@Gnu Tux
excellent tutorial, also great tip about the value to use for Bump mapping it really improved my results
I still have to read all the pages ( i just read the first ) but at soon i tried ...i was forced to remember that the Lighting Effect plugin has a preview window so microscopic to be unusable, and that was fixed, first roughly by me , then Onkel Hatti improve the idea
see the difference : Patched
Standard
Windows users just need to replace the plugin exe , i didn't build yet on linux, but the source code (not only for Lighting Effect , also for Gimpressionist , Fractal Trace , ...basically for all plugins ) is available, built on linux is simple as replace the Plugin folder in the source code before compile with the Patched version
(Onkel Hatti patch are ,as his builds, downloadable from Free Gimp Packagers at sourceforge.net )
I quickly made a replacement pack for Windows inside version for 32 or 64 bit Gimp
Attachment:
Install is trivial just :
first move away (for safety ) the original plugins with same name in a back up folder
In the Zip just extract the content of the "32" or "64" folder in your gimp plugins folders
Mind that are replacements , not extra plugin, first you must move away the originals
LINUXAs now i have no ready binary but here is the patch
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-pa ... p/downloadJust apply the patch to the original source code before compile gimp, as usual
