I was asked to develop a tutorial to create a glass vase originally posted in my Glass Ornaments & Effects thread. I could not remember the exact colours I used originally, but I think this is close ...



The tutorial is contained in the attached zip file, along with gradients and a clear gem e-map with which to create the glass. It is a detailed step by step approach, certainly not targetted at GIMP experts and certainly not a quickie!!

I have difficulty adequately proof reading my own documents, so please bear with me and let me know if there are any problems.

Definitely and awesome looking vase; maybe we can get Diego to create a python script to automate the process (you know how lazy I can be; lol).

Thank you so much!!!!!

Nicely done and very colorful. Thanks for the tutorial download.

OMG, I've enjoyed a lot doing your tutorial and learning more about paths.
I thank you the time and effort to write your nice tutorial.
As you can see, I did some different applications at my own taste as you gave option for it.

Issabella - a speedy response and a brilliant outcome. well done

EDIT - it seems you also managed to overcome the errors I made in specifying the guidelines - even more well done.

Corrected PDF Tutorial v2 has now been place in first post

Thank you so much OMG. You did a very nice tutorial so that we all can learn. Members, as you are, make this forum be so nice and special.

Thank you very much, OMG. I cannot really express how much I learn doing your tutorials! I really appreciate the time and effort you give to us to help us learn. Your tutorials are very organized and teach a very systematic way to proceed through the steps to completion. You also give some explanations for some steps which is also very helpful to understand why something is done.

Lyle should recognize the background I borrowed for the vase (and he says he is not a glass guru!)

Can't wait until I can start on the Brumbies!!

Pat, your result is absolutely fantastic and superb. I agree with you to your words to OMG.

Thank you Issabella. It took me awhile as I did not have the time to do it all at once. OMG's instructions are explicit, aren't they! I liked your vase also. It is really glossy like real glass.

Thank you so much Pat. OMG's tutorials are written in detail and really to teach us to do things so beautiful. I hope you got the background .pat which I used.

Yes, I did. Downloaded and in my pattern folder. I'm thinking as to what I can use it for soon. Thank you.

Pat625 and Issabella - thank you for doing the tut, posting your results which are all excellent, and also for your nice comments. It really is all about having fun so keep enjoying GIMP!!

Only saw this tut this morning so thought I would try it.

Kimba: Looks very nice. It was a good tutorial. Hope you had fun doing it.

Kimba - I was surprised to see this tut pop up again but you have created an excellent and different outcome. Good one.

Thank you OMG and Pat. It was fun and has addicted me to paths and BRL I think.

Nice Kimba, good job.

Thanks Issabella.
