O, I finally figured out what the problem is. The top where you have text is fine.
Below that you have a black background. Make your background transparent and select background in the dropdown. When you run the script, it will add the black background.

It doesn't matter whether the background layer is black or transparent, I still get the same error.

I've deleted the 3D Fun script. It just doesn't work for me.

This is the starting image. Two layers: Text on top layer, black is background layer.

These are the settings I used:

These are the error messages I got.

An added note: After a couple tries, I booted my computer, restarted GIMP.

'O' Make sure SaulGoode's overlay background(combine background)is the only overlay background script you have installed and, you select your text and background layers in the Alpha-to-Logo script.
Once you have your scripts folder sorted out try the Logo script to test using all default settings.

The only one I have is combine-bg.scm. No others.

I had the combine-bg script already and got the error message and I deleted it, then used the one in your zip file and got the error message, deleted that one, and then browsed to saulgoode's website and downloaded it from here, and I still get that error message about it. I think it's just not meant to be for me.

The combine background that I posted was not the correct one did you check the plug-ins browser to be sure you don't have something else lurking under 'overlay background' (script-fu-sg-anim-overlay-background)
as there is one by FX Foundary (script-fu-anim-overlay-background).
The correct one is found here <Image>/Filters/Animation, they are both by saulgoode and it does no harm to have both installed the FX Foundary one can be found here <Image>/FX-Foundry/Animation.

Graechan, I tried the one in the zip file you posted with the script in it. It's named: combine-bg.scm. It didn't work for me. Here is a screen shot of the contents of the 3D-Fun.zip file.

The one named: sg-combine-bg.scm that PhotoComix posted the link to does work. Thank you PhotoComix.

I had all these in my scripts folder and it was the (sg-combine-bg.scm) one that I used

combine-bg.scm

goode-combine-bg.scm

sg-combine-bg.scm

I wonder if could be possible for script install new procedure in the PDB without install themself in any menu.

The only reason for that would be avoid the risk of similar problems, (many scripts are distribuited in several variants and different names but maintaing same procedure names that will conflict ) in case will be just needed slighly modify and then include the script(s) to be called as dependency, i mean include in the same .scm

Not a clean solution i fear, will not help to detect or eliminate clones, but at least should avoid conflicts

Just a tought

That sounds like a good idea, PhotoComix, but can it be implemented? Sounds complicated to me.

PhotoComix · **Joined:** Apr 12, 2010 **Posts:** 5870

not sure if can be implemented , because i a am not sure if gimp will accept to register script that have no a menu path.

Also are no so commune cases but then a script that should call as example layerFx woild have good chances to be broken by some other variant of that script

Molly When using a pattern-fill on the bkg the objects from gmic appear to bounce around on a moving bkg (very cool effect) loved your image

Thank you and with some more experimenting maybe some different patterns may be nice too. Thanks for updating the script.

HI and Happy Mother day !
May i ask why the animation scrolls up instead of down?
It looks like,and maybe it is just me,that the background is moving up and the writing is moving down.
I thought it would be the other way around
