typeface is called "savatage"

Looks good, Rod!
The text note is good but how...?
Is this script or a technique?

rod: cool! and i also wondered how?

You will need G'MIC - http://gmic.eu/
and GC Drop Shadow scm script - http://gimpscripts.com/2013/05/gc-shadow/

Create a new image - white bg
Create some text
Open G'MIC>Rendering>3d extrusion (set your extrusion the way you want it).I used these settings

Now do a alpha to selection on the new text layer, and create a new layer - fill the selection on the new layer with the Red Cubes 64x64 pattern)
Set that layer mode to overlay.
Copy overlay layer 2 more times.
Make the white bg layer invisible.
New from visible.
Make all layers invisible except bg and visible layer.
Select visible layer
Run Filters>light and shadow>gc dropshadow with inner glow and shadow all else default.
Select visible layer
Go to Filters>light and Shadow>drop shadow - use defaults.
Select visible layer
Go to colors>colorize and color how you want.

That's it.
XCF attached also.


I have actually thought about scripting this one.
Maybe.

Moved to text tutorials.

Rod, Thanks for the tutorial

That was fun and easy. I don't know how you got some of your edges smooth without the scales. Also, after alpha to selection and filling with pattern, needs to be deselected.

Nice tutorial, Rod.

cool

To be perfectly honest i have no idea how i got that alpha effect either.
Maybe one or two of the copied pattern layers opacity setting was different?

Thanks for the tut corrections O.

Thx Rod!
These Red Cubes 64x64 pattern turned out great! First time I use the Rendering> 3D extrusion
Grateful for the tuto!

You are all very welcome and i am glad you liked the tutorial.
