Falling snow animated Scheme Script for Gimp

Krikor · **Joined:** Dec 19, 2018 **Posts:** 164

I have a vague reminder that I already had problems with this plugin when I used version 2.10.12 of Gimp.

Now even with a more current version, 2.10.21 and using all the default values, I am not getting a good result.

Defaults settings

It works very well for me.
Can you check for duplicates? (with the option: "All installed scripts")

In the default settings, did you get 25 layers?

Hi MareroQ,
Yes, 25 layers.

I searched for duplicity of this script but it was not found.

I downloaded the gif image you posted.
It is a gif image, but it has only one layer.

I'll check, I must have been wrong when saving the file.
Thx Wallace!

I guess it's not that simple - because I can't see snow.

@Krikor. The plugin works perfectly fine in your example. Make sure to tick "As Animation" when exporting the gif, or you end up with just one layer and no animation.

Make sure "Layer Mode" is set to normal? Or "Opacity" is set to 100?

In post #93 "Layer Mode" is set to normal or "Opacity" is set to 100.

Changing the brush and image doesn't help?

If so - and there is no error message, the problem may be with the script-fu.exe file (I have no other idea - why?).
If you want to look for a solution (without a guarantee of a solution - but with the elimination of one of the possibilities).
Can you count the instances and location of script-fu.exe (screenshot of all instances from eg.: old_script.fu.exe)? - because you probably installed script-fu.exe with a scrollbar (if so - please provide download link).
But not until tomorrow.

I wasn't talking about the layers menu, I was talking about the script interface menu. If you set opacity to 10 or less, it produces the same results as his did.

I believe I don't have any script-fu.exe installed.
After some problems months ago, I chose to replace script-fu.exe with AltDrag.
Recently however I installed Gimpfu.py

Be sure "Brush Dynamics" is off in the brush tool window.

Defaults settings on a black background

I just changed the last option: Open animation windows at end

But the result is definitely satisfactory now.

It was the brush dynamics like I said, wasn't it?

The whole problem was caused by a small piece that is in front of my monitor and that manages the use of the keyboard and mouse ... me. :roll:

Somehow I got two other brush packs that contained the same brush used in default mode - Bristles-03.gbr

With that, I had this brush in 3 instances, creating the effect of falling dust and not snow.

I deleted two of these brushes et voilà

SHOW SPOILER

I'm sorry for being noob and creating such a mess. Tomorrow I will have to audit my brushes.

Thanks to the involvement and interest that everyone showed in this case, I ended up finding the solution.

Thank you all!
