Achieving a long shadow effect with shadow angle spreading out?
#1
Is it possible to achieve a long shadow effect in GIMP where the long shadow spreads out, as if coming from a central point?  Here's an approximate example of what I mean, which I did by separating the text into 3 parts and applying separate long shadows to each:

   

It should give the general idea but it's only an approximation; each letter should have a different shadow angle pointing out from the letter towards an imaginary circle behind it.  I can't see any way to do this.

Thinking about it, it'd make sense for the long shadow filter to have a "spread" option, where 0 does the current behaviour, negative would modify the angle so the shadow converged, and positive would modify it so the shadow diverged.
