There’s a nice tutorial by Bernhard Stockmann, that shows how to do that. We will turn the ring-layer into chrome now. Grab the left edge and drag it to the inner guide.īecause we’ll need this selection many times, we’ll save it in a channel: Select / Save to channel Click in the selection again with the Ellipse Select Tool. Fill the selection with a medium grey (#9d9d9d) (Edit / Fill with FG color shortcut ctrl + ,) The guides will help you to perfectly align the selection to the middle. Then drag a selection from the middle to the outer guide. Tick “Expand from center” and choose 1:1 as fixed aspect ratio.
At last insert a horizontal guide at 50% (It opens the last used plug-in or filter)
The fastest way to open the dialog again is pressing ctrl + shift + f. Image / Guides / new Guide (by percent): direction: vertical, position: 5%. (Edit / Fill with FG color shortcut: ctrl + ,) Take a dark grey (#454545) as FG color and fill the image with it. That means you need GAP 2.8 for GIMP 2.8.x or GAP 2.6 for GIMP 2.6.×. Important: The versions of GAP and GIMP must be equal, otherwise it doesn’t work. (If somebody finds a good one, please post a comment.)Īfter the installation you’ll find a new entry in GIMP’s menu: Video You have to search for solutions on your own.
Unfortunately I must dissappoint Mac users: I’m not sure if an installation file exists for Mac OS/X. Windows users will find all needed information at the bottom of the download page of. Linux users usually can install it from their distributions repositories (in Ubuntu it’s the package “gimp-gap”). This way the animation gets smoother and we can put more effort into the design.Įnough of talking! I hope you'll have much fun and motivation in this tutorial! Tutorial detailsįirst you need GAP of course. Besides it makes it possible to create more frames without any additional effort. No doubt a very exhausting work, which can be done by GAP. In Reitermaniac's tutorial the animated parts of the radar are duplicated, organized and rotated manually. That's the actual reason for this new tutorial. Motivation GAP stands for "GIMP Animation Package" and like its name says it's a package of plug-ins for gimp to create and work on animations.
