It looks nice and fascinating, Issabella.

One question (you know my curiosity...):

1-did you have in mind a scene seen thru a glass with rain-drops on it (rain has just started)
or
2-a direct scene view with a so lazy (lazy like me!) rain that drops are falling down so slowly that they look still round
or
3-a photo taken with a very short time of exposure, so that (again) drops look round?

the doubt makes the picture more fascinating!...

Thank you Dinasset. Then "the doubt makes the picture more fascinating!..." Let's be it more fascinating...

...I was suspecting it was a feminine trick to improve fascination!!!
Mysterious girls...create mysterious outcomes!..

Excuse me for digging this old thread out again.
But I have a problem with this script and GIMP 2.10.
It sometimes works and sometimes it does not. Finishing with this message:



Is there a way to make the raindrops work for 2.10?

Thanks a lot
nelo

It's really an old affair, I'll try to see what I can do, but it will take some time, sorry, Nelo.
(Also, quite a lot I do not manage .scm filters...maybe I will "convert" it to .py and check, but no promise)

Nelo,
I did some tests: it seems you get the mentioned error when there is no selection.
Hence, my suggestion to solve the problem is:
- if you do not have a need to select a specific area (a flower e.g.), then do: select all then selection shrink 1.
Let me know if using this technique you still get that error.

In spite of my lost habit on managing .scm filters, I guess to have fixed the problem you noticed (random errors).
Try this version and tell me, Nelo.

Ohh, wow! Thank you so very much Diego.

It almost works. There seems to be a problem with the gradient name (line 106) when GIMP's version is non- English. Changed that to German and script worked to the end.
One minor issue: it left the Map Layer visible, which resulted in a bw-photo. Switching that to invisible ... and all is perfect.

Thank you so very much again. Would have been a pity if that script couldn't be used anymore.

Glad you have it working again, Nelo.
About the gradient name: yes, I should have done something like "get gradients list" then use element #4, but this is outside my today's ability to work with .scm
About the visibility of the map this sounds a bit strange to me: on my PC the final outcome has it invisible, and you can verify that statement #222 just says
(gimp-item-set-visible mapLayer 0)
which sets it invisible

Just to let you know: mysteriously today it works as expected.
Don't know what happened yesterday. Was my machine too busy, so it didn't come to an end as it should?
Don't know ... and not important anymore.
Once more : many many thanks Diego.

OK, then.
Thanks for the update.

I get brush errors when running this script. Where are the brushes that make the script run?

Maybe these?

I already have those brushes. Those brushes aren't the problem.

Here are other screen shots of what the problem is:

You asked for the brushes in your first post, that's the reason why I posted them.
But it seems to be a gimp function no (more) running:
gimp-drawable-get-pixels
I do not have a solution, sorry.

But it still works on 2.8, just re-tested

BTW, did you download and test the version called "fixed" at post #38?
I re-post it also here, it seems to have solved that problem.

I downloaded and ran draw random drops and I still get errors

Did you remove the old one before installing the fixed?
