Looking for a tutorial of how to paint snow onto text. And a possible script/plug-in that could be created with this effect if that is possible?
I like the example here: http://browse.deviantart.com/resources/ ... 48#/d6wvqk
would like to learn how to do something like this
Sorry I am still a beginner and please don't make me feel stupid for not knowing all the right lingo.

There is a very good script by FP for snow, in fact I used it for my sig and avatar. It is in the attachment below. I will look up some of the painting snow on text I have somewhere.
Just place this in your C:\Users\your name\.gimp-2.6\scripts folder.

Try this one Anna I've just one

Molly, I downloaded that same script and installed it but I never did figure out where it shows up. I even went to help and looked in the browser thingy and nothing came up for anything named "animated snow".


By the way I think what annaica is looking for is putting the snow on top of each letter rather than the snowfall effect. I don't know of any script that will do that but there are plenty of fonts around that already have the snow on them like "igloo" or "modus frigid" etc., etc.

I usually just paint it in, add a few icicles, shadows, some bump mapping etc until I get it like I want it. Here's a sig I made recently. I was happy with the snow part but the text didn't look that much like ice. Just click on the image to see the detail on the snow.

It is under animations Drac

Thanks Molly i didn't have that one
Draconian you can find out where any script installs by opening it in your editor and look for the line that contains...

(script-fu-register "script-fu-name-here"
"<Image>/Filters/the name of the filter menu here... "

This one is found at
(script-fu-register "script-fu-snow-anim"
"<Image>/Filters/Animation/Animators/Animated Snow..."

I have a tutorial here somewhere using the plasma filter to create ice text.

Here is the script used with a selection.

Thanks Molly. I had to download it again cuz what I had in my user 2.6 folder was some other file instead of the scm. Must have been corrupted when I downloaded it the first time. Now it's all mo bedder gooder!

Thanks for the heads up Rod. I never think to do that.

OMG that painted snow on your name is AWESOME!!! tht is what i am looking for!!! can you make a tutorial?

Thank you annaica. I'm not a tenth of the artist that some of these folks here are so it pleases me that you liked it so much. I sent you a PM with a few steps to try. If it was not clear enough just let me know and I'll see if I can throw something together.
