Old text - meetdilip - 02-16-2023

Hi, wondering whether it is possible to create a text effect like this

I don't know what they call this. I have seen this kind of text in Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter etc. Thanks.
I found a PS tutorial on Google related to the above image

Typically anything that adds a bevel to text...

Try the attached script: An old one updated for Gimp 2.10

Unzip and put in your scripts folder.
Make your text layer. Layer to image size. Filters -> Alpha to Logo -> Lord of the Rings.

You can also get there using the GEGL bevel filter https://github.com/LinuxBeaver/GEGL-Custom-Bevel and https://github.com/LinuxBeaver/GEGL-Custom-Bevel/releases for the Win / linux binary files.

You do need to play with the sliders, something like this:

Not too hard to do manually
  • Create you text in gray
  • Get a selection on the text
  • Add a new layer, fill a selection with a Shaped (angular) gradient, white at center, black on edges if you want relief, and vice-versa if you want carved.
  • For texture Filters > Noise > HSV noise and add Value noise
  • Remove selection, select text layer (or a copy)
  • Filters > Map > Bump map and use the gradient-in-selection layer as the bump map
