Sometimes I follow a Photoshop tutorial... see how far I can get. Now I've given it a twist with GEGL glass over text.

Glass on Text is now part of GEGL Effects but still has a stand alone plugin.

I'm trying to promote my glass on text plugin as it is a counterpart to a old script fu named "shine". As I've said countless times this plugin ships with my layer effects engine - GEGL Effects, but below I have decided to provide stand alone binaries for this plugin. If you already have a modern version of my layer effects engine with glass on text tab, you can ignore this.

REMEMBER, this download is for people that do not have my layer effects engine and just want glass on text as a stand alone filter.

Enjoy, this filter does not shine people properly. Only text and shapes. Remember to use blending options/blend modes other then the default "replace".
