Edit Reason: miss 5 out
)
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)
