A quick update to this script to support true random number generation. It now seeds the random number generator using the system clock to avoid repeatedly generating the same set of random numbers.

As usual, you can download EnviroMap V1.4 from GIMP Scripts.

Thanks Tux. Nice update.

Thank you Tux... I can't keep up with you scripters.

You're welcome. This should be the last update on this one for awhile, unless there's a bug I've missed.

I can't think of anything else to add. Well, at least for now.

Thank You

Updated to support Spherical Environment Maps, as well as the option to Interactively map via GIMP's Map To Object plug-in.



The update is available on GIMP Script.

Thanks tux, love the part, at least for now...

I downloaded the update. how would the sphere be created? I don't get it.

Never mind, I figured it out

Open GIMP and create a new blank image: 400px by 400px or whatever size you want. It should be a square image in order to properly map to a sphere.

Then just run the script, toggle on Generate Spherical Map and click OK.

Make sure you have version V1.5.1, there was a typo in V1.5

I'm guessing that the script doesn't provide the eviro-maps. So I need to have those jpg image or some other image to use as an eviro-map for the script to function?

Never mind... I think I got it.
You create the eviro-map with the script, then use it to bump-map whatever you're working on.
Is this correct?

This script will actually generate environment maps from a selected (or active) gradient. You can then use the generated environment map in GIMP's lighting filter or for a variety of other things. Today's update added an option to map the generated environment map to a sphere, for use with the MLBevelReflect plugin. The script uses a random seed, along with multiple user defined parameters, to render endless variations of several types of environment maps from a given gradient.

Once generated, the environment map is then "mapped" to an object or text. With the MLBevelReflect plugin, it's basically mapped directly to the bump map, In GIMP's Lighting filter, it's mapped to an image or text, utilizing a bump map for that image or text..

Okay thanks Tux.

Hello,
Do anybody have this script ? because I can't download it on gimpscripts.

Thank you

Merci beaucoup

Thanks for the script Wallace, I didn't have it either...
