GIMP Version: 2.6.11
Operating System: Windows
OS Version: 7 Home - Premium
GIMP Experience: Beginner Level

a tutorial so I can do some text that has a cold/snowy/icy feel. Not animated. I found a few fonts I may beable to use. Can anyone tell me or show me where to look. I tried YouTube already and after a couple I got photoshop tuts.

Hi, can't think of any tutorials off-hand, but I do have some scripts that do it for you...

Thanks guys. I think I like Molly's tut. Will try that one first. I did see a video of the other one. But I am wanting a cooler effect.

@sallyanne, I just made a pdf and attached it to the tute if you prefer using pdf's. Good luck on your results.

I quite like the look of this effect.

while sallyanne is a fan of tutorials, I'm a fan of scripts: I didn't see links to those you mentioned in your first post here; could you supply them? Thanks...

@dinasset: I have those that Rod suggested above. The sample I posted was from 'my' version of the Ice Fire Logo.
I also have these as well Frost Crystals and frosty-logo.scm, can post it if you don't have it, but it was part of my gimp installation.

I downloaded and installed those mentioned by Rod.
And I have Frost Crystals and frosty-logo.
Thanks anyway...ciao

Not a fan of Tutorials. I didn't think there was a script so asked for the next best thing. I have tried and tried and tried this one....thought I would be able to do it and I haven't been able to yet.

looks nice. like lace draped from the letters

I have to do a leaflet and poster to do with a Winter Theme. Will have a look at the scripts.

sallyanne · **Posted:** Tue Jun 04, 2013 6:12 am **(#15)**

I don't know
I have tried one with one of the fonts I got yesterday (Plymouth Rock 'Snow Dusted') But I am not sure it is going to be very clear. May have to look at some thing else.
