Had to try out a tipple but couldn't face adding the shadow. Too hot here!

Is this text?

Well they (mainly) started life as unicode characters extracted via a custom font maker, given alphabetical character custom font names (A to M) and put through the Faux3d filter before being placed on a step background and given a shadow.

(There is something very satisfying about creating 3d from 2d)!

They look like cute kiddies blocks. Very nice

Experimental plugin to follow a path to give some perspective:

#683. Really good Skinnyhouse - they are works of art in their own right :bigthup

Thanks Tas:

Experimental plug-in also allows each character to have it's own user created perspective path:

Drop shadow and background added separately.

Great work, skinnyhouse. :jumpclap

I love the curve in post #686 :clap

Thanks Pocholo.

In final test stages (unless something drastic crawls out of the cupboard) now.

Added step option which is quite useful for testing out effect before commiting to full set of layer generations; I also like the skeletal effect!

Hi Skinnyhouse! Is there a tutorial in PDF on the use of this filter?
This is an amazing plug-in.

Very varied and imaginative outcomes from everyone :paint

But skinnyhouse does make them very creative. I need to look further in this thread, the ones by teapot among others are also very much to my taste. But there are many more from other members I must see.

A simple one:

Thanks Rod and Ella. :tyspin

There is a PDF guide to the earlier Faux3D over on GimpLearn.

Final tests on the new 3D one so still needs uploading and a guide making.

Skinnyhouse you are nailing the 3d, they really pop. My favourites are #676, #683 and #690 but they are all good :clap

Ella very nice cylinder and I like the way you've done the shadows :paint

Issabella, Loving your perspective path texts :jumpclap

It's been too hot to do much here so trying to cool down ...
