Just wrote a another script to generate new layers from the visible paths (stroke-visible-paths, same place)... this coupled with the mirror-layers I wrote a couple days ago, leads to this with very little effort:

Ok ofnuts,

Still works with Gimp 2.8

Thanks again.

Still having fun with this one ofnuts though it took freaking forever to render. lol

Used your Slinky on a circle path then dup rotated one of the paths before running inbetweener set to 50.

That is very cool Lyle.

Since I'm a bit more twisted:


Same source path, half the intermediate, stroke in blue, then duplicate, flip, stroke in red, and blur:

Thanks Molly. Also, yes you are Ofnuts. lol

I put it in my plugins folder, did as Lyle said, read the instructions ofnuts supplied but I sill can't find it.

After you make your two paths open the path dialog and right click on the path, got down to the bottom to where you see tools and click generate intermediate paths

Is there a lot involved with getting python installed on my Win Vinsta machine? I have GIMP 2.6 and I don't know the first thing to do to make this script py work. I don't plan on writing any python scripts so maybe i can just put the script in my program folder.

You have to install Python to enable you to use .py extensions.
If you follow this tutorial to install Python you shouldn't have any problems.

Hi Molly

I tried to download the python files from mediafire and mediafire is starting a web page that says I have viruses on my computer and doesn't let me close the browser windows. Mediafire always worked flawlessly before but this is the first time I have experienced this from them. Is there another place I can download Python and 3 extra modules?

Alan

I got hit with an infected advertisment at Mediafire recently myself (but I'm sandboxed so protected). Sad. It's quite random too depending if you get the targeted advertisement that's been infected. I'm sure the folks that matter at Mediafire will, soon enough, get rid of the infection. As for the files that ofnut hosts at sourceforge, you should not have any issue with them and not sure what link you are using to get them since they, I don't believe, are being hostted by Mediafire Alan.

I have the paths, but nothing in the tools menus that even looks like an inbetween script. Python is installed, I have several python scripts and they all work. I made 2 triangles, identical but one is rotated 90 degrees.

See my earlier post GMS.

I went back to mediafire and downloaded the zip. It didn't give me a hard time this time but it did have a lot of antivirus software advertisements though. I will find time to install Python and the 3 extra modules soon.

Alan

Ah; got confused by what you wanted PegLeg44; yeah, the Windows Installers for Python have to be the right ones. Assuming you used the resource below. You will also, once installed, have to re-install GIMP unfortunately (but don't have to un-install then re-install as the instructions from the link below state). Hope it all works out for you once you do the attempt.

Nice!

Thanks again Ofnuts.

... making gimp paths a little closer to Inkscape, one script at a time...


Thanks for the script!

Thanks a lot for the script!

I managed to install it (Gimp 2.8, Ubuntu Linux 12.04).

Works fine with random paths, now I need to find a way to design some paths...

Definetely Paths are my best option when trying to create non jaggy lines.
