That is really cool Graechan, I love it. Could you or would you paste a screen shot of your settings, how you got you text that way, pleeeeeeeze?
Tux, I really love the butterscotch too.
I think I finally got it the way I want, but now can't remember what I did. grrrrr

Tux, I really love the butterscotch too.

I like your strawberry one too Molly
have tried a couple but I still cannot get really good edges


Not sure how I got the pink or blue background

Your colored one is really nice sallyanne.

Thanks Molly. I have seen some great ones in here but cannot get anything like them.

Are you using the file > Create Logo Sallyanne? Gimpchat.com > bevel reflect logo?

Graechan & Molly, y'all's strawberry text looks great. I thought Molly's strawberry sphere was a map for this script too.


That's a normal map, Sallyanne. You get that if your select normal map from the Environment Map Type dropdown.


What kind of result do you get if you use the default settings from the File/Create/Logo menu? You should get relatively smooth edges, unless your font is not anti-aliased or unless you've changed the starting text/image in some way. You don't need to manually select the text in any way (unless you want to apply BRL to only a section of the image).

There is also an edge smoothing option included in the script.

Assuming your font is anti-aliased, one good way to deal with jagged edges is by using the steps posted here.

Yes I am. I have both the ML Bevel Reflect and Bevel reflect logo downloads too.

@GnuTux I did my first (silver) one with out a map of any sort (none) using mostly default and what I meant by not getting a good result was I didn't have such a marked bevel. Once I change the default settings I couldn't seem to get them back. I guess I just had to shut down gimp and open it up again.


Time for me to go - Night

salllyanne, to get back to the default settings, you go to the bottom of the dialogue and click Reset.

Thanks Molly (hits head- should have looked there)

@sallyanne...

I think I have the what I call the worm settings, finally.

Nice was that just one map or a few?

LOL I think the hand will do. Don't want concussion.
Opened up BRL again tonight and saw what you mentioned. I still can't believe I didn't look. There is a reset in almost every script.

Very nice work, Molly.

Thanks Carlos, couldn't get it as shiny as the ones Tux did but I didn't try any curves, maybe that would help.

The first one looks really nice. Molly. The other two have a little too much contrast and saturation for my taste. If there is too much contrast and saturation in the original color/gradient/map, the result becomes washed out and you lose the beveling and highlights.

The example below is from using a color that is just too light.

I didn't add any contrast, I did it the same way as the top one but with different font. Are you saying the colors I chose should be darker? If so, I could try that, I want a real shiny worm.

Yes, if the starting color/gradient/map is too light or if I add too much saturation (or contrast/lightness/brightness), I lose the shininess.

Here is the another example, where I just darkened the green for generating the map.

Yay, that is what I want... thank you, I will try some more when I get back from Cogego store.
