PhotoMaster, I love that triple animation with the cube! However, one could get dizzy watching it!

I'm naturally dizzy

PhotoMaster, I am amazed at the triple animation that you did with the cube. Some day if you have nothing to do, would you write a step by step tutorial on how to do that for dummies like me who would never figure it out on their own?

Great cube! I love the message!

I will write it up for you.

PhotoMaster, I like your cube a lot and I'm very interested in your tutorial, too when you can do it. Thank you so much in advance.

Pat625 and Issabella,
Here is the tutorial for the triple animation. I need to write up a script or two to simplify it. It's not difficult, but it is very repetitious and can take a while to do.

I am having a boatload of fun just playing. I'm making up for a couple of years of inactivity.
Gimp is my addiction!

You're really good at the animations. I've always admired the Photomaster loves gimp sig of yours.

PhotoMaster, Thank you so much for your tutorial y your time to do it. :tyspin

To be honest I did a first try without success as I don't understand what I am doing from step 15 on. But I will try it again today

I found a minor issue while making the Rubik's Cube. It doesn't handle transparencies. Filters>Map>Map object will handle transparencies, but G'Mics cube mapping doesn't. It took a couple of hours to make the manual animation, because Filter All Layers and Map Object are not yet working correctly in Gimp 2.8.20. I had to map each frame manually with no other layers or images open.
Starting with the same original image I get these differing results.

wow like the manual transparent one, I'm craving for a script for that if it's hard and time-consuming to create.
Will test first the step-by-step tutorial you posted, would be cool if it was possible to put some other 3D, or animation inside the cube.
Nice work thank you, needs maybe just more frames?

I had a play - need to figure out how not to have a white background included - thank you PM, great tut.
