Bevel for text - hendrikbez - 02-19-2022
I am trying to make text effect, in the tut they show you must get this bevel in "Filters>distorts>bevel", but I do not see this in it
Where can Find it, did look thru all he menus
RE: Bevel for text - rich2005 - 02-19-2022
That is a really old python plugin bevel2_1.py
It is not 100% compatible with Gimp 2.10 but you can get it to work with a bit of user intervention.
Unpack the attached zip. Put bevel2_1.py in your Gimp plugins folder C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\plug-ins
It works with selections, so use the colour select and select just the text in the text layer.
The plugin is in Filters -> Distorts -> Bevel
Run the plugin, enter the values.
This is where it breaks in Gimp 2.10 Change the layer mode to Hard Light.

Suggestion: Avoid these old tutorials
----------------------------------
A better bet for an easy bevel effect in Gimp 2.10 is gt-bevel
Also in the zip is gt-bevel-210.scm put this in C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\scripts
Find that in Filters -> Decor -> GT Bevel Choose the 'Curved' option.

Your images took me here: http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=5126 It is 10 years old but you have the bevel2 plugin, just use it and see what you get.
You always learn something in the process.
