Molten Material

Mahvin used it for the Jelly

Mahvin used it for the Jelly text at GIMPChat and Rod passed this link along. I remembered seeing this one a while back but didn't download/install it then since I didn't have Python. Now I do. Thank for the plugin. :)

I noticed a new version of

I noticed a new version of Python was available (I have Win Vista by the way). It says that it is cot compatible with 2.x. Will I need an earlier version of Python to run this script?

Plugin

Under the gimp directory there will be a /plug-ins directory. Put it there. If you are using Linux, you will also need to do chmod 755 on the file.

PLUGIN

You put the plugin in C:\Documents and Settings\user\.gimp-2.6\Plug-ins I think...

Still nothing.

I’ve already said that it doesn’t work when I put it in the plug-ins directory. Plug-ins are in the form of .exe files, but this is .py. Where do those go? - Shane the Raccoon-Dog

Still Nothing

Still nothing because as i may see in my magic crystal ball you use Windows XP or Vista. then you have no Python support for Gimp out of the box, or you take the disturbance of add it (and that is more complex then click on a installer )or you better forgot python plugin in the first case this http://www.registry.gimp.org/node/3916 will help to make a bit easier. PS to hope to get a reply i suggest next time in the very first line to indicate your OS and the number of your gimp (i.e Gimp-0.5 ,Gimp-2.0, Gimp.2.6 ....)

Likely a common wetware issue;

SCM files on a windows install go in, \share\gimp\2.0\scripts NOT, \lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins No idea about linux because I haven't booted my linux partition in about a year.

The directory structure is

The directory structure is effectively the same, only the prefixes are different - there is no /usr/[bin|lib|share] concept on Windows (unfortunately, think about all the problems that could be avoided if developers would be forced to pay attention to installed libs...).

The common prefix on Windows is the directory where GIMP has been installed, onwards from there it's the same structure.

Python support for Gimo 2.6?

Sry for my English, I'm German. I use ubuntu. Where can I find the "Python support" for Gimp 2.6? I can't run this nice Molten Metarial script.

Python support for Gimo 2.6

Is already there out of the box only you have to make the script executable...just question of permission

Ahh.. the premission wasn't

Ahh.. the premission wasn't my problem. I couldn't found the plugin in a register, so I had to edit the .py from "/Artistic/Render/_Molten Material..." to "/Filters/Render/_Molten Material..." I'm not sure why; the reason could be that I use the German version of gimp... but now it runs!
