Wow, loads of good work going on here

Here's one made with Blighty II's lego brushes from here.
Blighty II if you are reading this, thank you for the brushes.

Wow that's a good isometric projection, colors are are very good and look like the same as the ones of my kids.
Thanks a lot @teapot for the link, those a very good lego's brushes (a special thanks to Blighty II for its excellent work on these brushes), I love them.

Thanks. I used Inkscape to make those brushes.

I also used the brushes to make a lego Gimp Custom Font. Available here:

Another play

Love it!

That's really good

I find the recursive transform tricky. How did you do the lovely curves?

Thanks Skinnyhouse, I very much appreciated.

While I'm here, I would like to ask you a link to start to study your custom fonts, something like "how to make your very first custom font", or "how to generate your first custom letters".
Everything I searched goes already to tutos with scripts to change color or to make metal and so, but I did not find how to make a custom font from zero (and hopefully to "hero" later on )
In all case, THANKS A LOT


Thank you very much teapot, and a very special thanks for reading

I'll try to explain, there are 2 recursive transforms, the first one is the most important for the smoothness and the next smoothness

First of all (very important) Layer/Crop to content to your textured text layer before any recursive transform
Then you start for the first time the recursive transform > First check that box "Paste below" (to have inward extrusion > screenshot), put the center (a circle with a cross inside) to the top, it will be very-slightly curve (for the moment you don't care about how visible is the curve, maybe you won't see it as it's too short)



Then you move each handle (the 4 handles on the screenshot) toward the center by 1 pixel ONLY!! (this will give the smooth extrusion), you don't touch the "Iterations" (use the side and bottom sliders to go faster between Top -> to Bottom, and left -> to right



Then once you are done with the handles, you push the "Iterations" to full throttle > 20, then only now click OK



Second recursive transform and final
Re-open "Recusive transform" (now we have a safe margin of 19/20 smooth extruded pixels )
Same as above put the center on top (a circle with a cross inside) -> check that box "Paste below"
Then like previously go toward the center ---> but this time you can go inward by 10 pixels (or more up to 19 pixels) on each 4 handles,
once it's done play with "Iterations" (I did 20 full throttle again) and here you will see the "lovely" curve and the extrusion going way further



Good to know: doing this way -> you will have a curve even if you did not put the center above, but it will be lower --> more to the exact center.
Why I said to pass at "Iterations" 20 once it's done, because at 20 it source/computation power demanding and depending the power of your computer you will have a lot of lag, so better to do it at the very end before clicking "OK"

final result (yeaah I did cut a bit of the top and bottom "G" IMHO it looks better


How it works, first extrusion you got 20 pixels (Iterations = 20 times 1 pixel) second extrusion you can go to up 20 iterations = 20 iterations times 20 pixels = 400 pixels of extrusion, if you do a third iteration you can got 400 pixels times to up 20 iterations = a whopping 8000 pixels = looks like more than to infinity
BUT in this very-case you will not have enough pixels, even at 100 pixels on the third recursive transform (although I never tried 3 times in a row as I would do a 15 or even 19-20 pixels on the second recursive transform)

Wow, that's clever PixLab Thank you very much for your great and detailed explanation

Here's my go at it:

PixLab:

Have you seen this PDF guide which shows the process for converting gimp fonts to custom fonts?

fonts to Custom Fonts

Очень интересные эффекты, я новичок приветствую вас!

Sovushka - this forum operates using the English language. I have translated your comments "Very interesting effects, I'm a beginner welcome to you!"

Nice sallyanne, #454 is my favourite.

Same method as PixLab's #448 but with moving the handles outwards instead of towards the centre:

Ad hoc playwith recursive transforms:

Thank you teapot I like both of yours

It's addictive

That's cool
