As someone new to both krita and gimp ( and graphic design in general) i find krita way too cerebral to use where as gimp is just practical for me. Both have fairly complex interfaces, but gimp is much easier to comprehend. Krita just has a thousand buttons, symbols, and features that are hard to link any meaning to out of the gate. Krita admittedly has better tools for animating that i wish gimp had. I'm looking to create game assets on the cheaps.
Thank you for this, things are starting to make sense finally ;). I would love to find the video where you show how you did the character, but I can't find it?
Would there be a way of creating a generic image "box" that would hold any particular image pasted into it? For example, if my character doesn't have moving parts, I just want them to bob up and down as they walk across the screen, that's a pretty simple frame by frame. However, I'd like to apply that to numerous characters so redoing this over and over would be tedious especially when the movement is all you want to keep. Thanks!
then just arrange them as layers sequentially then play the animation 'playback' (I don't know if it's possible to control how fast or slow the next layer or picture appears in gimp so I use a separate app, a video editor app)
hi, I have a short animation exported with the file extension ".gih" for gif, but I want to export it as a video. when I put this gif into my video editing software it isn't compatible. Any advice on exporting? thanks
Hi Ammar, if possible, have you tried exporting your animation as a ".gif" instead? If you did export as a ".gih" with an "h" and not ".gif" with a "g", that is a real extension but I think it's for an animated GIMP brush.
