make sure the move tool is set to "move the active layer" and make sure you have the layer group selected in your layers tab
You know what, this is brilliant, was searching for a clear and precise tutorial on how to make a sphere. I'm a complete novice, never used the software, yet came out with great results. A big THANK YOU!
Welcome back, monsoonami! Thanks for yet another great tutorial. Even after years of using gimp, your tutorials still teach me new techniques and options I had never thought of or overlooked.
This is the best Gimp tutorial I have ever seen.
Great step by step and easy to understand.
Dude, you rock! I've used a couple of your techniques in a project or two I have worked on for my students. I appreciate all your effort in putting this information up on CZcams!
One of my favorite GIMP text tutorials. Thank you for sharing.
Really helpful, I doubt I'd had found this new feature without the video.
thanks, i noticed that it was the boundary around the layer, and now i know how to change it! thank you.
Very nice that with the layer-groups. Thank you for the tutorial!
Very,very nice,easy to follow,concise,Greg's idea is awesome I will try it .
I am happy to see the video introduced. I hope that you reduce the speed of modern explanation until the viewer understands the best step by step manner. With a focus on the movement of the mouse. Thanks again for excellent effort.
Brilliant. I love the way you explain and give a heads up to pause video to note details. Thank you.
I had trouble moving the shadow with the layers too, I just linked all the layers I wanted to move manually.
Excellent tutorial, thank you.
Thank you for this video. Your explanations were clear and easy to follow. Love the way you also help newbies such as I to understand the mechanics of GIMP.
oh my! I did Mr. Monsoonami. Just patient on listening, following, and looking on your tutorial. And now I made my 3d Spherical Text effect. Though it takes 5 hours before I make it a little bit perfect but not like yours. More practice to me!!!
Thanks so much! I loved your training. After playing around with longer words and sizes, I was very happy with my end result.
Do you just come up with all of these awesome ideas? I wouldn't ever think of doing this, you're very talented.
Just finished your lesson and great job !! was able to follow along easy and mine turned out nice on the first go..cheers :)
Yeah, apparently layer modes in a layer group will only affect other layers in that same group. That can be frustrating if you're expecting it to behave differently, but it can also be useful because if you want a layer mode to only affect certain layers, then you can put them in a group.
Cool tutorial, i got one tip for you...............to undo the selection go to select and select none.
That's just the layer's "boundary." It's not actually part of the image; rather, it's just there to let you know where that layer ends. It "goes away" when you select a different layer, but if it's really bugging you, then you can hide it (as I have done) via View > Show Layer Boundary (or something like that -- I don't have gimp open right now).
Fantastic tutorial! I just downloaded GIMP 2.8 (from 2.6) and I'm going to put this info to use! Thanks for posting!
Have a look at 3:30 again. I pointed out that you will need to choose Sphere in the "Map to" dropdown menu.
wow, thanks for tutorial ! thought I knew about map object, but at least I learned about layer grouping from this tutorial
Thank u for this tutorial. It's awesome. I didn't know that I could do 3D Spherical text effect. So I learned something new.
Unfortunately, you can't change the orientation after using the Map Object filter. However you could duplicate your square color layer with the letter on it before running the Map Object filter. That way you would always have an extra copy there, and you could always go back and run the filter again with different settings. Really, the better solution would be to use a 3D graphics program (like Blender) instead, since GIMP isn't made for editing 3D objects.
Thank you so much for this awesome and easy to follow tutorial. I was able to recreate what you did and learned so much...Thanks again and keep up the great work!
great tutorial man, thank you very much, it's so easy the way you explain it
Great tutorial......it'd be great if you could make a video with colourful, shiny and glossy spheres on a 3D black background with reflections of the spheres on it......don't have to be spheres if you know what i mean.....i havent' seen anyone doing such a video with gimp so if you could please. Thanx for this video though and keep up the good work :) Well done and looking forward to watching your new video.
Well done tutorial. Everything's clear and concise.
After duplicating the layer group, when we tried to move it, only the sphere moved but the shadow did not move. To make all the three duplicate layers move together as shown in video we had to click ON the chains (chain icons next to the eye icon) of all of them first. However in the video this is not seen (10:42 to 10:49). What is the mistake we are making ?
I just had to do the same thing. Maybe the GIMP version has something to do with it?
i've tried this and it looks really good...
thank you for this tutorial !
Very cool. Thanks for sharing.
ok sounds good well in the mean time i have a video suggestion, can you do a series on the modes or effects like burn overlay dodge lighten onl etc and go in depth on them and give a couple examples of what you could do with them, cause i know the cool effects they can make happen cause i use them alot but i dont really know what they are esuppose to do. i hope that wasnt confusing enough lol but that would be a good video! it wil prolly get you alot of subs
Can you please put the codes of all the colors used in the description of this video? Thanks for this amazing tutorial.
Are your "marching ants" really marching/moving? If not, then that's just your layer boundary, which isn't actually part of the image, but is just there to indicate the edge of the layer. You may hide it, as I've done, by going to View > Show Layer Boundary, though that shouldn't affect your ability to follow the tutorial. Do you mean that the gradient doesn't show up at all or that it doesn't stay inside the ellipse?
Wonderful
I don't understand. Are you saying you can't change the color of the layer after you duplicate the layer group? What exactly did you try to do, and what happened when you tried to do it?
Excellent video tutorial. Thank you!
Thanks for take a time and make this kind of videos.
Me sirvió, no me quede así de bonito como el tuyo pero me gusto como me quedo:)
What colors are you using on the different layers? For example, if you paint with white and set it to Burn, nothing will happen (also if you paint with black and set it to Dodge). Are you setting the layer's Mode to Burn or the paintbrush tool's Mode? I can't really think what would cause some of the layer modes to work while others don't. It must be something particular to the image you're working on.
Nice job describing everything. WTG...!!!
Thank you so much for making more of your amazing videos.
Sure: just use the map object filter as shown in this video, but apply it to a layer with a photo/image on it instead of a layer with text on it. You will want to crop the photo to be a square first.
verry nice one.thanks for sharing it.
fantastic and well explained, thanks
Coming up with the idea is the fun part. Though, I'm sure other people have done something similar to this before.
Yeah, it would definitely look much cooler in Blender, but my experience is somewhat limited there as well. It's about time I tried to learn Blender more anyway.
VERY NICE, THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME
can you please help? I put the gradient background exactly like you did, but I don't have the nice blended white color in the middle and light purple on two side edges, instand mine got a big white circle, as I click more the circle got smaller to nearly invisible, but still don't have the nice white effect color in the middle background. thank you.
Many thanks for this ! I'm french and I get everything ! Thank you !!!
Yeah, I think I might have to see it to figure out what's going on. Feel free to make a quick video response if you want, or you could just save the image as an XCF, upload it somewhere (like sendspace), and send the link to me in a PM.
@monsoonami Thanks. Instead of watching the video again if I want to make another word I can refer to the description.
thx for the reply,, but your reply was actually my problem my layer modes certain ones wil not effect the other layers in my layer group say im in a layerr group and i have a layer for brushes and all that and then i make a new layer above that layer in the layer group and i make it the color i want it so i hit burn so it wil do that cool effect with the color it doesnt work neither does overlay, dodge etc some do like multiply but... I hope that was clear enough srry if i t wasnt :)
Hey Man...Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us. I was wondering if you had any advise on how to take the final work onto a Website's homepage? I wasn't sure how to make a jpeg of the final work. Thanks.
Muchas gracias por el tutorial! Buenísimo! (:
Thanks U r Amazing!!!!! Pls upload more text effects vids. U r Simply superb!!!! :D :) This video is very helpful and thnx for clear explanation, i made my name, it came perfectly.
how about the shadow, i cant move it together with sphere please tell me what is my problem
good tutorial, i learned a lot from your videos, i want to know how to make transparent spere like crystal ball or transparent tubes
Why are there no more text effects? i love your videos!
Thanks a lot, very good tutorial.
well done ...you're tutorial was great! you describe everything very well! XD
Yeah, I know. I actually did reduce the noise some already though, haha.
How would you make longer text curve over the ball and not be blurred?
Awesome video....thanks for the tutorial :)
the colours? well inside the layer group i have 2 layers.. one is text and the one above that is a layer that i will use to color the text etc,, i tried the paintbrush tool to burn and the layer mode to burn it just doesnt show up at all and i use blue and green and all that with the burn... If that wasnt explained good im srry i can make a quick vid response if that will help
Great tutorial and thank you for sharing it with us :D
Please read the annotation at 10:47.
when i select map to object my letter G does not appear as a little ball it looks plane, as it looks before the map to object. i already tried several times. and i have the gimp 2.8, what can it be?
if this is the first video you have seen, on using GIMP..
U should check out the video GIMP Text Effects - 3D Text which is the video right under the Insect tutorial. He has cleary said how to use some of the items which will help u out in this situation. I got GIMP yesterday and already im using amazing, pro effects! check out tutor4u ;s GIMP videos ....
I think they will help u alot.
I have this yellow and black / blue and black outlines around the layer i choose for some reason, how do i remove them?
Wtf is this commenting system....
Anyways, is it possible to do this with other objects / forms?
I'm so sorry for my great explanation....
Just reply if you didn't understand...
Which you probably didn't....
Thank you so much, this has helped me so much! Although they do look as amazing as yours, I think i've done rather well :D
i can't get full copy of layer group.please help me
Does Inkscape have a way to distort text into the shape of a sphere? I know Inkscape can do a lot of cool things, but my experience is a little more limited with that program.
Thanks alot. very informative.
Thanks for the tutorial, I learnt a lot from this
Thanks for the tutorial, It's awesome!
Can you tell me how I can get back in to change the orientation of the spheres?
When i draw the elipse and i click on the gradient to make the shadow the elipse just goes away. Help please ?
What do you mean? When you try to type something, nothing appears?
File > Export. Then just type the name that you want to save it as with .jpg at the end.
this is awesome! :D im so gonna try it now
i copied the html color code for the green and apparently the colors in your video are a bit faded compared to the image that the html color code displayed. i think it may just be your recording software or something.
This was a good Tutorial... Thanks
AMAZING TUTORTIAL :)
can you put all of the roatations you used for each one to thanks.
Awesome tutorial dude thanks
Yes, as long as you're using gimp (preferably gimp 2.8).
love this but i have to use photoshop for my classes and this e done in photoshop ?
please read the annotation at 10:47

Ummmm there is a black line through my sphere....why is that?
help me , i duplicate group layer , i cant move group layer i have to move one by one .
hwywhywhwy
This is entertaining.
good tutorial.
Yep. You just won't have the convenience of layer groups in 2.6.

LOVE IT
This still works on Gimp 2.6 o:
