Hi,
I converted and improved my GIMP 2.10 plug-in, Flower-of-Life, to a GIMP 3 compatible version.

This is the plug-in dialog's appearance.

Works well on a Gimp3 appimage on Debian Linux. I had no plug-ins yet so tried this one. I added a GEGL graph filter also.

Happy holidays,
This latest version has a new preset option. So now when you create a cool Flower of Life image in a preview, the settings can be saved to a preset.

Did a couple more of these today. The silver one was meant to be the height map but it got bumped instead

Hi gang,
I made a few improvements to this plug-in, and you're welcome to it.

This is the update log entry:

Quote:

v2.2 Release Date: October 1, 2025
• Switched the window-type from a dialog to a top-most window in order to accommodate Gimp's color button.
• Changed the color buttons to the Gimp user-interface version.
• Improved 'Flower Type/Outline'.
