Tri-fold or Four-fold Brochure effect plugin (Thank you Tim)

Pocholo · **Posted:** Sun Jul 30, 2023 8:01 pm **(#1)**

Hi folk! Hope that everyone are great in fine and healthy. Even though you don't see me sharing my plugins more often, I been relaxing and :fishing

. Once in a while I get in and read everyones threads and posts. :sleepkbd

... Anyway...

This plugin was inspired by Tim Tran script "Map Fold" found here: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=13932&hilit=map+fold
Also by Tom Bland video tutorial found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XerD7m4zLKk

In this version:
1. I added and Alpha to the Image
2. Used the Perspective Shadow" (GIMP native script)

This is a request from our GIMPCHAT friend, Krikor and for the interest for GIMP.

Hi sallyanne, thank you for testing the plugin. As I looked in your result something went wrong with your shadow. It seem that is was copied but not fill with black color.

Some modification on this could produce an asian fan style effect... just saying

Pocholo, thanks for this versatil filter. It works great in both options.

@sallyanne; I hope you downloaded this last version. Instead of making the shadow using copy of the image, I used GIMP Perspective filter. This effect it will seem the map fold is down on a table, instead of in the air.

@Issabella; Thank you for the nice comment, and once again for downloading and testing the plugin! :bigthup

@OMG; Thank you, it's great to hear from you! :wvy

Ciao Pocholo,
I am very happy to see this plugin revived and improved, making 3 and 4 folds possible. :yr

You did a great job and now I won't have to do those folds by hand anymore. :bowdown

Good to see illustrious members of GimpChat like Sally, Issa and the crystal wizard OMG honoring and having fun with this plugin. :ghug

Many thanks Pocholo and Tim! :tyspin

Hi Pocholo.
Another great plugin. :hi5

With one small note to the menu:
This can be confusing: :roll:

I was also wondering how Krikor wants to fold to three?
So I came up with 6 possible positions for each part, but you beat me to it! :hehe
