The scissor tool (selects shapes from images) can be a confusing tool at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's great for extracting objects from your photos.
This is one more tutorial based on Map Object Plugin.
I was playing with gimp during spare time and created few good looking 3D bowls, so, I thought why not to write a tutorial on it so that all level users can utilize gimp for creating 3D bowls for their projects.
The original concept for our creation was found on this Photoshop tutorial website Kiosk Orbs. Further inspiration was found on Ali's GIMPtalk globe tutorial located here Creating Globe in 2 Easy Steps. When I first came across the Photoshop site mentioned above, I was really excited about trying to create it with GIMP. But when I saw Ali's post, I got to thinking if it could somehow be accomplished with the Map Objects tool.
This is just a sample tutorial on how create a box using paths. You should understand and know SOME BUT NOT ALL of the basics about gimp. I saw a tutorial similar to this one on the GUG site but I thought it could use a lot more detail. Note: The sizes, colors and directions of gradients are just examples. Change them to your liking.
Gimp is a software exclusively 2D, but with a few tricks and thanks to the numerous tools that are available, it is possible to create an image in pseudo 3D.
