It's been a few day since I created my last Text effect plugin. Here is my recent one.

Use the default settings if you preferred natural metal (no color)

I managed to reverse engineer your effect using GEGL. If I manage to turn it into a filter I will credit you for the inspiration.


Here is my GEGL Graph

Code: Select all
id=1
gimp:layer-mode layer-mode=behind aux=[  grid   ]
gimp:layer-mode layer-mode=split aux=[  ref=1  dropshadow  x=0 y=0 radius=1 grow-radius=2 opacity=1 dropshadow radius=5 y=2 x=5 ]
gegl:dropshadow x=0.00  y=0.00 radius=0.00 grow-shape=circle grow-radius=2 opacity=1.5 color=#000000
color-overlay value=#008ef6
id=2
crop
gaussian-blur std-dev-x=1.5 std-dev-y=1.5
emboss type=bumpmap depth=2
dropshadow x=2 y=4 opacity=0.25  radius=1


Cool filter regardless.

No I did not. My plugin is different in certain ways. His script creates a wire background and the grit is straight and a text on top of the background grit. Mine create a text connected to the metallic wire. In my plugin have an intergrated text connecred to the wire or grit. The wire connection is offset a bit, not straight. That way the the connection have an interlace effect look.
Anyway, thanks for the link.

Pocholo thanks for this plugin. I myself have an older version in Gimp.2.8. I don't know what the cause is, but if I use a different font I don't get a nice result.

Make sure you have a medium or a bold font.

Ok, now this is what I get when I apply the levels filter to your result.
