Here is the finished script

To use in 2.8 you will need to install the light to Height 32bit plugin from here

For 64bit version http://www.aljacom.com/~gimp/l2height-0.7-64bits.zip

To use in 2.6 you will also need the rain pattern from 2.8 that I will also post in the zip folder with script

I get this error when I run the script. I use 64bit. I think it is a windows/Linux thing

Bonjour,

Thank you for the script, the logos are very beautiful

@molly

I think you did not compile the plugin "plug_in_light_to_height"

The sources are in the archives :
http://www.aljacom.com/~gimp/l2height-0.7-64bits.zip (You can unzip : l2height-0.7.c.gz )
http://www.aljacom.com/~gimp/l2height-0.7-i686.zip

and compile l2height-0.7.c

thanks samj. I don't know how to compile. I will try the 64 bit one.

Compiling a plugin in C is done with gimptool (available in the package "gimp-dev").

gimptool-2.0 --install /home/xxx/myplugin.c
gimptool --install /home/xxx/myplugin.c

help
gimptool-2.0 --help
gimptool --help

Unfortunately, on my Fedora 64 virtualized, there are problems

I will try on another Linux 64-bit in the coming days.

Ok, thanks samj. I will wait. I don't understand any of that. Anyway, I know I would mess up.

plug_in_light_to_height : Compiled for Linux 64-bit (tested Ubuntu/Fedora)

Unzip and place l2height-0.7 in the plug-ins directory (l2height-0.7.c is the source file).

Filters > Map > Light to Height...

I wish there was a way to keep the holes in the letters transparent. Notice how the B is filled in.

The easy way is to lower the 3D value and your choice of font.

Once you play around with the settings, you can gain some control over that. I guess you insert image, now I know.
