all right,

I am trying to make adapt my own work, but I can't get the water to move. I've tried lots of different things, but making animations is something new for me. So now I still have the ripples I picked before even trying to get the water to move....

I'll add the image so you'll get an idea.

I realize this doesn't help much but I know there's a tutorial on Gimptalk. It does similar to what alc59 posted using the Waves filter but looks better. I just cannot find it at the moment. If I can find it, I'll post back.

That's a nice drawing by the way camamaja.

Is this what you are referring to Bug? script added below.

This is not a plugin but very easy to use and free

PS maybe could be used from gimp if you have the ShellOut script from RobA

Nice one Pc. I wonder if that comes in Linux. I have the shellout and also installed Lime but I don't think I can use .exe in my plug-ins

Molly, that looks really nice but I believe this was a "sig" tutorial. It might have involved using GAP. I don't know. I've gone through so many tutorials.

ok, maybe I can help finding it. Do you think it was in GT

or maybe this one
ripples tutorial

I know it was in GT. I'll have another look. Also, I know it was in the official tutorials as I didn't go through the user contributed there.

Maybe this is it. I noticed he used the Waves filter, just not the one for animation. I know I got better looking results by playing around.

Thought i would have a go at it. Using the Filters>Animations>Rippling filter effect on just a selection of the water.

This program that PC posted works very nicely though.More realistic effect anyways.
Reflect Program


You can crop it to size in Gimp very easily.

I made a Youtube tutorial on this subject. There are two examples. the first is using a mirror and the second one using water. Hope this helps.

The reflect version looks pretty darn cool Rod. I might try installing with Wine but I haven't had much success with that.

It is a nice drawing Camamaja. It kind of reminds me of Patrick Nagel's work. What is your intention with the water, though? It seems like the epicenter of the ripples should be around her fingers but I don't know what you're going for.

That is really realistic Bug. I bookmarked it to try. thanks for sharing.

I guess i read camamja post wrong, thought it was about making the water drawing move, not a real photo of water
big difference
nice job Rod on the reflection

thanks everyone!!!!

and thanks especially to ROD and PC. It is just the way I had it in my head. Now I can finally continue with the drawing (didn't see the need to do so if I couldn't make the waves/ripples work in the first place... ) So thanks.
I promise to show you the end result (but please be patient...)

thanks for the compliment
as for the ripples, just ignore them as they were a failure anyway.... (but I guess that's clear already ;-))
