My GEGL Plugins for text styling
#1
A lot of you probably already know who I am. My name is Beaver and I make third party GEGL text styling plugins for Gimp. You can install my plugins by following instructions on https://github.com/LinuxBeaver or going to each filters Github release page and compiling and installing binaries.

https://github.com/LinuxBeaver

Windows

Code:
C:\Users<YOUR NAME>\AppData\Local\gegl-0.4\plug-ins


Linux
Code:
/home/(USERNAME)/.local/share/gegl-0.4/plug-ins


Linux Flatpak

Code:
/home/(USERNAME)/.var/app/org.gimp.GIMP/data/gegl-0.4/plug-ins



Create a plug-ins folder if it doesn't exist.

Hi, I was trying to follow this tutorial and use GEGL layer effects to achieve it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBUwVrjlyPk

But I couldn't find the options listed in the tutorial there

I used my own ways and got this far


   

I used the layereffects.py plugin for that.

I'm sorry but GEGL Effects cannot bevel an outline.  That's the problem. But if you have GEGL Bevel; which ships with effects I have a solution for you.

Install
1. https://github.com/LinuxBeaver/GEGL-SSG-...dow-Glow-/

2. Make Brown text and run GEGL SSG then run GEGL Bevel with blend modes

3. On other layers proceed to add other effects like image file overlays and shadows.

Thanks. There are a few settings that are in Layer Effects in the video which are not in the plugin. For eg, I cannot see any option called Stroke Emboss.

----

Cannot find Gradient Overlay either

__

Unable to find the stroke option as well.

Unable to find Bevel and Emboss

1. Stroke is called Outline and it is on the default page and you just move the opacity slider up to enable it.

2. I have a Bevel slider on the second part of the filter. It is listed in "Bevel and Inner Glow" You have to jump from Outline and Shadow to that.

3. On the third part I have Gradient and image file Overlays.  You can upload an image file as a gradient.

Sadly, once again there is no way to bevel a stroke. I could do it if I added more options and sliders but it would take a lot of work.

I know its not as good as Adobe but it has a lot of advance options.

Using layereffects.py

Even layereffects.py does not all those effect. I used normal gradient instead of gradient overlay, colourise instead of colour overlay etc

Thanks. I will go through those options. Please consider this as feedback. It is nice to have the GEGL options. I am trying to understand it.

I told you. GEGL Effects has a stroke, gradient overlay and bevel of the text. The only thing GE doesn't have is a bevel of the outline. That is what is needed manually with another plugin called SSG.
