BTW, you are adherent of 2.6.11, can you run BevelReflect interactively [2nd check box in script dialogue],
or the improbable has happened and you're using 2.8?

I actually need a few more, including a multiline text entry box, line spacing and an option for edge smoothing. There's really nothing I can drop without losing versatility.
As I mentioned previously, you can still run from there by pressing enter in the text entry box.![]()
The buttons at the bottom are not that useful on the Create Logo screen, anyway.

@AnMal - Yes. You should check it out. If does a nice job with shiny reflections.
@Molly - The gradient I used for that is one I sampled from an image of actual Chrome. There is quite a lot of black in it, but I always jack up the lightness/brightness/contrast on the final result anyway. I do need to sample a few more gradients from chrome images, so I can have a better arsenal. I think I specified to create a Topo Map using a bi-linear blend more, but you can play with those settings to get the result you're after. Since there is randomness involved, you should run each tweak several times and when you get just the right map, copy it to a new image and save it for later use. I'm starting to build up a library of good emaps. When we get enough, we can post and combine them.

I noticed that your text shows some jagged edges, especially the 2nd one. Perhaps you did something to cause the jagged edges, or it might just be attributable to one of the the main problems with the ML Bevel Reflect plug-in, its lack of anti-aliasing. A white background can really show off jagged edges too. I think I'll attempt add some edge smoothing/anti-aliasing code to this script.
