Just added a new tutorial for creating a Ps effect plastic wrap.
You can find it here: http://guicon.110mb.com/page.php?14.0

This one's for the people that say " You cant do that in Gimp".
......Yes you can.

I would also like to announce that the forum on my site, is open, all are welcome, no "siggy" threads allowed.

So has anybody even tried this?

[megadyptes]

I've tried a couple but seem to have some problems with parts of the image becomming saturated - Wilbers eyes being a good example. The divide stap did something strange to Wilber as well, but not to the others, so maybe I stuffed up somewhere :s:

[newt]

Yeah images with a lot of white, or bright colors may go into saturation.
For those that do have a lot you can use a layer mask of the image you plan to use as the screen, and duplicate it and set the dupe to multiply. Then merge it down, that will reduce the brightness abit.
It would probably be better as a script, where little tweaks like that could be applied.
Plus the Neon filter has no anti alias to it, there might be a way to do something at this step.
As to Wilbur, that part that messed up is a gradient fill, if you were to take and make a gradient and apply the effect to it it would do the same.
The multiply step I talked about might fix this as well, I think its just a matter of how complex the original is.
I keep experimenting with it, at least this is a good start to something that was supposedly undo-able.

Interesting effect





This process is one I know I would like to see as a script.

[kward1979uk]

Looks good will give it try when i get a chance anbd post result

[kward1979uk]

Great effect will make a script for this as soon as i get a chance may be next week

[newt]

Cool Thanks guys.

[denegibson]

I haven't been able to lurk around here much lately, but just curious if we got anywhere with this script?

[newt]

nothing so far, my site's having some issues- mysql is gone, and its probably not coming back, the tut is still accessible, but i cant update there, so any changes will have to happen here I guess.....( curses free hosters)......

[TP]

The 1. Link does not work :s:

[newt]

As of right now it's working, it will go down periodically because of the lose of my database, but keep trying it should come back eventually.
In the mean time I'll either find a new host or find a flat-file cms, probably a little of both, im tired of these free host scams.

An update on the script, As it looks as if Gimp2.4 is not to far away from being fully launched i will be waiting till it is so that i am sure it will launch, also i need the steps again as i cant remeber them of the top of my head so am waiting for them to be back up on newts website again

[newt]

Alright, Ill see about making a list of steps simplified for a script, and post it back here.

[kward1979uk]

Good news at last i have got around to converting this tutorial to a script, i must apologise for not getting it done sooner.
It works in 2.4 but hasn't been tested in earlier versions

(define (plasti-wrap inimage indraw radius nocopy)
(gimp-image-undo-group-start inimage)
(let*
	(
		(flush-copy (car(gimp-layer-copy indraw 1)))
		(second-copy (car(gimp-layer-copy indraw 1)))
	)

(gimp-image-add-layer inimage flush-copy -1)
(gimp-image-add-layer inimage second-copy -1)
(gimp-desaturate flush-copy)
(gimp-desaturate second-copy)
(gimp-invert second-copy)
(plug-in-neon 1 inimage  flush-copy radius 0)
(plug-in-neon 1 inimage  second-copy radius 0)
(gimp-layer-set-mode second-copy 4)

(let*
	(
		(merge(car(gimp-image-merge-down inimage second-copy 2)))
	)
(let* (
(copy(car(gimp-layer-copy merge 1)))
)
(gimp-image-add-layer inimage copy -1)

(gimp-layer-set-mode copy 15)
(let*
	(
		(merge2(car(gimp-image-merge-down inimage copy 2)))
		(layerCopy 1)
	)

(gimp-invert merge2)


(gimp-layer-set-mode merge2 4)
(while (< layerCopy nocopy)
(let* (
	(copy (car(gimp-layer-copy merge2 1)))
	)
(gimp-image-add-layer inimage copy -1)
(set! layerCopy (+ layerCopy 1))
))
(gimp-displays-flush)
(gimp-image-undo-group-end inimage)
)
)
)
)
)

(script-fu-register 	"plasti-wrap"
			"/Filters/Gimp-talk.com/plasti-wrap..."
			"This Filter attempts to do the same as the pastic wrap PS Filter (taken from tutorial at

Thank you kward1979uk, appreciate you writing the script and it works great ^_^

[EmoRiot]

it kind of looks like the side of a brainXD
