If some of you have noticed , i`m working on a online collection about GIMP text effects.
Image
http://texteffectsforgimp.wordpress.com/
When i find a good one...it will be listed soon. But it takes a lot of time.

It would be nice if someone can help me to find more.
Please post here a link to a cool tutorial. No matter if is only text or a video
When you can post a preview of the outcome too, it would be super super helpful.
The size should not be more then 500px wide.

Greets,
Chris

Hi Chris, the initiative of collecting text tutorials for Gimp and Inkscape is really commendable of you. Taking a glance at the site, I have already found several cool threads and videos that I hadn't noticed as yet. So, thanks for informing us about such operation. :)

Having said that, I don't exactly know if this could fit as real tutorial, but some time ago, when intervening in a thread featuring a script of mine named "Multi-replicate", two members of this forum, namely Graechan and he4rty, had the cute idea of indicating some useful tips in order to create 3D text effects by means of the script in matter, by suggesting a number of tricks as well as the proper settings of the dialog window to specify for the purpose. They and others users also attached some suggestive snapshots depicting the outcomes of the experiments based upon the methods they devised.
Here is the specific page with the aforesaid posts:
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=6057&start=20

I also like to think of the possibility that one of these kind people, which showed such an appreciation for my script, will have in the future the desire to write an official thread aimed to describe in a much more detailed manner the steps to follow for generating perspective text effects beginning from the script. :cool

two really simple but nice ones i didn't see in your collcetion:

http://www.gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5955&p=74520#p74520
http://www.tutorialized.com/tutorial/Gimp-Cubistic-Text-Tutorial/41174

he4rty made a good looking example of the first one in his thread and the second one has screen shots of the result, but i can post one of my results from the second if you like.

edit: in a fit of helpfulness i went through my unsorted browser bookmarks and looked for text effect tutorials. i found two that you don't already have in the collection and that i thought were fun:

http://www.tutorialized.com/tutorial/Slow-Shutter-Text-Effect/32589
http://www.gimpusers.com/tutorials/smelting-text-bloody-text.html

i also wonder why so many gimp chat text tutorials aren't there, is there anything wrong with for example rod's shredded steel or mahvin's jello text?
