Light Up Sign Text

[guth75]

Welcome! I will show you how to make a blue-fire (Like a dance club sign) like this :

First you will need boltbaits fire plugin.

Fire Plugin

1) open up a new file.

:AddNewLayer: 2) add a new layer. (Note: the bottom layer should be a solid color. I will use black.)

3) add some text. It doesn't matter what font. Any will do.

4) select the outside of the text with the magic wand tool, tolerance at 0.

:InvertSelection: 5) Invert selection (ctrl+i)

:InkSketch: 6) add anything to the selection. It can be a bevel or random shapes.

7) use the fire tool and create flames

:InvertColors: 8) invert the colors. You now have blue text!

For people who want the background :

Its very easy actually!

:AddNewLayer: 1) add a new layer (below the text, over the background)

2) use mandelbrot Fractal.

:Delete: 3) delete the white using the magic wand ( ) tool.

Here you are :

It's My first tut so feedback would be appreciated!

im pretty sure the fire tool is a plugin that people have to download. You might want to state that somewhere.

None the less, This is pretty cool outcome i guess

After i use the mandelbrot Fractal, my text disappears :O whats the problem?

[PancakePaint]

Run it in a new layer.

[Sipuli]

oh, thanks it worked

but now im wondering, how can i make it so, that the Mandelbrot Fractals texture is on the Text "Sipuli" so, that it wont hide the text. if you understand what i mean like guth75 has done in the first pic

here is mine work so far:
