dipstick Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Great and simple solution to the OP's question, welshblue. Well done. I know this has nothing to do with PDN, but there is a Custom Font script available for gimp that allows to use some very extravagant fonts already created or your own custom fonts. I made a few myself like this chrome font. Just posting other solutions... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dipstick Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 I hope you succeed in creating that chrome reflection effect. I'd like to know how to do that in PDN too. Here is the environmental map I used.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The built-in effect Distort > Tile Reflection does it... probably a good place to start.

lynxster4 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Well, I only succeeded in making porcelain-like 'blue agate' lettering. I used @dipstick's environmental map and a few of @MJW's height map plugins. I did each letter separately. A different map may produce a better result in PDN. Now, this is going to bother me... 2 Quote My Art Gallery | My Shape Packs | ShapeMaker Mini Tut | Air Bubble Stained Glass Chrome Text with Reflections | Porcelain Text w/ Variegated Coloring | Realistic Knit PatternOpalescent Stained Glass | Frosted Snowman Cookie | Leather Texture | Plastic Text | Silk Embroidery Visit my Personal Website "Never, ever lose your sense of humor - you'll live longer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJW Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I have plans for a new Texture Shader mapping mode that will help, but I'm not sure when it will be done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynxster4 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 That would be awesome @MJW! I use your height map plugins an awful lot! Love them. They are a tremendous boost to my creativity.

dipstick Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 If anyone is interested, here is my Chrome Fonts. They are in an .xcf file. You can open it in PDN if you have the xcf plugin installed. Then you can simply copy and past the letters into whatever you are working on.

dipstick Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 Aside from text, I can use that E-Map I posted to create a chrome effect from virtually any object... Or add a color overlay experimenting with blending mode to get this... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dipstick Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 Now, don't get excited and ban me. I'm just posting this in the hopes that someone will get an idea to use an E-map to create a reflection on an object for a PDN plugin.

lynxster4 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 @dipstick After much putzing around, I finally achieved this result. I was making it much harder than it really was. What do you think?

Pixey Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Wow! Some amazing results on here . I tried, but couldn't get anything like @dipstick's initial posting of that Gimp image.
