The Forge plug-in is a 'Gimpified' version of the ppmforge program.
Click here to download
the latest release (0.9.1).
Building the plug-in is straightforward. First unpack the gzipped
tarfile:
% tar xvfz forge-0.9.1.tgz
Next compile and install the plug-in with:
% gimptool --install forge.c
The plug-in can be found as "Filters/Render/Forge" by clicking with
the right mouse button in a picture. After doing so the next dialog
will appear:
On-line help will be available for release 1.0. For the moment if
you are looking for an explanation of the different parameters
look-up the manual pages for the ppmforge tool.
The next pictures show a generated planet. On the left side is the
original picture generated by the Forge plug-in. On the right side
you can see the same picture with the Lens plug-in applied which
causes the picture to look more realistic.
Next an example of a cloud (for you computertypes: that's the
fluffy stuff you sometimes can see when you take your eyes from
your computer screen and look up at the sky):
There are a few things I would like to do for version 1.0:
- Add preview
- Implement help
- Internationalization
- Port to Gimp 1.4/2.0
