Animated Bling Text Logo Script V2.1

[Wallace]

Nice rewrite Tux.
Love your purple example text image.

[Akros]

The Bling Text Logo Script has been updated to Version 2.0.

GnuTux,
A doubt:
Because there are only 17 options in the dropdown menu in the script, when the script folder for over 50?
Thanks for the update.

Excellent Tux... the add ons are a pleasant bonus. Thank you.

[GnuTux]

Thanks, Wallace.

@Molly - Thanks for taking the time to test out the new version. Your results are excellent, as always.

@Akros - Each bling effect is generated from 3 patterns: 17 x 3 =51 total patterns.

While rewriting the script, it was clear there many are ways to enhance the bling effect, including generating various effects on the fly, which has all kinds of advantages. More frames being one advantage, which would greatly improved the bling effect by smoothing out the "jumpiness" in the animation. The script could also be extended to handle more than 3 external frames/patterns, with a variable number of frames being the most versatile.

These are the kinds of things I have in mind for the few next updates, which could take this script to the next level of blingyness.

lol, I am having a problem with the jumping. I deleted the bg layer and then ran the playback again and it was still jumping.
I will play with it some more during the day and see what I can get. I should be using fatter text for this so the random script doesn't work as well for me combined with your bling

Outstanding Re-write GnuTux

Thanks SysTemX. Creative results, as usual, from you.

Well, there is only so much that can be done with three frames and admittedly, the existing bling animations have room for improvement, even with only 3 frames.

One idea is to allow custom frames for overlaying animations. Any kind of animation could be overlain and integrated with an existing layer. Rather than a pattern or gradient overlay, it would be an "animation overlay", if you will. In this version of the script. you can do exactly that by selecting "Bling Only" as your Fill Method in the Alpha to Logo module. For example, choose "Bling Only" to add sparkles to the Random Font Script's output to maintain the random colors of the fonts.

Thanks I will play around with that, just did this one.

Thank you Tux, embarrassed to say, I already had it and forgot. One of these days there is going to be a lot of weeding out fonts, just too many to keep track of.

Hummm
Makes sense ... If I used my head for anything other than to adorn the neck, I would have guessed that.
Thx GT!

Very nice GnuTux ;-)

[Oregonian]

Wow, GnuTux! Fantastic! I love all the new choices in the updated version. Thank you!

[GnuTux]

Nice design, O!

Need to create a bling animation pattern where 50% of the random stars are getting bright, while the other 50% are getting dark.

Just thinking of the alternating bright to dark makes my head hurt.
