Wallace, did you make the light of the letters shine out in rays or is that my eyes playing tricks on me? It's super good looking that way.

Yes 2-ton, your eyes are not deceiving you. I used the Luce plugin to make the light rays

Good idea to use spherical motion blur set to internal Wallace. Like the rays too.

Thanks Lyle your right on point with the spherical motion blur. :bigthup

This is an excellent script! I've tried to do this (without scripting) many times and failed. If you haven't already, you should add this to gimpscripts!

Thank you Tran for your new script. I did a try and I like it a lot. Great results showed in the thread. Wallace, I'd appreciate your help telling your steps to get so attractive outcome. :tyspin

trandoductin: very nice job on that script! my laptop really can't cope with another heavy gimp script, though - do you think this would be a bit too time consuming doing "by hand"?

wallace: that's very professional looking!

issabella & oldmangrumpy: nice job both of you but in completely different ways

. issabella, yours is very neatly composed and you have a nice, subdued colour scheme and it's very elegantly framed off by paisleys. nice. then i see oldmangrumpy's colour explosion with cool special effects - nice too. so inspiring with such different aproaches to the same script.

I guess if you really wanted to you could do it by hand. Before writing the script i just did it twice to see the effect at the first render and the last render and i thought all the steps in the middle would be kind'a tedious to do repeatedly by hand.

Nice,
I just ran one iteration with ocean, and ran 30 iterations with just land (in the lastest version of script i allow from 1 iteration up to 50).

The script is addictive :lol:

, been playing some more, 40 iterations, would really like to come from a dot in the distance to full size but the file size would be massive

just tried it out, great script!

*edited to add a screen shot of my try. Not sure how to get a paragraph to be perfectly even on the right side. These are song lyric, who can name the song and the artist?

When you create your text, you can change "justify" setting in tool options.

although i think it looks kind of cool with one side not even, reminds me of death star from star wars

Look what I made.
