3D-Extrusion Troubleshooting (SOLVED)

GnuTux · **Posted:** Sun Jul 03, 2011 12:38 am **(#1)**

The root of cause of the problem with 3D-Extrusion has been determined to be an issue with the script: images-grid-layout.scm, which redefines several global math functions. including the round function. GIMP users who have images-grid-layout.scm installed are potentially going to have problems with any other script that makes use these functions (i.e. 3D Extrusion).

At this point, the solution is to remove or better yet, use the updated images-grid-layout.scm, which SaulGoode and Odin have fixed in this thread.

That's strange... I don't have an explanation as to why this might be happening.
Can you try it again, but this time post the XCF file of your results.

as you can see I keep getting the same result

Hi, Wallace. I have the same problem as Gimper. I don't get the 3Dtext extrusion.

I'm sorry Gimper66, but I can't figure out what is happening with your extrusion not showing as it should.

Have you tried looking for and removing any and all scripts that may contain a similar or the same name ie. "Extrusion" or "3D"
as part of it's file name?
Then obtain a newly downloaded 3D Extrusion script from gimpscripts.com and installing it?

I've reviewed your xcf file attachment and it appears that the extrusion is more or less at 90° and not at the 225° setting as shown it the tutorial.
If you did enter in 225° as the extrusion's direction, then again... I'm at a loss to explain why this too is occurring.
The only thing I can think of is a script conflict that might be causing this malfunction.
Other that this I can't offer much more insight into these issues, I'm sorry.

this is what I have in my script folder
the two scripts in yellow I delete but no result
do you see scripts that works one against the other

GnuTux · **Posted:** Thu Mar 12, 2015 1:18 pm **(#10)**

The only thing I can think of that would keep the script from producing the correct extrusion layer would be if the selection was not correct.

For example, "select all" would not work because the selection would be around edges of the image canvas. An inverted selection doesn't work either. The extrusion works on the active selected layer in the stack. If the selection for that active layer is clear, the script will perform an "alpha to selection". Otherwise , the user is expected to manually make a valid selection.

The extrusion script works for me on .the xcf files posted.

I guess it's possible there is a conflict with something else or multiple versions of the script installed in different locations, but I doubt that's the case. If something was missing or amiss, you'd think GIMP would toss an error.

You could also test the 3D Extrusion script itself, by temporarily removing all but the 3D Extrusion script and then trying to run this script as normal. If the 3D Extrusion script works after doing this, then there is something within your scripts folder that's causing the conflict/issue.
You can then began to replace your script back into your user scripts folder, in small groups. Then testing the script with each newly pasted script placed into your scripts folder.
This may take a while, but it's the only way that I'm aware of that will help to find the script conflict. If it is a script conflict that is actually causing this issue.

Sure thing Tux. :bigthup

What you've explained makes a lot of sense. However... the tutorial doesn't utilizes a "manually valid selection", but rather lets the script create the selection for the active layer.

as you see I have removed all scripts
but without result

The script's file extension doesn't appear to be the proper extension.
If you open this file in Note pad or some similar text editing program, then save the file as 3d-extrusion.scm, that may solve the issue. Although I can't guarantee that this will work, but it's worth a try.
You may also want to check Gimp's script folder ie. for Windows... C:\Program Files\Gimp-2.8\share\gimp\2.0\scripts, for anything that may have the same or similar name and remove those files for Gimp's script folder.

Note:
Only delete files that you no longer want/need. Otherwise place them somewhere so you can retrieve them later.

Wallace, I put the settings you said, how it didn't work for me. I tried to move the layer extrusion a bit. Here another try but nothing happens running 3D extrusion.

Issabella · **Posted:** Thu Mar 12, 2015 2:47 pm **(#15)**

Could someone to drop a script that works all right for you? :tyspin

molly · **Joined:** Apr 07, 2010 **Posts:** 14182

I downloaded the XCF and it works fine for me.

Issabella · **Posted:** Thu Mar 12, 2015 2:56 pm **(#17)**

Thank you Molly. I mean the script itself.

I used your script but no result
I think there is something wrong with my gimp 2.8.10
tomorrow I'm going to remove it and reloading it will be the latest gimp

Good Luck Gimper66! :bigthup
