script assists in the rendering of environment maps suitable for use with GIMP’s Lighting Effect plug-in. The script uses a random seed, along with multiple user defined parameters, to generate endless variations of several types of environment maps. For examples of its use, see the Environment Mapped Text Tutorial
Just create a new image with a minimum size of 400x400 pixels and run the script.
Menu Location: Filters/Render/Environment Map...
Ctrl-F will regenerate the map using a different random seed. By default, GIMP’s “Golden” gradient is used. However, you can choose any appropriate gradient to generate an environment map. The script supports the smooth topographical style map, as referenced earlier, as well as a cloud based map. You can select a Gradient or choose to use GIMP’s Active Gradient. You can blend the specified gradient back into either style map to create some unique, interesting and useful environment maps. User selects blend mode, shape and direction of gradients.
In addition, it’s useful to apply GIMP’s color setting to shift the hue or saturation/lightness on the rendered map to get the desired results for mapping.
Now supports spherical maps and interactive mapping to other objects via GIMP's map to object plug-in.
