Animation of Qbist pictures
Mon Jan 16, 2023 10:42 pm
Hi. I´m new here. I saw a music video from 2010 with animated Gimp Qbist pictures, but have no idea how to do such things. I do a lot with Qbist, but how to bring these pics to life? For this is my first post, I´m not allowed to give a link to the video. Thx in advance for advise.

Hi welcome to Gimp Chat.
I've found that filters that do 'random' effects are not so good for animation. The reason is because you usually animate a series and anything random applied to a series looks like chaos. Then again I haven't used qbist as a stand along animation method so I maybe wrong. A simple way to do animation in Gimp is convert a video into a series of png's and then process then with something like G'MIC testing, in particular some of Joan Rake and Reptorian's filters. Some of their filters look very qbist. To do that I use a shell script under Linux
