How do I download that rule of thirds script? The link you gave is just a bunch of text, what do I do?
looks great but I can't do anything until I get that script.

[PhotoMaster]

Hi Frodo, If you highlight the text and do a copy, (right click and copy on my machine) and paste it into a blank text document (I use notepad) and save it in your scripts folder (C:\Program Files\Gimp-2.2\share\gimp\2.0\scripts) and save it with an scm extension (xxxxx.scm). In notepad you need to set document type to all or it will name it xxxxx.scm.txt . If it does, just rename it without the txt.

Hi, In order to make it map faster and use less resources, so you can make a bigger cube, do NOT map the Back, Bottom and one of the Side faces. These faces are not shown and can be mapped as blank. Obviously if you want to show the bottom face then do not map the top face. In other words only map the map the faces you will show . See Photomaster's Tutorial steps 27,28 and 29.

Cheers WBOOL63

Added later, NO, I am wrong, there is no difference in time. I timed mapping with One face as compared to mapping with SIX faces and there is no difference. Perhaps some background task was running that skewed my figures last time.I timed it

Cheers

I read the Rubik tutorial. Very cool. I'm new to "The Gimp".
\I learn a lot so far.
Actually I'm more of programmer / linux web server set up stuff.

Anyway. I could not get the Filters > Map > Map Object tool to work.
Once I hit the box tab things freeze up.

I'm running Gimp on a Dell Inspiron laptop (512 megs of RAM) p3 800
Fedora Core 7. I installed Gimp from using yum.

Thank,

This might be a double post.

mmm cdub maybe if you close all and only run Gimp maybe it could work...i mean i'm working ona dell (Home PC) with iGb of RAM and i get truobñes(a lot)

anyway here's my Cube...

[PhotoMaster]

All of these cubes are excellent! Great original images and variations!

Hii Photomaster I was giving your Cube tutorial a try and everything was going good till step #44 I dont think I have an script-Fu or the thing you sayd to do in step 44 I was so close but that mess it up cause the last steps involved the Scrift Fu thingy..Do you know where I can downloaded or where I can find it in my gimp?Thanx! =D Im new with Gimp I have had it for like les than a week lol

[PhotoComix]

@ LaRozz

that was the position in gimp 2.2

In the latest gimp (2.4) look in Filter/Light and shadow/Drop Shadow

@PhotoMaster

i updated that line in your tut, please fell free to edit again or correct as you like

[PhotoMaster]

PhotoComix,
As always, you are on top of things! Thanks for the edit!

wow i'm fairly new to give but i have to try this!!!!!
can you do something similiar to this with a sphere??

[hybridgoomba]

davidcon if you scroll up and down on your cube, it looks as if the pattern in the bg is moving.

[PhotoComix]

@NNDK1Mode

sorry i see only now your question, well sure you can do something similar with sphere...
just try to map to a sphere instead then to a cube, is another of the option of that tool

[DigiQueen]

Loved this tut! I am just finishing mine up now and will post my results. My machine is a little slow at the moment.... :w: I really enjoyed this one and the instructions were so easy and smooth! Thanks for sharing!! I am always looking for new and unique tuts!!!

[Warrior]

[PhotoMaster]

For whatever reason, I don't see my rule of thirds script on the link I provided. Here is my rule of thirds script. I runs on Gimp 2.0 through Gimp 2.4.4

Great Tutorial! Really easy to follow. I used it to make an image for a neopets help and graphic site i work on. They LOVE it.
Here is the result:

Winter is a beautiful time of year and that cube is great!

[Tempest]

Thanks for the awesome tut. I'm pretty new to using gimp, and this one turned out pretty good.
