[Gimp-user] Creating Golden Letters
Hi all, I've been trying to create some nice golden (or another colour) letters using this tutorial: http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Golden_Text/ In this tutorial Simon Budig get's as a result, a text with no golden background, my problem is, I DO have a background, and I only need the text. Thanks in advance! Greets, Michael Henke ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Creating heightmap from a topographical chart
Vassilis Chryssos wrote: Hello all. This is what I'm trying to achieve: I have a topographical chart (curves that depict the height of a territory) which I want to use as a heightmap for blender. Blender uses gradient grayscale images to raise the pixels of a plane according to the whiteness of each pixel (i.e. the white pixel will be raised to the higher level, whereas black pixel will remain to the bottom. The in-between pixels will be raised according to their value of white). With this in mind someone must create a grayscale gradient image out of the topographical chart. Could someone suggest a smart way to apply grayscale gradient to the image according to the height specified by the curves? I have not tried anything like this. For the US the National Elevation Database provides excellent DEM at 1/3 arc sec granularity. Here is a ref that describes the kind of process you are interested in: http://www.terrainmap.com/rm19.html I would recommend getting the SRTM DEM data for your area of interest. It is provided in 1 degree squares. There are various programs such as MicroDEM which can convert the DEM data into raster images, and also generate 3d views with selectable height exaggeration. I believe this link is for the current processed SRTM version 2 which I think is the latest (or maybe final) version. ftp://e0srp01u.ecs.nasa.gov/srtm/version2/ scott s. . ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
