Perspective Reflection Script

This script modifies a layer to have a perspective and reflection consistent with that perspective.

This script is not finished. It has not been tested very much, and it is missing major features to come later on.

To install this script, copy it to your scripts folder, then restart Gimp. If you don't know where your scripts folder is, then go to Edit > Preferences > Folders > Scripts.

To run this script, select Filters > Decor > Perspective Reflection.

Feedback is appreciated.

No fade

Doesn't work for me on Mac, Gimp 2.6.6. Perspective works but no fade.

Looking at the source for the script, I do not notice the fade or reflection in there at all. I looks like it - figures out how much it wants to change the perspective
- creates the second layer
- transforms the 1st layer for perspective based on calculated values
- transforms the 2nd layer (reflection) in a similar way
- resizes the canvas
- ends the undo group

Thats it. Did you remove the fade code? Is there a version of it with the fade still in there?

No fading effect

I can affirm what was said about Gimp 2.6 on Win XP: There's no fading effect on my machine either.

No fading effect

I tried to implement fading by applying a layer mask, but I ran into a bug in gimp that causes the mask to corrupt and for gimp to crash.

This is only my second program, so I don't know enough to handle this kind of situation. I'll work on it, but I might not be able to get it to work.

In the meantime, you can add your own fade effect to the reflection layer. Also, the code is open source if anyone wants to take a shot at it.

I use it for more effective ppt presentation

perspective reflection

Using Gimp 2.6 in Windows XP. Perspective side works fine, but the reflection is just a full sized flipped mirror of the original. What is missing, it seems, is fading to transparent around 40% of the way down.

Very nice work and I'm sure this problem will be fixed soon. :)

What do you need help with?

Do you need help installing the script, or do you need help using it?

To install the script

Follow the instructions given by these links:
docs.gimp.org/...

osp.wikidot.com/...

I can't give you specific instructions because the procedure changes depending on the version of gimp you have installed, your operating system, and any customizations you've made to either.

Does not work in Gimp 2.6

Greetings,
I'm not able to get it to work in Gimp 2.6 UNIX (*BSD).
I place the script in the correct folder (scripts/), and I find it and apply it to an
Image. But only the perspective, and layer flip part(s) work NOT the
gradient fade. :(
Where did the example image shown on this page come from? It does not
appear that this plugin made the example shown above, as the part that
performs the gradient fade doesn't exist in the plugin script. :(

Thanks for trying.
