"gel" text.

[John Culleton]

In Gimp there is a lengthy routine (37 steps) that 
produces display type in a faux 3 dimensional form that 
emulates the true 3D effect found when foil text is laid 
on a book front cover. This procedure is described in 
detail in " The Artist's Guide to Gimp Effects" (Hammel) 
on  page 265ff. He calls it "gel" text. 

Although Krita has the same general mission as Gimp, with 
perhaps more emphasis on drawing, I wonder if anyone has 
attempted this particular 3d or bulging type effect in 
Krita?

I can list the Gimp steps if needed but the Krita 
mechanisms are enough different that I don't know if this 
would be useful.
