Not a good sign, I'd recommend you do a re-install. If you have saved scripts/plug-ins/etc in the app folders in Program Files, do a back-up of those before re-installing.

That looks to be the same error I used to get when I tried to do certain animations because the angles in the math caused an illegal mathematical error.

Immediately after opening up GIMP from a restart?

Anyone ever get this messgae:

Plug-in crashed: "map-object.exe"
(C:\Program Files (x86)\GIMP-2.0\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\map-object.exe)

The dying plug-in may have messed up GIMP's internal state. You may want to save your images and restart GIMP to be on the safe side.

It keeps coming up even after I restart Gimp.

Remove the map-object.exe in the plug-ins folder and download and place this one there.

That should work

Wanted to try the blend feature with 3 different cubes. They are all Picasso paintings. Unfortunately, the blend filter would only do two cube layers.

Don't know if there's a way to get all 3 cube layers to work. It takes awhile for the animation to load.

Still looks nice though. Great job, O!

I agree that it's a great job!! You did the animation with the first two designs (I'll call them 1 & 2 {so original}). Redo it with images 2 and 3. Save that and open it as layers with 1&2. Repeat this process with 3 and 1. You should now have a single animated image that goes from 1 to 2 to 3 and back to 1 again. It is a little time consuming.

Thank you mahv and Greg.

Hmmm ... got to ponder that a bit. Should work.

Here are my cube layers if anyone wants a go at it. I made the delay 2000 on the two main layers and 120 on the rest. Blend tool intermediate frames, 15.

Yeah I am always having problems with a 45 degree angle for some reason. I'm trying to create X=0 Y=45 but Gimp will not create a cube at that angle no matter how many times I try. Same with X=-45, Y=-45

Sorry to bring an old tut back,but where in Heaven do i find the rule of third on Gimp?
i have it in my script folder,but i can't find it when i open filters

Open the script itself, using notepad, wordpad, etc. Look down at the bottom of the script. IT should say something like this <Image>/
it then has directories after that which are the menu entries

when i get to step 23 i get this message

Calling error for procedure 'gimp-drawable-get-image':
Procedure 'gimp-drawable-get-image' has been called with an invalid ID for argument 'drawable'. Most likely a plug-in is trying to work on a layer that doesn't exist any longer.

even though i have the layers exactly like in the tut

but otherwise it work just fine
