Definitely cool stuff Kevin, but, I have a few questions. First, where's Captain Kirk and also where's the location of VGER. lol

Very nicely done Kevin. Thank you so much.

Well Captain Kirk was recently spotted presenting Have I got News for you and VGER - 1 & 2 are currently a long way from home.


For a process that's basically geometry, it can lead to a surprisingly impressionistic outcome:

Which is this

Sample Radius: 10
Object: cylinder
Packing: tight
Modifier: xy-scale::brightness
Multiplier: 5

Kevin

does this script only work with gimp 2.8?

I'm getting "crash" messages

That's where I'm running it Cecilia; there is an error consol screen that pops up saying it's finished but it hasn't crashed on me since I updated the latest. Though it took a while, I just did an ove 12,000 object file (just a test; not showing) and it worked quite well.

I've not tried it on 2.8, I've only run it in 2.6 but I don't know of any reason it wouldn't work for 2.8.

What are the crash messages you're getting?

Kevin

That scull is just too cool Kevin. lol

Definitely looks like it could be the Elephant Man's (Joseph (John) Merreck) skull.

What the hey; still enjoying your Script-fu Kevin. Did the marble and gloss in GIMP (with help from G'MIC) since I still don't know 3d all that well.

I believe I know your issue Cecilia. What you need to do first is, where you want the file to be created, you need to right click and create a new text file but save it as filename.pov (where filename is the name that you want your file to be). I usually do this at the desktop. Then, when you run the Script-fu, you browse to where this file is and click it (use the Script-fu interface to do this). Then run it. If you don't do this, the Script-fu will run, but no file gets saved (well it does get saved, but the file will be named (null) and will be located at your main user directory).
