I believe bevel is in Filters/decor, Emboss in Filters/Distorts and shadow is in Filters/light and shadow. There is a great python bevel plugin. I'll try and find it for you.

If you've installed python then you place it in the plugins folder. If you haven't installed python it won't work. I'll try and find the python thread. I think Photocomix has the python downloads on his DA site.

Try this if you don't already have it installed. http://photocomix-resources.deviantart. ... r-74889017

And if you don't have that than go and get the script-fu version of Layer effects. It runs fine, you just can't preview the effect.

(for the script-fu one use the layerfx.scm by right click saving to .gimp-2.*/scripts/

There are also a few 3D scripts available.
3dscript.scm
3D-FUN.scm
And a few others out there.
3Diffy comes to mind.

http://registry.gimp.org/ should help you out considerably.
