Sword Art Online logo - Megasoth - 03-20-2019 I have been looking for a way to learn this effect without even knowing how to describe it. Can this type of thing be done on gimp or do I need vector graphics or 3d modeling software? RE: Sword Art Online logo - rich2005 - 03-20-2019 Might be better using a vector application, however using Gimpsu, something like this perhaps. [attachment=2731] Basically bump-mapping a combined layer but plenty of stages to get there. 1. A black background 2. The latin text layer 3. The japanese text layer, copied and pasted from a translation page. Supposed to say GIMP FORUM.  It was too small so made a selection, scaled the selection and filled with a white-to-blue gradient on a new layer  4. A grey-blue border made from selecting the two text layers. Trying for a silvery border. Failed miserably but it is possible. 5. New from visible then that duplicated. bottom one blurred a little, top one bump-mapped as the screenshot.
