In addition to Grow, the sample uses 3D Extrusion. This is plug-in available from here:
http://gimpscripts.com/2013/12/3d-extrusion/

1.
Create some text (or an image with a transparent background)

2.
With the text layer active, right click on the layer and do Alpha To Selection.
Then (Selection > Grow) (I used 5)

3.
Create a new transparent layer between the background and text layer

4.
(Optional) Click on eye next to text layer to make it invisible. Makes it easier to see layer below.

5.
Select the new transparent layer. Bucket fill with white.
Select > None

Extruded Text: For something like your example, extruding from paths is recommended.

My gimp not have Script-Fu menu. how can i do ? my gimp is 2.8.22

Oh dear...

You down load the script from the link posted: http://gimpscripts.com/2014/11/extrude-from-path/
go and read what it says about the script.

This is the direct link: to download http://gimpscripts.com/download/renders ... m-Path.scm

The downloaded file is called Extrude-from-path.scm this goes in your Gimp profile scripts folder.

C:\Users\your-name\.gimp-2.8\scripts

Start Gimp up and that script-fu entry is in the menus

Thank you ^_^

Do not thank me too soon, I looked at the comments and a report about that version not working.

Works fine in linux but looks like a problem in Windows.

Attached is a slightly earlier version, just tried in Win10 and it works without throwing up errors.

Replace the version from GimpScripts with attached ExtrudefromPath.scm (slightly different name)
