Thanks 2-ton

new challenge - how to improve?

map


my result

That font is fat GnuTux (Police Cruser). The last two I did I thought worked out ok. It was the one with the purple background when I wanted a transparent background that I didn't understand what happened.
I did the others without 'run interactive', so I assume that is why it happened.

@Sallyanne - Ah, yes..sorry. I see what you mean now.


If you select "Invert" when using the interactive option, the background is filled and beveled.



In this example, I ran BRL twice, once with "Invert" selected to get the background and once with "Invert" unchecked for the text. It can take a loooong time to run inverted, depending on how big the background is and which curve you've selected.

@GnuTux
Thank you to show the invert method



maybe this is better

I love what you did with the strawberries Graechan. Tux, that Butterscotch is my favorite map so far.

Recently, I replaced my computer as many here now know. Now, if I run this script, I have to use a flattened spherical environmental map else I get solid black texts. Maybe I'm just doing something wrong. I tried both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the plugin but the same issue. Not sure if it may indeed be a Win8.1 issue with the GIMP and this Script-fu or not.

I think it may have something to do with the way it's run. What I mean is that from what I found, this can be run from 3 different menus.
ie. The Create, Map and Alpha to Logo menus.

I used Create and Alpha to Logo but have not tried Map version yet. Very strange indeed. Pretty much useless as is since the result's just a flat text with some color changes when I use texture option. Maybe Tux can weigh in as to what's going on. I'm afraid it's going to be a Win8.1 issue though so oh well. Didn't have these issues with Win7 64-bit GIMP.

Well, you can officially call me an idiot now; I was using the Environmental logo instead of Bevel Reflect. Idiot I am. lolol

Now I'm happy; forget all the above entries and if folk here are kind, they would erase my idiocy form me. lol

Never mind...

OK; used this as my target enviromap and then ran Metallic Something Gradient to give it a more crystalline look (added plastic wrap followed by sparkle too).

edit:
Just realized that I didn't link my target; just did. lol

By golly will you look at that. It does work after all.

I missed this one Graechan, glad to know I can entertain you without dancing the Limbo.

EnviroLogo does look a lot like Bevel Reflect Logo.

They both do basically the same thing, with one using GIMP's lighting filter to map and the other using ML Bevel Reflect to map.

Playing with this awesome script again.

Very pretty Warrior

Thanks Molly.
