This uses a pattern "Metal with Holes" which i attached here also.
The script is under Rod/Alpha to Logo/reptile skin typography effect
You NEED Layerfx.py to run this filter.
It has two adjustments
1) color of scales
2) opacity of that color

Widget

Results with default settings - Font Face is "Muriel Medium"

VERSION -2
Added pattern selection so you can now get these results.

Just REPLACE your old one with this new one.

Pay no attention to my instructions inside the code. It will not hurt anything to leave it there.

Enjoy! :bigthup

This plugin doesn't work with gimp 2.10.10. When I run it, I get a solid colored square.

This is old, the one for 2.10 is in the updated script pack Rod posted here:
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=17303

Just curious, do you have correct version of layerfx.py in your plug-ins folder?

;;; Description:
;;; Creates a reptile skin effect on a text layer.
;;; If you have layerfx-2.8.py installed you must replace it with layerfx.py
;;; layerfx-2.8.py is too buggy for running through filters.

Works okay for me on 2.10.8. I have doubts the reason is that you're using 2.10.10
You must have something else that causes problems because you had same thing with the chewed text script.

I do have layerfx.py but I also have layerfx.scm as well. They both work.

I have the updated versions of Rod's scripts but only 3 don't work. They are the reptile typography effect, the reptile skin text effect, and the chewed text effect. I can't figure out why.

Strange. I am attaching the layerfx.py i use here. Don't throw away the old one. Just remove it and replace with the one i attached here. Restart GIMP and see if they will work.
