it has probably to do with the programming of the script you use

i added another tutorial on how to make the text made fom the german flag gradient

this has one has lots of tricks included

watched too much Style Wars

esper: ooh, i like that one! the colours look lovely.

Those are very very nicely done Esper! The first one is my favorite

thanks Baukje, i would love to see your spin on my tutorial !

Esper,
Jeez! Many super-interesting tricks and techniques in this tutorial.
I got lost and although I insisted on continuing until the end of the tutorial, I could not play it.
But I will try again.

Thx another nice tuto!

Akros, you dont have to do all the trickery i did for the stroke
id rather like to see what you come up with, instead of trying to recreate my tutorial to the pixel

Esper,
I used another font (Neovix), and tried a stroke of 10px (instead of 5px).
But at some point the trick to get sharp corners, I lost myself.
I tried to vary my interpretation of the instructions, but the results were still fleeing expected.
Eventually decided to continue even seeing that something was not as it should.
My result was centralized with the stroke (I have reversed some step), and very thick. It got a little monster!

But I'll redo the tutorial, perhaps even tomorrow.

lol Akros, monster sounds interesting
you can also have a look at RobA's original post here:
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6973#p88311

i linked to the post on my blog, but just in case you missed it


also....
here is a teaser for a tutorial i wrote tonight, but i will post it later
people have to take a breath i guess

Whenever I find some free time I will definitely try your tutorial! Right now I have to deal with some school projects

Made this one following your tutorial, Esper. Followed it, the best I could. I think it came out all right.

WHOA !

you just made my day, Rellik !

Wow! Thanks Esper!

no really, great choice of colours
everything feels so warm and sunny

and perfect execution of my tutorial, too !

cant see a single flaw

rellik419: that's some really lovely looking text!! nice job!

tutorial is now up, learn how i made all these colourful gradient-effects

So many great tutorials, so little time! BTW, is there a list of your chrome curves with pics to show what they look like? Seems to me there was but I can't begin to remember where, and I'm off to work and can't look.

thanks 2-ton !

i wrote a post about chrome curves here:
http://gimp-science-labs.blogspot.de/20 ... urves.html

btw, they are not my chrome-curves

and they are not really fixed, thats why i showed an example how to shape your curve, according to your desired effect
you just watch what happens when you create another "wave" and tweak it until the chrome looks right

all the chrome techniques are based on what Draconian teached and the monsoonami youtube tutorial
i just took it one step further

Thanks for the direct link...I need to retire so I have enough time to hunt things down! I used to bookmark what I thought was good to save, but now I have so many bookmarks that it takes me longer to look through them than to google!
