Re: Software to create 3D buttons for use on web pages, etc
Joost, Thanks a lot for pointing out that aqua-style button script! I have it working now (luckily for me, I'm using Debian 'testing', unlike Joerg). I don't know the Gimp very well, but this is how I got it to work: 1) In Gimp, select Xtns/Perl/Server 2) Run 'perl aqua.pl' from the command line -Kevin Murphy P.S. Re: your response to Joerg's problem: This maybe against debian philosophy (help me out here list) but why not install Gimp.pm from cpan? It may or may not be that simple. First I tried installing Gimp.pm from CPAN, and it wouldn't install for a trivial reason that I could have fixed, except that I said, Screw it, I'm using Gimp1.2; I'll just install the debian package (gimp1.2-perl). Which I did, and you'd be amazed at the long list of stuff that got installed. I'm not sure if they are all needed or which components (Gimp or Gimp.pm) need them. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Software to create 3D buttons for use on web pages, etc
I'm interested in creating 3D-buttons, ideally with a rounded, ray-traced look. Anybody have any advice? I am hoping that someone has scripted one of the major graphics programs to help automate this process. I.e. it seems that it should not be too difficult to have a front-end script offer relatively simple choices for shape, surface texture, transparency, size, color, font, text, lighting sources and then feed commands to a ray-tracing program.

Thanks, Kevin Murphy In The GIMP, you have some scripts that can do buttons. Just go in the Xtns menu and in Script-Fu. Also google around, there are quite a few tutorials on creating nice graphical buttons. You don't need a 3d program, just a few shading tricks. (maybe a pinching filter to give a 3d effect to the text). Take a look for example at: http://www.kci.net/~jesse/gimp/tutorials/buttons/ http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/3d_Logo/ More tutorials at: http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/ Also for some basic 3d buttons created online take a look at: http://www.cooltext.com/ Have a nice day -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
