How can I create this text effect and gloss with ImageMagick

Post by Larsenv »

I wanted to know how to create this text effect (there's a gradient on the text and the stroke seems to be bevelled) in ImageMagick.

Image

Also, how can I create this gloss effect on this image?

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried anything so far?

There are a lot of examples here including a glossy buttome where but I can not remember where.

What is your IM version and platform? Please always provide that information, since syntax and scripting differs.

If on Unix (Linux, Mac OSX or Windows with cygwin), see my script bevel at the link below.

I think user bonzo is referring to http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/thumbn ... ass_bubble

Sorry, wasn't aware of this.

I'm using a Mac.

I've gotten this far on the text...

Code: Select all

     convert -size 1280x720 xc:none -font ./resources/Rodin-B.otf -pointsize 36 \
		   -stroke white -strokewidth 5  -draw "text 586,375 $ARGUMENT2" \
           -fill gradient:#0a0a0a:#2e2e2e  -draw "text 586,375 $ARGUMENT2" \
           bootTvTex-Text1.png
     convert -size 1280x720 xc:none -font ./resources/Rodin-B.otf -pointsize 36 \
           -fill black  -draw "text 586,375 $ARGUMENT2" \
           bootTvTex-Text2.png
It makes a stroke and the gradient, but how do I make the stroke look as embossed as the text is?

The Glass Bubble thing looks decent, thanks, but I'm looking to make an exact replica of the box.

I don't want to spend too much time tweaking some things with that command to make it end up how I want, so is there any way it can look more like the picture?

Thanks, I've just played around a little now with the second circle command but it screws up stuff that I've tried.

turns into...

Also it's creating the effect in the center, I want it to be on the top.

Is there any way that I can change where it shines?
