I use Gimp 2.6.11 but I use a mac so mine might be a little different. Now if I was you what I'd do is I'd make a lot of frame copies and then use the rotate tool and rotate each frame individually until you get a rotation motion going on. If needed you could save each frame individually and then add them later with the open as frame command.

Add them later with Open as frame command?
You will have to explain that one.

I would just copy, rotate slightly, copy, rotate by the same amount again, until I get a full 360.

Oopsie the actual thing on mine is called open as layers, If yours is similar to mine it should be right under open command in the file tab.

And yes that is basically what you should do, any problems I can help.

I wouldn't say I post ACTIVELY here, but I do post when I see something that catches my interest. Like now. I actually made the account to post because I kept seeing interesting things crop up on the sidebar while I was lurking.

The first forum I was ever really active on was GHPF on Pokemon Dungeon and I joined that back in... 2004. I'm still there with the rank of "Forum Legend" (for some reason).

Aaah... open as layers, that I can do manually quite easily, I actually have a nice little idea in mind already for how I am going to orchestrate it. Do you think 60 spins is enough for a fluid turn?
I will try it myself, I have made gifs before... notably one of a guy getting shot and losing his head... but hey :p

It will but you got to be careful, the avatar limitation for non pub club members is 100k in size so if you use too many frames it will be too large of a size to use. what I would do is if you want to make 60 to make a fluid turn do that and then delete every other frame that way it still remains a fluid turn but goes a little faster.

I will see if 60 does it, mine will also be smaller than yours, probably 75x75 on the dot, so less bits used. How many frames and kbs is yours?

A little over 100 I think its 104 to be exact, Luckily I have a pub club membership so I can make my avatars bigger and longer.

Nice, must be good practice, I should try for people who will accept a mess-up or two :p
GIMPing in general I find to be quite fun, which certainly helps. It is good with IT too...

I am quite impressed by the transformation effect there, the glowing eyes I can do, but the morphing looks like it took quite a bit of effort.

I didn't do the cool animation part, I got that from a separate gif, It'd be really cool if I could have made that but I don't have the artistic ability yet.

Aah, I suppose we all have to learn to get there one way or another.
My recent work is less sparkly, more shiny.

Since last Winter but I had heard of this site when Yatzee posted his video on Youtube but I did not join straight away. I had lurk on theforum for a while until I finally decided to join for the hell of it (there had been some comments I had wanted to post).

I'm old so I've been on forums for about 15 years, back when it was either this or getting eyestrain from from the constant scrolling text of a chat room. I was administrator of a now dead that specialized in internet and PC help. I can't remember the name of the forum, just my handle was PhuckDup, an admittingly childish handle, but to give me credit I was a child at that point.

First of all, welcome to the forums, and ignore anyone who tells you to stay out of the basement.

I've been on here for almost 4 years now, just as it's inconspicuously not pointed out below my avatar. I was active on forums long before I discovered The Escapist, though I don't remember where I've actually made my very first post.
