supports 0 - 255.
Now the supported range is 0 - 1.0

If you run the filter now with the settings as they are as default.



SCM attached


You place in your scripts folder and refresh scripts or start Gimp.
This fix is for the latest PDB calls in Gimp-2.10.32. Earlier versions may not need it fixed.
You will find the filter under Text Effects in your image window.

I have found more that are going to throw errors as well. I'll fix and attach them as i go.
However i will post them in Gimp Scripts and Plugins.

Nice job Rod...
the more texture effects the better.

Scaling and blur done now - just a tidy up and help sheets and examples to do.

I like the way you show off, Skinnyhouse! Great plugin. Loads of fun.

Way to go guys. They are all magnificent!

Here is my latest text effect. Surprising how one thing can change it!
Text was done just using a light brown gradient to colour. Then I did all the outer/inner bevel + emboss. I ran recursive transform to get the extra layers. Last of all I added a lighting effects bump and it turned almost metalic looking.

Sallyanne, that metalic look is impressive! I like it a lot.

Skinnyhouse, you get such stylist results. I love them.

Really this thread is very interesting. Thanks to you all for yours contributions.

Thank you Isabbella, Like that one you just did

Excellent! This is probably going to be my next desktop background.
Just gotta figure out the invisible Gimp splash png.

Here we go!

You turn round twice and this thread has produced more great effects...
Rod & Issa & Sallyanne

Sallyanne: as soon as I saw yours in large size the phrase 'Like jello on springs' from 'Some like it hot' jumped into my head! Amazing!

Thank you guys. Rod what an amazing effect. Awww what a compliment
@Skinny, song title?

Sallyanne: B&W Film - Jack Lemmon remarks to Tony Curtis (whilst disguised as two ladies) about the appearance of Marilyn Monroe's curves from the rear.

Cool skinny
