Getting started: The default style is to add perspective without any rotation. Open a custom font file in Gimp and run the filter with ‘Grab characters’ and ‘Merge grabbed characters’ set to ‘Yes’ to create a single layer with the chosen characters. Set the ‘Scaled grabbed characters’ option with a value of 60 percent. This will create a smaller image which will be quicker to render with perspective layers: Leave the other options at the default settings and click on ‘OK when ready’. Add a path to your image with the Path Tool to define the line of perspective for the characters to follow.

My outcome: Attachment: Full_Path_autoblur.jpg [ 132.19 KiB | Viewed 535 times ] And some images from the help/guide to illustrate other features of this release: Using the 'Shorten path' option: Attachment: Shorten_Path_90_noblur.jpg [ 582.21 KiB | Viewed 535 times ] |

'Rotate by angle' style example: Attachment: Rot_Angle_0pt5.jpg [ 54.6 KiB | Viewed 529 times ] 'Rotate by turn' example: Attachment: Rot_Turn_one_and_half.jpg [ 77.61 KiB | Viewed 529 times ] And with the same settings but using 'Anti-clockwise' for the direction: Attachment: Rot_Turn_one_and_half_anti.jpg [ 86.78 KiB | Viewed 529 times ] When you are happy with your results at a smaller size, you can always set the scaling to zero for the grabbed characters, hit ‘OK’ and go and put the kettle on (or walk the dog) while your machine is busy. Anyway – lots of room for play with this one I think. Have fun! |
