Selection bevel and Render texture Python plug-ins

Oregonian · **Posted:** Tue Apr 19, 2011 11:20 am **(#121)**

The curves added a little greenish corrosion to the copper text which is good. I should have used a darker bevel as it kind of got lost in the color curves.

The addition of color curves to the script would be very nice.

I don't know how you did your color curves, dd, but I did mine after I merged the bevel layer to the text layer.

Hi cecilia, hope you get your plugins working. I also suggest you download the new updated version of selection bevel. (note that you'll have to remove the old 1.41 file from the plugin directory if you do!)

I have now uploaded Bevel 1.5 in the registry. I suggest everyone who likes this script to upgrade asap, the preview function comes real handy.

The new version also lets you select any layer mode, instead of just 4 of them. I just tried doing a bevel on multiply, and it works nice when you add another thinner bevel on soft light on top of it... (yeah I know, it's not like you couldn't change the layer mode yourself before... but this saves you the trouble!

)

indeed, with the immediate and friendly help I have everything working. and this morning I saw the newest version and downloaded it !

As soon as I figure out the subtleties of this Fabulous plug-in I'll post my modest attempts.

If you want to add any more features it would be to have a Save and Load Settings, but having a Preview is wonderful!!

thank you thank you! :jumpclap

using mostly the default settings I just tried these and also used the Texture plugin (cause What The heck) :hehe

this is truly one of THE coolest plugins I have found over the years for GIMP

and I've been using GIMP since I got Red Hat in 2003

I see great potential here

Nice work, and I'm glad you're happy with the plugin

As for save/load settings... I'm not totally sure if that's doable, I'll have to peruse the gtk specs to see if they have any generic save/load routines that would work on all os:s... I am however planning a feature that saves the settings on the bevel layer itself so you can simply redo the the layer with the same settings but with new shape.

Ok, fans of bevel... here's a mini-update which I'm not going to upload to the registry (yet)... it has the gloss-function added. It's a simple on/off checkbox, and here's an image where you can see the difference with otherwise same settings:

Upper - without gloss
Lower - with gloss

used gloss on both an inner and outer bevel (with a background I "stole" from this thread) :yes

I had to try out the new addition to the bevel-er filter.

- nicely done dd!

A slight update is up at the registry - http://www.registry.gimp.org/node/25199

The repeat effect (ctrl-f) now functions properly, as does non-interactive mode (you can use the script from the console or call it from your own scripts).

That's great, dd. You've really worked long and hard on this. I like the new gloss effect.

Render texture has been updated, it also has a preview function now. Also, all layer modes + opacity setting.

Get it from the registry http://registry.gimp.org/node/25198

SHOW SPOILER

Makes a great Cloudy Texture, just lower the Opacity a bit and you get that.

dd i can't keep up with you.

Nice additions to the filter. :bigthup

This is cool. Invites playing.

I LOVE this version of texture. It's so 3D! The depth was set to 25.

tried to put this into a mac via textedit...fail. textedit will not allow .py as an extension.

I know literally nothing about macs (the last mac I used was one of those black&white soapboxes) so can't help you there...

Well, apart from the UI, the code is the same... I just set the default "elevation" setting to 40 instead of 50, so maybe that's what you're noticing.

added the 'new' texture with Grain extract as blend mode and a bevel....plus a gradient to color the text. looks really good close up.

Ok, check this out:

First, I made text. Then added texture.

Then, I transfered the texture to selection (copied the texture directly to a temporary layer's mask and selected mask to selection) and beveled that selection.

Lastly, I added a bevel to the text shape, and this was the result. Pretty neat.
