Whoa nixnine! That is mysterious, spooky and downright awesome. Very nice job!

This one was fun. Clipped the blue one, though, while adjusting size. Oh well. I like it.

Well if you clipped the blue one, I can't see it. Looks perfectly spherical to me.

that is so cool nixnine. love it. the colors are great......

I like how you added your name to the globe.

hadn't seen that at first

It's look great Nixnine....i like it

Did you know that there is another new planet in the space? Ooo,yes. It's called planet Gimp.

super. very nice blends.....

Thanks Molly but still it goes fast...don't know what am i doing wrong....i put 200ms delay per frame

Did you leave it at combine with 80 frames? I didn't change any of the numbers.... just left it at combine and clicked oK....

i think i am ...... when i finished with animation i went to filters - settings and set 200 ms per frame

before i finished i did this :
combine background.....delete background......optimize (difference)....image (mode-indexed..) and then filters - settings....

I don't think you need to go to filters settings.. With the 80 frames it will go to combine. I would leave it there (instead of replace) then do you optimize (difference), you will end up with one combined animation and the rest will look like they are transparent.

ok Molly..i'll try that

I think one of these planents would looks cool if they were made from a snake skin....

thats better ana. beautiful in fact. @Willy, how bout you making one out of snake skin? would love to see it.... You could always use the tropics for a background.

Very nice, Ana. I like your Gimp world

'd by molly a little.

Ana, your world is spinning at the same rate as the rest of them. I looked at yours in gimp and all of the layers are set at (100ms)(combine).

When you ran Optimize (Difference) if a speed was not designated before running it, the speed is automatically set at (100ms)

When saving in gif format, changing the speed in the last dialog will NOT change the speed of your animation if it is already set (which yours was). To change it to 200ms, you would have had to change it before saving the image.

Before you run the Spinning Globe filter, name your layer: globe (200ms). That will make all of the frames at 200ms.

80 frames set at 200ms will make the sphere turn with jerks instead of smoothly. The only way you can slow it down and have it turn smoothly is to make the spinning globe with more frames.

I've made a demo to show the difference. The one on the left is 100ms, the right is 200ms, both with 80 frames.


If you want to change the speed AFTER you have run the Spinning Globe filter you will need saulgoode's anim-settings-semiflatten.scm - Filters > Animation > Settings with Semi-Flatten. When setting the speed for an animation with a combined background, be sure to UNCHECK the semiflattening feature and just change the speed. <O note: See my post here.>

I've attached the script below because I can't find it online. Put it into your .gimp-2.6 / scripts folder.

I always like lots of frames. I used 200 frames at 100ms.
