Get the one I just uploaded (v0.5). Now whatever you enter In the dialog Name field, will be the name of the layers. If that string contains "{pathname}", this is replaced by the matching path name, likewise, "{index}" is the path number in the sequence, and "{count}" is the total number of paths. So you can typically use something like "Frame {index}".

Got it, thank you. Will try it later, g2g to work now.

What I really like about this Script-fu is that it really does make cool scuptures. My only issue is figuring out how to shade it right (sort of eye ball this right now).

Python-fu. This is the 21st century

Well did I have an interesting early morning! I started to play yesterday with the updated script using a guide path and this morning I saw there was an update to 'stroke/fill visible paths', which I then downloaded.

Just to test it all out I first used butterfly dingbats, then went on to try some other shapes, just testing it out for myself ... but I could not get rid of those butterflies when i stroked/filled the paths in the new files!









Even after deleting the paths from the butterfly image I still ended up with butterflies not shapes!

I love computer software and have worked closely with it for nearly fifty years but sometimes it really confuses me!! So I gave up and restarted GIMP but then could not recreate the problem!!

Maybe I just did something stupid like not entering the new pathname correctly in the stroke/fill gui.

Do you have a butterfly brush? That may be the problem, maybe you still had it set with that brush for your stroke.

Oops; you're right ofnuts (am I biased or what; lolol).

The script uses the current brush when stroking. Just reset the brush to a small round brush (the Pixel 3x3 is best).

Now having fun w/ yarn.

Thank you Molly, thank you Ofnuts ...I think my 'slip of inexperience is showing'; must have been that, now I think about it. Still I have now learnt something important!!

However, because I was so impressed with what Lylejk was producing with his sculptures, I tried out a few things with the path-inbetweener and stroking and then got carried away by the outcome!! They say it is all in the mind.

Great stuff. Some post-processing, I assume?

Maayyybee Ofnuts.

like your flower lyle.

Thanks Sallyanne. I first started out using a Gears Script-fu and then ran path smoother to make the flowery loops.

Why not even more yarn fun.

I am struggling to match Lylejk et al with my limited knowledge but here is something just to say thankyou ... my learning curve has become vertical and I am suffering from vertigo right now!!



Will keep working on sculptures!!

Just requires experience (play; I've spent quite a lot of time playing with this utility since Ofnuts first introduced it) Old Man Grumpy.

Experimenting with shading using stroke visible paths w/ gradient blending.

Thank you Lylejk (& Molly in another thread) - yesterday was a very frustrating day and I realised I was missing something fundamental re my understanding/knowledge of GIMP. It is amazing how far you can travel in GIMP and then come to a great hole in the road ... but you guys built a bridge for me!



Now that means more learning to get a handle on brushes, paths, stroking and their options.

I've been using GIMP pretty consistently since 2002 OMG and I'm still learning new things. Good luck on your quest.
