I'm going to show you how to make a melting gold text effect today.
If you don't want the melting effect then don't download the font which I use.
Difficulty rating is 3/10
To make it look like the gold is melting you will need to download this font:
http://www.dafont.com/sf-gushing-meadow.font

First of all just incase you don't know how to install text, all you need to do is download the text and save it anywhere.
Then go to start > control panel < make sure your in classic view < open up fonts folder and paste the downloaded font in there and your done.

1. First thing you must do is create a new document any size you want, the bigger the text the better it looks.

2. Now type in your text using the typing tool and use the font SF Gushing Meadow to get the melting effect. The text must be an orange colour to get the gold.
Colour code i used is cc9900. Now you should have something like below.

3. Now right click your text layer and go to blending options.
Goto to Bevel and Emboss and copy the following settings. The gloss contour is the main part.

4. Now your done and can either edit your background or put your text on another image.
I just changed the background and gave it some lighting effect.

Feel free to post any questions

Kind regards

Thank you. I'll try it when I'll reboot to ubuntu with GIMP
Seems pretty interesting.

No problem but I don't know if it works with gimp. You can always reply back if it does.
