Hey guys, welcome back to NGB 2.0 and in this video, I want to show you how to create 3D cube in GIMP. Now to demonstrate this, first I would like to create a new image with a transparent background. So to do that, go to 'File' and now click on 'New'.
Let the 'Width' and 'Height' of this image be 1920 and 1080. Now click on 'Advanced Options' and inside 'Fill with', you need to select 'Transparency' and now click on 'OK'. Next what you need to do is you need to apply the black color on top of this transparent image.
So black is already selected in my Foreground color. So let me simply drag and drop it on top of the transparent image like this. Next, you need to add a vertical guide.
So to do that, go to the 'Image' menu and now go to 'Guides' and now select 'New Guide'. Now look inside the 'New Guide' dialog box. Inside 'Direction', you need to select 'Vertical' and inside 'Position' 50% is already selected. So I don't want to change it.
Now simply click on the 'OK' button. Next, you need to select the 'Rectangle Select Tool'. And now you need to create a rectangular selection like this.
Now I don't want a rectangular selection. I actually want a square selection. And so to make this square, let me write the values inside the 'Size' option 400 by 400.
All right. Now let me move this square selection and place it somewhere around here. Perfect.
Next, what you need to do is you need to create a new transparent layer. So to do that, click on this option which says 'Create a new layer and add it to the image'. Now look inside the 'New Layer' dialog box.
Let the 'Layer Name' be 'Layer' and inside 'Fill with', 'Transparency' is already selected. So that's fine. This is exactly what I need.
So simply click on the 'OK' button. Next, you need to apply the white color inside this square selection. So white is already selected in my Background color.
So let me directly drag and drop it inside the square selection like this. Next, what you need to do is you need to go to the 'Tools' menu, go to 'Transform tools' and now select this option that is 'Shear'. Now shear this square like this.
And once you're done, simply click on enter. Next, look right here, you're going to find this floating selection. So you need to click on this option which says 'Anchor the floating layer'.
Next, what you need to do is you need to create a duplicate of this layer. So to do that, click on this option which says 'Create a duplicate of the layer and add it to the image'. Next, you need to go to the 'Tools' menu.
Go to 'Transform tools' and now select the 'Flip' tool. Next, look inside the flip settings and right here, you're going to find this option called 'Direction'. So you need to select this value that is 'Horizontal'. And now you need to make a single click on top of the square like this.
Next, what you need to do is you need to turn off the visibility of the background image. And now you need to right click on the image layer, which is present right at the top. And now you need to select this option that is 'New from Visible'.
Next, what you need to do is you need to select the 'Flip' tool once again, and look inside the flip settings. This time inside the 'Direction' option, you need to select the 'Vertical' value. And now you need to make a single click on top of this shape.
Now turn on the visibility of the background image. Next, what you need to do is you need to select this particular image layer, which is present right in the middle. And now you need to go to the 'Colors' menu.
And now you need to select this option that is 'Colorize'. Now look inside the 'Colorize' dialog box. And right here, you're going to find this option called 'Saturation' where currently the value is 0.5. So you need to decrease the value inside the 'Saturation' option
from 0.5 to 0. Also decrease the value inside the 'Lightness' option from 0 to somewhere around, let's say, - 0.378. And now click on the 'OK' button. Next, you need to select the image layer, which is present right at the top. And now you need to go to the 'Colors' menu once again.
And now you need to select this option that is 'Colorize' once again. Now look inside the 'Colorize' dialog box. Decrease the value inside the 'Saturation' option from 0.5 to 0. And decrease the value inside the 'Lightness' option from 0 to, let's say, - 0.209. And now click on the 'OK' button.
Next, what you need to do is, you need to move the image layer which is present right at the top two steps below, like this. Perfect. Next, what you need to do is, you need to select the 'Move Tool'.
And now you need to move this image layer below like this. And that's it. This is how you can create a 3D cube in GIMP.
