nice one GT

Tried another one

Thanks, Sallyanne. All the results posted to this thread look nice.


Sorry. I posted the wrong template, Molly. I've updated that post with the correct one so you can try again. I used a solid color map, with the Round Bevel & default depth, to get my result but you can experiment with that.

That last one looks pretty cool, though.

Thanks Tux, I will play with that later.
EDIT: Couldn't put it away

They all look great. Molly, your light blue one makes me think of fine bone china.

Mine, on the other hand, looks like a paper plate to me.

Thanks, Yours looks like it could be styrofoam.

yes just the kind you get when you buy chicken broth, the chicken parts are just specs.

Oldman, Molly, "O", GT
you all are "plate" magicians !!!
Sally, You "invented" a very interesting & challenging topic!

I'm hoping Graechan or Gnutux (or both together) will write a script....

Thanks dinasset but now we need some nice food on them.

tortellini? lasagne? tagliatelle? ...

garden salad on the top one and one of the 3 on the bottom.

have a nice lunch, Molly!
I had already my dinner....

Thanks I am having my home made chili and crusty bread that would knock your socks off, It called for 3 tbls chili powder and I was out of it so I put in 3 tbls of crushed chili's. I have to keep my tongue on an ice cube between bites.

Both of your results turned out excellent, Molly. Looks like you got the depth just right.

Your does look like a bit like fancy paper plate, O.


For my result, it's already written. I created a template and then used BRL to generate the plate. It's just a matter of learning how to create a template to make BRL do what you want it to do.

Of course, you could do the shadowing and beveling by manually using individual scripts to get a nice result. That could then be scripted.

Thanks to you for the template, that did the job for me.

I see several references here to 'BRL' and templates - can somebody please enlighten this ignoramus as to what is BRL?

Bevel Reflect Logo and you can get it here. http://gimpscripts.com/?s=bevel+
You also need ML Bevel which is right below the BRL to make these scripts work.

Wow that was a super quick response - thank you very much Molly! There is so much in this place to get one's head around.

Well what I would say about your work that I have seen so far, you are way ahead of the game.
