More than text filters, I think this could be interesting to have G'MIC filters that operates on simple black and white shapes (text or whatever) and add some relief/textures on them. I don't have so much time to go in this direction, but this is something I already thought about.

oh yes! that would be great! hope someone feels a sudden great urge to write that kind of g'mic filters, i work a lot more with shapes than with text and i would love it if there were filters like that in g'mic too.

is this hijacking the topic?

I played around with your gel text, Esper. I added an inverted drop shadow of X & Y = 0, blur = 30, Opacity = 100 and moved it below the bevel layers.

I used black text and then discarded it after doing the bevel and drop shadow.

I made the background, duplicated it and did alpha to selection and inverted and cut the top background layer.

Any here are my results.

I've added the xcf file of my layers if anyone wants to look.

Thank you Molly, Odin and AnMal. I'm thinking we need to get Graechan making us a script for it.

I told Graechan yesterday that I am going to have to make a special folder, just for his scripts so they will all be together. He is so good at it.

Here is my attempt, by the way I didn't even use the Layer Effect plug-in, just the Bump Map for the highlights of the text...

Thank you Esper, I gonna record a video creating the effect. The only thing is that like in all my videos, I am not going to speak, my English is not that good, that's why I never speak.

OK, i am having problems with my screen recorder but i finally created a video with tips on how to create something like the Gel/water effect. Maybe later I'm going to upload it to Youtube, for now I only uploaded it to MediaFire, the name of the video is GelText.mov. Here is the link http://www.mediafire.com/?de7ealzm25wvljp .

Very good Xgeous!
I agree with Esper, I learned some new tricks from your video.

had a look at the video, great, but it's so complex for a poor beginner that I hope some expert developer will translate all the stuff into a script, maybe...

xgeous: i don't much like video tutorials, but yours was admirably done! so easy to follow, you go slow enough for anyone to pick up on what's happening and i could work along with the video pretty well. thank you for sharing!

Excellent video, Xgeous! I don't know how you did all that in a video without messing up but you sure did. I learned a few really good tricks from it, too.

I was particularly fascinated with the way you made the second layer much larger and then all the steps you took to take it down to image size. I'm going to play with that.

Thanks!
