Pop Out Text

[Rod]

This filter is based on a tutorial by tutor4u here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfPV1Yp_rlU

The results running the filter in default mode.


The dialog has a few settings to play with including selecting a pattern and shadow color.


Remember you need to have just ONE text or shape layer for the script to work correctly. OR make the bg invisible first.

Filter (SCM) needs to go in your user directory/.gimp-2.8/scripts folder.
Refresh scripts (Filters>Refresh Scripts) and the filter can be found at Rod>Pop Out Effect in the GIMP menus.

Version 2 update - Fixed artifacts problem.
Version 3 update - fixed blur on shadow

Here is another with default settings but a different pattern selection.



I find that if you pick a part of the pattern that is darker for shadow color you get some great results.

I think i fixed it O and thank you. Please download the newer version attached to first post and replace the old one.

By the way if you want the pop out to be more defined just make the original TEXT layer visible.

You can get the pattern here: viewtopic.php?p=17187#p17187

I colorized it, copied it to the clipboard and used it in the image.

It's looking good. Working fine. No white border now.

Thank you for the script Rod.

[Oregonian]

They looked that way to me, too, for awhile. Now they are popping out.

I tried but failed to do a pop out text but this works great, thanks Rod

@ Rod: The first two result look Embossed, but then again Oregonian's and Odin look poped up. Is it my vision Rod?

Looked chiselled to me at first but I soon figured it could be seen either way

Whether it looks Popped in or Popped Out, or neither, I still like the text effect.( I did not do the images)

I really like that pat.

[2-ton]

tried out the script, and to me, it doesn't look popped out or in. It just looks flat with some borders.

Molly: Thank you. The font is Black Chancery. Someone used it recently for something and I thought it looked very nice, so I tried it. I'm thinking whether the text looked popped out or not depends on the type of background the text is on.

it's easy to notice the pop-out effect
