i was muckin about and somehow managed to get this:



my first tut! :w: (its surprising easy, no matter how good it may look :l:

ok, i started off with a 500 X 500 canvas, it can be any size, but make sure its square (unless you want your ring to be squashed or squeezed :c:)



then, fill the entire canvas with something, can be a colour, pattern, gradient, i dont care and it doesn't matter, it makes no difference anyhow



then go to filters -> map -> map object, flick it to sphere and make sure transparent background is ticked, again, the rest of the settings dont matter :w:



ok, now, go to script-fu -> alpha to logo -> neon and leave the settings as they are (effect size 150, background white, glow black)



then go to dialogues -> layers and delete the white layer (the one that is called background [or should be]) and then merge the remaining two layers
you should now have a white ring, with a black glow, on a transparent background, now go to filters -> distorts -> emboss and use the settings below



now your inside white ring, should be a gradient white - black - white around where it was, heres the cool part:
go to script-fu -> render -> lava and use the settings in the picture (gradient can be ANY gradient, but incandescent works best for the 'evil' look)



you should now get 'ze eebil ring!'

comments welcome, remember, experiment with different gradients (for the lava effect) and different emboss settings

hope you like it! :l:

and i bet theres an easier way to do it, but i dont know it lol

Masteradash0?

Vey nice, and really easy, gj

Nice! I made an orb with it!

Great tutorial!!! I have several uses in mind for this one.

meh, i was just 'exploring' the use of different effects (im still quite new to gimp) without a tutorial and i liked what i got! :l:

oh plus, me and rover were on about the graphics for our other forum, im in the council :m:

This is what I got. Mondo coolness, thumbs way up!

Awesome tut you've done there! :w:



Here's my ring.

wow thats great!
thanks a lot

wow snes, i love that! it seems it goes nice with a lens in the middle!

i got this messin around wit ur tut

Awesome job you've done on the ring MotoX, the shades of green are, 'pleasing to the eye', yep, that would sum yours up. :w:

hey ne 1 wanna cht

this isnt really that type of forum. Do you have a specific gimp issue you want to have a chat about?

i just made the ring and started clickin a bunch of buttons and got that...

Awesome TUT! Is it just me, or does Photomaster's orb look like the letters are moving? Wierd!!!!!

OK I added a twist:

Heres how to do it

1. Create a Transparent 500X500 Canvas.

2. Edit>Fill in with Bg Color.

3. Filters>Map>Map Object and change the map to section to sphere.

4. Script-Fu>Alpha to Logo>Neon *Leave setting as they are and change Background:White Glow:Black.

5. Next go to layers menu and delete the background layer out.

6. Filters>Distorts>Emboss *Azimuth:203.23, Elevation: 180.00, Depth: 30.00*

7. Script-Fu>Render>Lava *Change Nothing and you should come up with MasterDash's Results*

8. Create a New Layer Above The One Layer and go to Edit>Fill In With BG Color.

9. And change the filled layer to diffrence and you should get my results.

*All Credit Goes to MasterDash*
