It's not lumpy at all, just smooth and shiny!

Thank you Mathijs. I had to manage as I don't have phyton. I try to do things as I can. But I think it's OK at the end. :tyspin

glass logo lets you put many different backgrounds
and pictures behind it.

@Mikechat, Did you do this with Erisian's tutorial? I don't understand how you were able to show text on it, could you give us a little hint on how you did it, thanx :cool

Mikechat · **Joined:** May 23, 2012 **Posts:** 150

I know it might be a different topic
But how do You add a glass effect on a picture?
I tried scripfu glass or plastic effect,it did not work

sorry i didn't back to you right away, laundry day.

i think the explanation in this thread is pretty good.

making a white layer of what ever you want to make
glass, then turning the opacity down, and doing a new
layer from visible, use color curve to adjust tint,
then light drop shadow, hope this is useful.
