The area around the object or text must be transparent. In other words, it should be on its own layer.

Oh, nevermind, apparently somehow I had the transparent parts of the layer covered in yellow opacity 1... weird, huh?

A most brilliant plugin! I use it all the time for 3D text now ^^

I just came up with an idea for an increase in functionality
Here it be:
gradual change in hue/size/rotation/etc.
ability to adjust fade step and above mentioned "gradual change"
It would make the plugin and user inteface a whole lot more complicated, but I would definitely find it useful when trying to add perspective to my 3D text...
please? :D

+1: the fade out seems to be on the last 10-20% of the distance. Would be nice to be able to change this with a slider (like -100 to 100).
Thanks a lot.
