I'm trying to create a logo, and I've found a script which generates the kind of effect I like:
http://img63.exs.cx/img63/3558/shrek.png (http://registry.gimp.org/plugin?id=4705)
But it's only available from the Xtnx>Script-Fu>Logos menu in the Gimp main window so it can only work with text.
I have a basic logo, text plus a simple solid shape, to which I would like to apply the effect. I'm trying (and failing) to modify the script to work with an alpha channel also and have it appear in Script-Fu>Alpha to logo in the image window.
I know nothing about scripts, I've been looking at another one (Alien Glow) to see how that's done, but I just can't get it to work. :confused:
From what I can figure out, the Alien one has a section containing the common bits, then two more at the end. One for new text and one for alpha channels. I'm trying to do the same with the Shrek one, but I really haven't a clue what I'm doing so obviously it's not working.
This is what happens if Itry to refresh the scripts in Gimp:
Error while executing
(load "/home/chris/.gimp-2.2/scripts/Shriek.scm")
ERROR: not a symbol or string (see errobj)
No line number, and I can't find any file called errobj... :confused:
Any help would be gratefully received.
