Hi I created a 3D looking circle

Also created another using the same princile

Thanks for sharing. Can you also share how you did this? For those who might be interested.

Hi Jappaloe63. My post has been flagged as spamy when I try to add the link.
I do have a youtube link to the tutorial. I can gladly share.

Just make two more posts to bring them up to 5 then you can add a link. (Maybe reply to a few posts)

Hi This is the GIMP channel link to the video. Regards

Thanks for the link. I'll try to do it.

Thank you very much, will have to try also.

Thank you!

Thanks for your tutorial. It's very interesting. I've learned new methods.
Here my first try.

Very nice Issabella.
Tried it several times & I keep getting stuck . Cant do a proper gradient and since vs 3 has all the lock options I am not sure which to use. When I eventually got something to move only one layer moved not two even though I had two locked

Just exploring these shapes created by connag and in doing so I found a different way of creating similar shapes.

I used two concentric circular paths, which basically defined the width of the final shapes, and two centred hexagon shaped paths intersecting with both the inner and outer circles.

The points of intersection on the two circular paths gave me the start, end and mid points for a new path, from which I could create the target shapes as shown below. I then used one of my gradients to finish off these shapes. Obviously appropriate rendering can be used to emphasise a 3D view.

Not as nice as connag's graphic but all sorts of ways to get a repeating shape in a circle.

This using the gmic rotate filter and more than a bit of serendipity - never quite sure of the outcome.



...and a 3 minute video to go with that: https://youtu.be/urjL6iIChK0

rich, my first try with your method in your tutorial. No good but I'll try it again. Thank you so much.

Oh dear, It is meant for the odd spare 10 minutes and a bit of doodling Do not like the result ? Then scrap it and try again when you have another spare few minutes.

You can of course, tweak the layers. The batcher plugin will apply to each layer (or you could use gmic - that applies to all layers). This one with batcher and a bevel.

Sorry. I meant to say that mine didn't turn out as well as yours.

But I really like the technique. and this last yours is very nice, too. Thank you so much rich.
I did another.

one more.

I used RD' custom font, Skinnyhouse's Custom Font Trailing v0.4b and rich's tutorial. Of course, garagecoder in G'mic.
So, thank you so much.

Nice tutorial; skipped the guide stuff and just dupped/rotated and moved by eyeball and then did a dup, circular blur grain merge to taste. Can't let you guys have all the fun. lol

And, of course, I had to 2 pole Droste the result. lol

Thanks for the fun; need to now hit the hay for day 3 of my work week.
