Wrap Text Around a Cylinder in GIMP | 3D Typography

In this GIMP text effect tutorial, I show you how to easily wrap text around a 3D cylinder using built-in tools inside this free photo editor and graphic design program. Using this method, you can position the text any way you want in 3D space and have your lighting and shading automatically applied. This technique is also known as Kinetic Typography because the text appears to be in motion.

    Fabulous! I've been using GIMP for decades but never beyond simple text, layers, and transparency. I love learning about the advanced techniques. Well done.

    Hey Davies, love seeing your work, the possibilities within GIMP never cease to amaze me. One question, I did this tutorial on a 4K Monitor, while everything went smoothly, the preview image of the 3D Mapping tool was very small, only 200x200. I was wondering if there is any chance of increasing said size. Thank you so much and keep at it!

    how am i supposed to get a half cylinder with the other half transparent? I tried to use a layer selected with the half of it empty but the cylinder mapping got weird with part of it cylinder mapped and some parts with the full original image pasted on a side of the cylinder with no stretched at all.

    Hello all! I have some questions. In this video if you click text or Alignment it brings up options in the left panel. My Gimp is not doing this. I have to go to Windows - Tool options to get the menu which is then only floating . As soon as I click out the program it disappears. How can I get the left panel option??? Also the text at 150 is too larger and wraps. I try to reduce it and selecting it all but the changed font size will not register. It will not change! Why??

    I can't find 'map to object' when I enter map in the search and run option in the Help Tab. I work with Gimp 2.10.14 and O.S. is Ubuntu 18.04 Where can I find the option Map to Object ? Thanks

    You can locate it in the main menu by going to Filters>Map>Map Object. Any reason you haven't updated to GIMP 2.10.22?

    If you can't find it in search, it's probably because the image isn't in RGB. Click Image > Mode > RBG. It fails to show up in search if not.
