These two text styles are extremely similar internally due to the fact that they share most of the same GEGL syntax, so they were both combined into one plugin; as opposed to making two plugins. Obviously they look very different, but under the hood but GEGL is doing the same graphical text theory and applying a "dark lava coat" on the volcanic text and not the chipped rock. For those classic Gimp fans "Chipped Rock" is directly inspired by the classic alpha to logo "chip away".
Windows
C:\Users(USERNAME)\AppData\Local\gegl-0.4\plug-ins
Linux
/home/(USERNAME)/.local/share/gegl-0.4/plug-ins
Linux (Flatpak includes Chromebook)
/home/(USERNAME)/.var/app/org.gimp.GIMP/data/gegl-0.4/plug-ins
Then Restart Gimp and go to GEGL Operations and look for "Volcanic Rock / Chipped Rock" in the drop down list Gimp 2.99.16+ users will find the filter in filters>Text Styling, 2.10 users will only see it in the GEGL operations drop down list.
To compile and install you will need the GEGL header files (libgegl-dev
on
Debian based distributions or gegl
on Arch Linux) and meson (meson
on
most distributions).
meson setup --buildtype=release build
ninja -C build
If you have an older version of gegl you may need to copy to ~/.local/share/gegl-0.3/plug-ins
instead (on Ubuntu 18.04 for example).
BEAVER RECOMMENDS YOU USE A MODERN VERSION OF GEGL. NO GUARANTEE DATED VERSIONS OF GIMP WILL WORK WITH THIS PLUGIN
The easiest way to compile this project on Windows is by using msys2. Download and install it from here: https://www.msys2.org/
Open a msys2 terminal with C:\msys64\mingw64.exe
. Run the following to
install required build dependencies:
pacman --noconfirm -S base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain mingw-w64-x86_64-meson mingw-w64-x86_64-gegl
Then build the same way you would on Linux:
meson setup --buildtype=release build
ninja -C build
