Really beautiful, Wallace.

Thanks Pat625. :bigthup

Are you aware of what the symbol in the image represents?

That's awesome, Wallace. I'd been trying to think of a way to draw an atom that didn't look goofy. You've shown me something I can use.

Given that Wallace has moved away from just text, thought I would also point out some alternative scripts for creating extrusions -

Obviously there is Ofnuts set of scripts -

... but also, with the right settings, the script from this thread viewtopic.php?f=9&t=12300 will do the job, just more elaborately ...

... then there is also the path blend script ...

Path blend is great for some uses. It is pretty tricky to work with as far as getting a specific result though. You really have to pay attention to path direction, starting point, etc.

I downloaded that script from the other thread. That looks like all sorts of fun.

That looks perfectly respectable to me.

I added a fadeout effect to my 'Extrude from Path' Script

Where can we get Graechan's Extrude from Path script with the fade out added?

I roughly modified the script just to create the image, but it was full of bugs, so i had to remove the modified version.

I could definitely find a use for that script.

Are you aware of Theirs script fu "Pan to Bow" ?
http://registry.gimp.org/node/20869

It works well on text also to get an arc effect.

My go at the tutorial. Utilizing Pan to Bow.

Rod · **Joined:** May 16, 2010 **Posts:** 16262

This is a lot of fun though.

One more.

Added that script to the pile. It definitely looks useful.

I can't find time lately to do another of these. Got so tied up in other experiments and tutorials. I need to do something again soon.

After some head banging and a long think, I re-coded and got it right, hopefully
Wallace I could send it to you in a PM for you to test

That looks pretty good. :bigthup

Send it to me and I'll put it through it's paces.
