create logos 3D outline error - denzjos - 12-22-2018 When I make a logo 3D outline with the default parameters, the last letter of the text is not full created : [attachment=2414] [attachment=2413] When I change one of the paramaters of the logo 3D outline, Gimp crashed with an error and when I click on the error box, GIMP close down. [attachment=2415] When I restart GIMP I get an recover choice : [attachment=2416] When I recover the error I get this : [attachment=2417] Is the error known ? I get no errors with the other logos. If there is a solution, thanks in advance for any reaction Denzjos RE: create logos 3D outline error - rich2005 - 12-22-2018 The old scripts removed from Gimp 2.10 go way back. Many of them produce poor results or like 3D Outline just do not work. Could be re-written but who will do it? That 3D Outline goes back to 1998, the early days of Gimp. Not difficult to reproduce, just takes a little longer 1. Make some text 2. Layer -> Transparency -> Alpha to selection 3. Make a new layer 4. Stroke selection with a pattern to get the outline. 5. Turn the selection off. 6. Duplicate that layer, desaturate, blur for use as a bump map 7. Bump map the outline 8. Apply a drop shadow. (turn visibility of the text layer off somewhere in that list) The inset made in Gimp 2.8 with the script for comparison.
