Thanks for all the new E-maps you guys. I've got to try some of them out. :bigthup

Hey Tux, how exactly do you make these e-maps using an image?

Wallace, I'm not sure about GnuTux - probably the sphere creator, but myself, i moved to Graechan's Manhatten script.

I split my response to another topic here.

That is awesome. Thank you GnuTux ;-}

I don't see how I would be able to use an image in "sphere creator" to produce an e-map. Nonetheless I have used "Map Object" to create a sphere/circle from a given image. This method lacks something, but I can't seem to put my finger on what that is.
I'm also not familiar with "Graechan's Manhatten" script. I'm sure I must have seen it's use somewhere here on GC, but this too eludes me.

I knew that running "Polar Coordinate" had something to do with it.

Thanks Tux. :bigthup

The script? http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=9933

This is using the Diego "Globe from image", cannot remember file name sorry.

Thanks for the link. :bigthup

I made this e-map using the "light-probe-simulation scm".

Haven't posted my play (or can't remember if I did or not and am too lazy to peruse through all the entries; lol). Thanks again Tux.

Nice results, Lyle. :bigthup

Appreciate the map, Wallace. It produces fiery results. :hehe

Here's an Emap made from a gradient named "Browns".

Those are very good results, Wallace. :yes

Have you tried running BRL, selecting "Run Interactive" in the Bevel - Slope Options dialog?

Doing that will allow you to choose between all the maps you have loaded into GIMP and preview them using the 3 different slopes with depths. The flat slope has both a smoothing option and a depth option. The other two only have depth options.

Yeah thanks Tux, it seems to be hit or miss when trying to find a decent image to make in to a light-probe.
I haven't used the "Interactive Mode" much, but I think I'll make a point of using it more often now. :bigthup

Nice "Gimp Text/Logo".
What was the Emap type used for the text, and did you go "interactive"?
