Water Drops Script Rel 4

Found a wifi spot so had to try this out. Great script. Do you use iWarp after you run the script? Also, is there a way to change up the lighting a bit? One of the fonts I tried had really weird lighting.

Great!! I can't wait to try it out with IWarp added.

2-ton use the IWarp after running the script.

I am guessing that another script would be required for it to work on a selection rather than just text. It would be interesting, at least to me, to see the settings and step order in your procedure. I noticed that wider or heavier fonts result in a "flattened out" look to the text. If I knew what the settings were, perhaps it could be made a bit more intuitive or maybe interactive. Would it have to be written in python to get a preview so you could see the effect different settings make? I'm just wishin' here, not complaining. I love this script. I would like to eliminate the water drops and keep the layers. I tried to use Iwarp but it screwed up the background.

This makes me want to know how to write scripts, but that will have to wait until I retire and have time to learn code.

Draconian if you downloaded Rel2 and selected the iwarp box it will not affect the background. And the lighting settings would only give acces to the (glowing,brightness,shiny and polish) settings of the lighting affects plugin. But these settings are not easy to to use in a script-fu.

Drac I like feedback on scripts as it helps me to improve them.

Pauline Please try under Sript-Fu>Logos

2-ton · **Posted:** Tue Feb 07, 2012 3:37 pm **(#25)**

yes, Graechan is right...mine is under script-fu>logos
It's fun but it would be more fun if it could do selections and not just fonts...although a good set of dingbats would probably solve that little problem.

2-ton I'm a definate dingbat so try Rel 3 and look in Script-Fu > Selection Effects.

First image shows selection, second image is after script has ran. looks like the mother of sneezes.

Hahaha! That was a good one Graechan!

Molly Assuming you have installed Rel 3 just use any of your selection tools and run Waterdrops from Script-Fu/Selection Effects.

thanks Graechan, but I don't have anything like that under script-fu-selection effects. I downloaded what thought is the latest version on the first page. Where is Rel 3? I opened an image and selected the girls head but the script isn't there where you said. I have it under script-fu > logos > water text but nothing else.
