Chisel or Carve V1.3 (Bevel)

RobA · **Joined:** Jul 14, 2010 **Posts:** 697

Hi all-

I made a few changes to my chisel script cause I found a few quirks. The big issue was that the script only approximated rounds and fillets by applying a curve function after filling the grey. This led to icky stair-casing because of rounding errors and lack of precision, as well as not being able to get a true rounded edge (quarter circle) look.

I've attached the updated script here for a trial before I update the registry version (you guys are great testers!).

Other changes are:
- Added new slider "Roundness" -1 is a quarter-circle fillet, +1 is a quarter-round, 0 is flat
- Old "Bevel Curve" is now "Bevel Power" and is a power function applied on top of roundness to emphasize the curve more
- hard light layer set to 80% on creation
- Post Effect Blur is only masked off outside for an inner carve/chisel, and inside for an outer carve/chisel.

I didn't receive any error messages. It all worked very well. The only problem I had were the two outside ones set to hard light and they didn't show until I set the mode to normal on both of them.

Nicely done, RobA!

Something to do with the cond statement perhaps? I have the same error.

Code: Select all

   (plug-in-bump-map RUN-NONINTERACTIVE img varBevelLayer varBumpmapLayer inAizmuth inElevation inDepth 0 0 0 0 
                     TRUE (cond ((= inMode 0) FALSE) ((= inMode 1) TRUE)) LINEAR)

PegLeg44 can you test the script and see if you get the same error as myself and Esper?
Thanks.

Odin are you installing the new one or the old one from the registry?

Yep confirmed i have it working fine in Gimp-2.8.5
I guess it just doesn't work in Gimp-2.8.4.

I've used it on my win vista 32 using gimp 2.8.0 and it works fine. No problems at all.

Nice, love it. Used this script, and others, obviously:

I just tried it on 2.8.4 (windows 7) and it works fine.

@Esper - if there is a chisel located at Script Fu -> Effects Selection it is not this script and you may have a conflicting script with the same name installed.

I have uploaded a new version in the first post that fixes a small bug that occurred if the script was called on a layer without an alpha channel. It didn't cause an error, just not the expected results...

you are right, the script i was talking about and that gave me the error is 'FU_effects-selection_chisel' (which was written by you, btw)

i have downloaded your latest chisel script and now it appears under Filters -> Decor

thank you !

The "beauty" of open source. It was based on my script, but modified and redistributed.
