-- Fun facts and technical details about the plugin --

A few weeks ago I found this GEGL syntax and I translated it into a plugin today. The coolest thing is that this plugin only requires one binary and no other operations; despite it being enormous. When this GEGL Syntax (interchangeable term for GEGL graph) was conceived, it was originally blue; like ice, but it became so much cooler when I made it red like blood, hence the name "Bloody Ice". I hope everyone enjoys this GEGL Gimp plugin.

The icicle effect is made by three gegl:wind operations all set to "Blast" style and Bottom Direction. All three GEGL wind operations were stacked above each other like virtual layers by using GEGL composers. They are NOT individual layers in Gimp but are recognized as internal layer like things in GEGL.

There are also three bevel like effects set to the overlay blend mode at 20% opacity, they coat each icicle. A median blur (gegl:median-blur) is controlling the size of this entire text style.

The plugin's color is controlled by a hue rotation slider in which 0 resets but (-180 - 180) with lightness adjustment makes ice. You can also slide to any other color in between.

Enjoy the plugin and consider leaving screenshot feed back, or show if you did anything interesting with it. You don't have to do this if you don't want though.

A quick first play. Thanks for the plugin.

The plugin lag with large Text and has a white highlight no matter if you pick a red color for the text. The same with the Ice.
Can you change it to bloddy red color for the text and ice blue for the Ice effects?

You can still see the white drips in it. It should have dual tint, lighting highlight.

Remember the color can be more then just blue and red.

I still say that the drips is wrong on blood and ice effect. It shows white.

yes, I am aware of that but I don't know what causes it. It gives the blood a shine like it is frozen.

Thank you for the critique.
