Probably best to use just one layer in this case..

Hello,

@racer-x... wow... i like lava effect and balloons... great...

@Wallace : Don't forget the original script is designed to use "Bristels 03"... a brush having little spaced dots .

When you use a "block" like the asteroid, brushes are too side by side... not enough space between them.

Tips : create you own brush : on another transparent image, paint some asteroids, select few of them and copy... use copy-board as brush :



Never use 5 frames... it's too small 5 x 5 pixels : here the smallest brush is 30 (frames) x 3 (1st brush size) = 90 pixels
Size difference = 2 x 30 = 60 pixels
So : First layer : 90 x 90 ... Second : 150 x 150 ... Third : 210 x 210



Have fun.

Nice asteroids everyone

Thanks for the explanations JimmyMarco

Wallace, I was confused by brush sizes originally but got it from JimmyMarco's explanation in post #24. Made this note to remember it:

Smallest brush size = Frames Number * First brush size
Brush size increase = Frames number * Size difference
Smallest scroll = First brush size
Next scroll = Smallest scroll + Size difference

What I did with your brush was to make a new layer and add asteroids in various sizes. I then copied that layer to clipboard and used the clipboard image for the brush and used just one layer in the script. It's often a hit or miss and you need to experiment.

Relax and have a beer on me...

It is because of the Teapot and Racer-X animations (great idea and great workmanship) that I will always have such an association:
falling snow = drink beer
So since the script can do a lot more than its name says it can change the name (even if only in menu): Falling snow ... to: Falling snow ETC ... or better Falling brush ...
In any case, everyone can name whatever they want (just use a text editor)...

"etc" = Latin phrase: et cetera

Hello,

MareroQ... you are right... in the description, "(or other brush)" is already written in the 4 or 5 last versions.

It's time to change the script title in "Falling snow or other brush..."

As i like the fishes made by teapot, i have tried my own version using self built brush :



Settings used :



...

And the picture used to add by select and copy to Clip-board brush :



And the deep sea picture found on the web.



Have fun.

Hello,

Trying strange idea :



Have fun.

Hello,

Happy to please you.

It's a long story to explain how the strange idea became real.

Imagine like a script :
- New image 900 x 600
- Fill with "Plasma" effect... in Filters > Render > Noise
- Image > Transform > Rotate Clock Wise 90° ==> size : 600 x 900
- Colors > Lumin -90, Contrast 90
- Filters > Blur > Kinetic Zoom Blur : x = 0.5 , y = 0 , factor = 0.2
- Falling snow or other brush... with "Bristles 03" brush :

- Resize animation : 600 x 200
- Layers panel : Chain all 5 Base Layers
- Tool : Perspective Deformation : Bottom Left corner to x = -600 , Bottom Right corner to x = 1200
- Tool : Cutting : layers to image size 600 x 200
- Canvas size : 600 x 400, Align Down, Layers size as image, Fill with transparency
- Duplicate each 5 Base Layers
- Layers panel : Unchain 5 Base Layers
- Tool : Reverse Verticaly 5 Duplicated Layer
- Merge Down each Duplicated Layer on Base Layer

Psychedelic animation is complete, border is another story... and you know how to do a simple border like that.

Have fun.

Hello,

Another strange idea, using same process than previous, with different colors, different settings and rotating move :



Have fun.

Nice abstract animations JimmyMarco Thanks for explaining how it's done.

I like the green one best, looks like a time vortex in the old opening credits for Doctor Who. All you'd need is to add the head of your favourite Doctor

Hi Jimmy Marco. I like the rotating psychedelic GIF. I guess you used another script to rotate the gif.

I looked at the falling snow code. Line 67 has 'allow transparency FALSE'. Changing to 'TRUE' makes no difference. The script will accept transparent brushes as is.

For me the frames number, layer numbers and brush size was making a Rubiks Cube that I could not get past. Scheme is hard to understand so you have done well.

Hello,

Thanks for the comments...



Yeah... me too... thinking about The Doctor making the gifs... and it's easy to add one of them in each animation :







Nop... no script to rotate layers... old method used sometimes.
Some script lines are picked from other Scheme scripts, and line 67 is probably useless... thanks notice that.

Developing a script or a drawing are Rubik's like brain storm, and imagination works hard.

Have fun.

Some terrific stuff going on in this thread by all posters - really like the Dr Who posts. Well done.

Thanks...


And i think... what happens if a Tardis is used as a brush... or four Tardis in a brush :





Have fun.
