have you tried opening your error console then run script with defaults and checking for errors as I gather you have layerfx.py installed (not the 2.8 version)

I have layerfx2.8py installed and the script does run. I just didn't get an apple. When I ran it, nothing came up.

Mackenzieh go to layerfx.py and download and install layerfx.py as the 2.8 version is different and (a tad buggy)

Mackenzieh the layerfx2.8 uses layergroups and has never worked properly,congrats on getting this great script from Tranductin to work :clap

thanks, next i want to automate the silhoutte text tutorial of yours.

I wonder what you did on your apple to get the bumpy looking stem.

I just changed one thing and left the rest default, I changed the top green to red. I turned off the backgroud layers after running the script. I don't know what made the stem bumpy, freak of nature I guess.

Molly, i was wondering about that stem because I created my own brush in the script. There's a bug i think in gimp that when you run scripts it doesn't seem to use the user's active brush settings, you have to create your own brush (at least that's what i found).

mackenzieh, your apple's stem seems transparent, doesn't look right. I wonder why that is.

Thanks for the script, trandoductin. Nice work. I really appreciate the fact that you document your code.

Just food for thought, but perhaps future evolutions of the script could contain options to render different kinds of fruits, such as cherries, pears, citrus & melons. It's something to consider and would make your script a more versatile tool.

GnuTux,
Thanks, but in order to have other fruits maybe i'll wait for conbagui to have tutorials of other fruits as I suck in drawing, not sure where to start with a different fruit without tutorials. But you're right, it would make a great script if other fruits were available.
This was a good practice to familiarize myself with script-fu's procedures (and bugs).

Very cool dinasset, your stem seems ok, did you change any other settings besides the green to red?

I duplicted the apple layer and put the top layer to overlay mode, because the colours I choosed were not enough brilliant for my taste

Very good, I am always forgetting the modes and what they can do. Anyway, I like your apple very much.
