First, I created a square image (500x500).
Then I created a new layer with text filled in the middle half, then layer to image size it and select the text layer as the layer to use the below script to make multiple calls to map object (sphere).

here's the result.
before:
Image
after:
Image

another one.

here's link to the script:
http://gimpscripts.com/2015/09/spherical-zoom/
script will be available under Script-Fu/Sphere-zoom.
It just simply calls map object 20 times as it scales each copy of original layer up in increments of 2.

I wonder if this script/effect is good for anything at all :D

Nice trick... But it should also work with cylinder and plane?

Pretty cool. I did have to make some adjustments for it to work.The text does have to be centered, as you say, but can only be so wide too. The selection it makes when you activate it, the letters have to be within those parameters, if that makes sense. If not, you get artifacts on either side.

Yeah if you go a little outside of the middle half, you get artifacts. as the layer is scaled up... but i think you only shared a single layer instead of the whole 3D effect.

Yeah, that was only one layer.

you need to share view all 20 layers to get the 3D effect though

or are you just showing me the artifacts.

Here's an example:

As the script is activated:

okay, i added "plane" and "cylinder".
beware of cylinder though it takes a really long time.

plane (It just produced all white so i merged all layers except the very top layer and darken them, left the very top layer bright).

cylinder

Looks cool Tran; more then just for text as well. Would like to add number of passes (takes way too long for 20; others may want a little dimension. I say 5 to 30). :)

added "Map object iterations:" a number between 5 and 30 inclusively.

Appreciate the comments Warrior.

Thanks Tran. Just wish the sphere would auto-size for bigger result (I know it can't without requiring a heck of a lot of processing power and time). I wonder if a G'MIC coder can do this in G'MIC and for random fills as well as text? Maybe for one more request, to add gradient effects to the inner extrusion; I eyeballed mine using conical gradient. :)

I have no idea of "adding gradient effects to the inner extrusion"?
I just run map object multiple times to create that effect don't know how i would control gradient and not sure what you mean by inner extrusion.

As you can sort of tell, I merged visible layers (turning top layer off) and I created a conical grandient and set result to difference and merged. I then turned top layer on and merged down. :)

not exactly sure what you mean...
That might work for the plane one but the spherical and cylinder i think already ready has different shades that looks pretty convincing i don't know if applying a gradient will make it better.

I am not sure which image you have applied your gradient to either.

Wallace, did you make the light of the letters shine out in rays or is that my eyes playing tricks on me? It's super good looking that way.

Good idea to use spherical motion blur set to internal Wallace. Like the rays too. :)
