The filter is derived from the «Alien Glow» script ( → → → in the image window), which creates the following text effect:
The «Alien Glow» Script-Fu script.
Reproducing this glow is easy:
If necessary, create a selection from the alpha channel of the active layer.
Fill the selection with the following Gradient Blend: Shape = Shaped (spherical); Gradient = FG to BG (RGB), with FG = dark gray (79,79,79), BG = black.
Create a new layer («Alien Glow») below. Extend the selection slightly, feather it, and fill it with the Glow color.
Create a new background layer filled with black.
This is actually the font size option of the «Alien Glow» Script-Fu script. However, two values will be set in relation to this size: the glow will be enlarged by «Glow size» / 30, and feather radius is «Glow size» / 4. You should probably choose the height of your objects for this option (ignore «pixels * 4»).
This is the color of the «eerie» glowing. Of course it defaults to green (63,252,0), but a click on the swatch button brings up the color selector where you can choose any color.
