Logo Toolbox V2.3

[molly]

Thank you, I will be sure to give that a try. I have the font but I don't have the green waves pattern.
Edit: I tried it with what I already have and it works great. This will take some more experimenting to get it like I want. I do like that wavy effect on yours though.

Here's the Green Waves pattern.

Thank you Odin

Looks great, Molly.

Here is the Purples gradient, in case you don't have it.

Thank you, I do have the purples, just wanted to try the copper, There is no end to the possibilities of this script, Kudo's

Tux i know that soap bubble script utilizes the IWARP tool in RUN-INTERACTIVE mode so it pops up. Can you add this to the logo toolbox so drips and melting can be added to the effects? Something like a box to tick so the plugin either pops up or being not ticked it doesn't run at all?

I've added the iWarp option to the new Version 2.0 of this script.

I've redesigned the UI for V2.0, breaking out the background, Shadow and Misc Effects into their own options dialogs. I think it simplifies the workflow and makes the script a little more intuitive.

Since every element is on its own layer, I've added the option to perform the interactive iWarp on either the Fill Layer or the Bump Layer, matching the drop shadow (if enabled) to the proper layer. There is also a dialog for global feather amount (default=3), which you will need to set to 0 when using iWarp, to avoid any anomalies.

I'm attaching the script for your testing. Let me know if you can think on anything else and I'll get in incorporated before I release V2.0.

Rod,

I noticed that the earlier version I posted probably didn't do what you were after because the selection was in place, limiting the output of the iWarp.

This version lets you work outside the selection with iWarp. I could add another option to merge down the stroke before iWarping, which would be a little more versatile so let me know if this is what you're after.

[GnuTux]

Interesting results playing around with the iWarp. The layers it creates for animation can also be used as a kind of extrusion.

[molly]

This is very cool, thanks Tux. I downloaded the newest one 30 mins ago and removed the other one. Is it done...

[Rod]

Thanks Tux just installing now and i will let you know. I do however like the idea of merging the stroke so it all gets drippyfied.

[Rod]

I am wrong. I think it is a better overall effect to leave the stroke out of the IWARP pipeline.

This is the logo dialog settings.

This is IWARP

This is the result after bumping (stroke layer invisible).


Pretty awesome Tux!
Just needs some smoothing on the drip edges...a small non-interactive blur on the bump layer you think?

Well, the idea is to have one logo script that can take the place of many, so as long as I can come up with new fills and effects to add, this script will never really be done. It will only be abandoned, at some point.

The concept of using Logo Toolbox to create a number of Logo effects in gimp has been a great success, congrats GnuTux

[molly]

Got it, thanks

[GnuTux]

Thank you, Graechan. That means a lot coming from another coder whose opinion I value.

Sorry, Molly. I've got another update.

Since this is an untested pre-release of V2.0, changes and bug fixes will be frequent until it's been fully tested and released.

Rod,

Here is an updated version (see below), with edge smoothing applied to the iWarp effect. Also, it turns out the anomaly I was seeing was not related to the Global Feather. It was related to selection issue, which was fixed earlier. So, you can leave the Global Feather set to 3, if you want.

I have also changed the background fill to support Pattern, Gradient, Color or None. Setting the stroke width to zero directs the script not to generate a stroke Layer.

[molly]

Got it,

[molly]

Another example of Tux and Graechan's great filters.

[GnuTux]

That's some nice bling you got going there, Molly.

[molly]

Thank you, I don't know how you do that squiggley thang.
