Greachan, it only appears in the Alpha to Logo Section of the script. You can run the script from the File/Create menu, hit Ctrl-z, which will undo everything except the text layer, then run from the Aplha to Logo menu. That allows you to quickly create the text, then you can run with all the options available in the Alpha to Logo menu.

All of my Logo Scripts work this way.

With a Ring Curve..

GnuTux have you thought of adding a 'condition' to the script that the ML bevel reflect plugin is installed

Code: Select all

(define (blurb)
(cond ((defined? 'plug-in-mlbevelreflect) TRUE)
script blurb
(else
   (let ((handler (car (gimp-message-get-handler))))
   (gimp-message-set-handler 0)
   (gimp-message "plug-in-mlbevelreflect\nis not installed")
    (gimp-message-set-handler handler))))

Actually, yeah. I was planning on doing that and mentioned it earlier in this thread. I just forgot about it.

Thanks for reminding me. I'll try to remember to add that check to the next update. :hehe

Those are some pretty cool effects, Molly. You just gotta remember to merge down your Text layer onto a transparent layer (or discard text info) before running. ML Bevel Reflect will create those lines on either side when running a "floating" Text Layer.

Oh, and where's the contour curves? :mrgreen:

Thanks, I will remember to do that next time about the lines, ... and I don't know how to run the curves, before or after the script, alpha or value. I tried one and it sucked so changed it back.

Step Bevel - Depth 10 - Round Curve 1

Outer Bevel - Depth 15 - Round Curve 1

I've been using the routine to help Old Fellas like me to remember that a non default plugin is required

Now to play with some curves

Forgot about the lines

I resize BR logo layer by 4 offset -2 to remove,

What plugin are you talking about
Hee hee, you have the black lines too.

Molly I was referring to a conditional start of the script that basically says start if the ML bevelreflect plugin is installed or else give a message telling user to install the plugin, and yes I get the lines to, we all get the lines

GnuTux to remove the lines try this I resized the image before and after running plugin it worked

Code: Select all

   (gimp-image-resize img (+ (car (gimp-image-width img)) 4) (car (gimp-image-height img)) 2 0)
   (gimp-layer-resize-to-image-size bumpmap-layer)

   (plug-in-mlbevelreflect 
                           interactive      ; Interactive (0), non-interactive (1)
                           img              ; Input image
                           bumpmap-layer    ; Input drawable
                           FALSE            ; Invert Flag
                           (+ bevel-slope 1); Slope-Flat (1), Slope-Round1 (2), Slope-Round2 (3) 
                           slope-smoothing  ; Smoothing For Flat Slope (INT8 Blur Radius 1-32)
                           emap-drawable    ; Light Probe image, HDRi Probe Images or Spherical Environment Map (-1 = NormMap)
                           diffusion)       ; Diffusion: Float - Diffuse (0) <---> Shiny (1)
   
   (gimp-image-resize img (- (car (gimp-image-width img)) 4) (car (gimp-image-height img)) -2 0)
   (gimp-layer-resize-to-image-size bumpmap-layer)

Ok thanks. I'm not a fan of resizing original images, due to the artifacts that creep in during the interpolation, but I'll take a look at see how it affects the original. Only a couple of pixels might not matter that much.

Re-sizing the canvas does not effect any of the layers contents it just allows for easy removal of the artifact left by the plugin

Oh, I misunderstood. You said you were resizing the "image". Yeah, if resizing the canvas does the job, I'll add that to the next release.

Graechan · **Posted:** Fri Feb 14, 2014 1:52 am **(#178)**

The artifact always seemed to be just over 1 pixel wide which is why I set the re-size to 2 pixels each side

GnuTux · **Posted:** Fri Feb 14, 2014 2:03 am **(#179)**

That sounds good, Graechan. Good job! Increase the canvas, let ML BR add the line, decrease the canvas and get rid of it. Works for me. :bigthup
