This is another plugin inspired by conbagui's tutorial "Lace text effect"
It will create a brush for the lace and beautiful Lace text effect. Pattern and font "Chopin script" are included.
Chopin script free font: https://www.dafont.com/chopin-script.font

I grabbed your file from above to add to the plugin site. It seems there is a file size limit on the form. I had no idea, until now.

Good to know, Mahvin. Thank you, my friend!

You're right the folder is 5.33 MB and is because the .pat file. I should it converted the .pat to jpeg, so it would be smaller size file.

I love it! Can't wait to use it in some of my scrapbooking projects.

Pocholo, what I did was take your existing pattern, and cropped out a repeatable, tileable portion and made it seamless. This would drastically reduce the file size and yet give the user a workable pattern.

Or what you did... Yeah, that would it have been the other option :hi5

Thank goodness you have written this to keep alive an excellent tutorial, I wrote a scheme script for 2.6 and have no wish to attempt to upgrade it to 2.10

Thank you Pocholo to do this new script to be working again. :gimp

Mahvin's idea is really a very nice option to reduce weight. (i post it in small size if someone likes it)
:coolthup

This is so beautiful, not just the effect but also the pressed look and the frame. I'm using the layerfx-2.10.py btw.
Thank you.

Hi pocholo,

I had a problem with your script.
While it worked fine with GIMP 2.10.20 i didn't produce the brush for the first image at correct size in GIMP 2.10.22.
It was tiny.
So I added a line for the brushsize like so:

Code: Select all

        angle_out = pdb.gimp_brush_set_angle("Lace brush", 0)
   pdb.gimp_brush_set_spacing("Lace brush", 49)
   pdb.gimp_context_set_brush_size(350)

The first two lines were already there the last one is what I added.
I'm not sure why I had to give the size a 350 when the image is only 250 :puzzled

But it's working properly now.

I'm still have GIMP 2.10.20 and I haven't tested on the newer version.
