Fire Text Effect

Hi, first of all I would like to say that English is not my native language, so if you see that I misspell something you know why, Spanish is my native language. Anyway, I would like to share with you guys my latest tutorial. This tutorial shows how to create a "Fire Text Effect" but it's something different. I hope you like it.

XGEOUS Rocks! Another excellent tutorial. Simple to perform with great results.

I am curious however how to get those animated effects like you see when relocating a dialog on the screen. It looks like it's flexible and sort of waves or wiggles when moved to a new position. Is that something that can be added to Gimp like part of a theme or is it something else?

Yes, very nice tutorial and a striking effect.
Good to have you here, Xgeous.

I especially liked your 3D text tut !

Thanks guys for your comments I really feel welcome here. Thanks Rod for embedding the video, I tried and I couldn't, maybe because I am new to this forum I couldn't find how to do it. Draconian, you can use those effect under Linux only. If you use Linux you can enable them by installing Compiz. Esper thanks for your comments, I feel happy that you like it, especially that 3D text tut.

I like the fire effect
made some 3d text and ran the G'MIC filter -sequences/edges on fire
duplicated the layers a few times and used the smudge tool on the layers

Or using the KDE 4 desktop, it has some of those effects

Does the KDE-4 work on Windows?

I think there is a project to use KDE on Windows, but not sure if their applications only.
If you just want to see what are these effects, you can download an ISO image of a "Live" GNU/Linux distro, burn it in a CD/DVD/USB flash drive and run it in "Live" mode. That is, you do not need install anything, just boot from the DVD and try.
For example, Fedora, Ubuntu, Kubuntu. Kubuntu comes with KDE by default.

Great stuff, I especially liked where you mapped the gradient to the luminosity of the patterned layer.
