Rubix Cube
1) Open Gimp with a new image 300x300px (white background is ok).
2) Fill the background with a checkboard pattern (Filters / Render / Pattern / Checkboard). Size 100px. You should get something like this: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_y9bIz6XDw1...400/rubik1.jpg 3) Now we will make a grid. Go to Filters / Edge-Detect / Edge Algorithm: Sobel Amount: 2 Smear http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_y9bIz6XDw1...400/rubik2.jpg 4) Invert the colors (Colors / Invert) 5) Now we have a black grid on a white background and we want to make a border around the image. Go to Image / Canvas size. (304x304px) 6) Select the Move tool (M on keyboard) and center the image. If you are able to handle this step with a mouse than ok, but I used arrows on my keyboard, twice right and twice down. 7) Now create a new layer. Select Bucket fill tool (Shift+B), Select all image (Ctrl+A) and fill the image with black. Than move this new black layer down and deselect all (Ctrl+Shift+A). You should get this result: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_y9bIz6XDw1...400/rubik3.jpg 8) Now fill the image with some random colors, i used these (green [307617], blue [173d76], red [ff0000], white [ffffff], yellow [aecb0e]). After that, merge the layer down so you get only one layer. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_y9bIz6XDw1...400/rubik4.jpg 9) Now we are going to make a cube. (Filters / Map / Map object) Use following values, but feel free to change it :p Options/Map to: Box Options/Transparent background checked Options/Enable antialiasing (default) Light/Lightsource type: Point light Orientation/Position (default) Orientation/Rotation X: 30,0 Y: 45,0 Z: 0,0 10) Voila, the cube is done, but you can continue with 3 more steps to make it better :p. 11) Go to a dialog with layers, right-click on the layer you have there (there should be only one now) and click Alhpa to selection. Than go Select, Grow (1px). Create a new layer, fill it black and move it down. Deselect all (Ctrl+Shift+A). http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_y9bIz6XDw1...400/rubik5.jpg 12) Go to Filters / Light and Shadow / Drop Shadow. (0, 0, 8, black, opacity 80) 13) Add a new layer and move it on the bottom. Create some gradient, something like this, which is the final result: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_y9bIz6XDw1...400/rubik6.jpg Did anyone figure it out? |
Fabulous tutorial! |
Cool tutorial! My only criticism is that the colors of the stickers should be logically chosen; that is, each face has a different colored center piece, a sticker cannot appear in the same position on multiple faces, edge pieces and corner pieces cannot have any same-colored stickers, etc. etc. I think it's important that the arrangment of stickers in the final product is possible to replicate on an actual cube.

lol, I just solved my Rubik's cube for the first time today, and I've had it for like 6 years! What a coincidence! XD

What an awesome tutorial! I haven't seen anything like this before. 10/10
(Grr....These boys are being show offy about solving the Rubix Cube. And someone's doing it for their speech demonstration, xD) |
Someone's doing it for their demonstration speech? That would be really difficult to explain every turn you do and nobody would understand a word that came out of your mouth :Tongue:.
