Description

This is a modder's resource for GIMP.
The download contains an XCF file with a path in the shape of a Fibonacci Spiral with 15 squares in 9870x6100 resolution.

Main purpose is to create image composition overlays for ENB. Currently the only mod i'm aware of using overlays is PRC - PhotoRealistic Commonwealth.




How to Use

Step 1)

Each of the following operations are optional suggestions to customize the spiral!

  • flip this image horizontally / vertically to place the eye of the spiral into the desired corner
  • rotate it by 90° to get a portrait format
  • open another instance of this image -> flip / rotate -> copy & paste the path back into the original -> merge paths (to get multiple spirals in one template)
  • paint additional paths, like diagonals / triangles or complete the Phi Grid in the center
  • rescale the entire image to fit your desired target image OR aspect ratio, like 3840x2160 or 1748x1080 (see author images for recommendations)
  • note: the spiral works best in the original ratio of 1 : 0.618 or 1.618 : 1 (or the equivalent portrait format) - stretched landscape seems alright as well


Step 2)


  • hide the black background layer
  • select a Foreground Color (probably white, light grey or black)
  • use the operation "Stroke Path" as shown in the main image (you should find an optimal "Line Width" value for your intended resolution, so the lines are neither too thick nor too thin)
  • export as compressed .PNG - for the PRC overlays, you'll have to overwrite one of the existing "OVL_" textures





Fiboo... OMG WHY?!?

A Fibonacci Spiral is an approximation of the Golden Spiral, which is used for composition in arts.

Now i wanted to customize the screenarchery toolbox of PRC - PhotoRealistic Commonwealth, but could not find any useful GIMP resources on the web. So i had to figure out how to do this myself.
There probably are other uses for this besides the ENB Overlays, nevertheless that's what this mod is made for. The template is 100% scratch-made with just the basic GIMP tools, any feedback is welcome.

Feel free to create and share your own overlays with this. The only thing i ask for is a mention in your credits with a link to this mod.
