3D Text Effect with GIMP

In this tutorial I’ll be demonstrating how to create a 3D text effect with GIMP. This is a tutorial that I did a few years ago, but I feel like I glossed over some important details in that video, and GIMP has undergone quite a few updates since then, so I figure this would be a great opportunity for a refresher.
Want to learn more about how GIMP works? Check out The GIMP Series - a comprehensive collection of over 60 videos where I go over all of the major tools, features and functions in GIMP and explain what they are and demonstrate how they work. Learn more here: logosbynick.com/gimp/

    This doesn't happen to me when I use the circle from the brushes, but it does happen when I draw a circle with the elipse tool and then fill it in with a color, but the pixels go away as soon as I zoom in or out. I'd say it may be an artifact that isn't really going to be there once saved and or printed...don't know what causes it though. I have an old computer with an old graphics card and always thought it was due to that, but not sure.
