path-waves script to make spikes on circle help. - halotaco - 05-06-2021
Hi,
I am trying to put some "spikes" on the edge of a circle. You can see I have tried to do it manually.... and you can see where my skill is at :-) I got some info and found this, but need a little help to finish this off.
Which of the path-wave effects I should use? I have tired a bunch of tings and just can't seem to figure it out. I got close with ellipse 20, 40k, none, 0. What would be the best effects to achieve this?
Then it should be a simple fill. Thanks in advance any/all help.

This video created by rich2005 is very instructive in this sense:

I figured this out. For some reason triangle was not show up as an option. Maybe my window was too small. I tried it a bit ago and got it.
That video link above was also very helpful.

You should not be using that video, it is old (2012) , out-of-date, there are better ways using scripts and plugins. I must get round to deleting those old Gimp 2.8 videos.
You found the triangle option in Ofnuts plugin
Looks like this, then path to selection and a fill. This using a gradient.
