odinbc: thanks for posting the tutorial, now i have an excuse for trying this again.
graechan: good job on that! it's amazing how close you got to the original without the full information.
lylejk: nice looking bricks text! how did you make it?
he4rty: i like that! a fun way to make portraits, i have to try that myself sometime.

and it seems no one has even mentioned pink floyd yet - or have i just missed it?

Glad you liked the result Anmal; I used the Create>Logo>3D Outline logo script-fu but took just the mask part from that result. I then used G'MIC's Morphological filter to thicken the result quite a bit. Then I just used that result as a mask for one of the brick textures I have. I then added depth used motion blur (base layer) and texturing the base layer. I then added drop shadow effects and added a different base brick layer as background. Simple stuff for a simpleton like me. lol

It is down because we felt it was word for word for the original tute. It will be back up when it gets changed around a bit.
Odin tried to get in touch with the author of the script but so far he hasn't been able to make contact.

Hey Akros, it is not the length of the text, but the quality of the text itself. Just keep saving it as you go and write down which step you saved it so you can go back to it. Just concentrate on one step at a time and you will get there.
