Sure is.

I just found this out, but just in case you guys didn't know
after saving the file as .gif animation, you can reopen the .gif and change the layers delay time individually (the number then "ms" for milliseconds in the name of the layer) of each layer.
Below here I made it slow down (a higher number of ms) for frames that show the words and left the frames as fast for when the words are rotating.

Trandoductin, I love this script.

Tin, thank you for the script!

Animation on the browser is slower and some shadows appear.
Being a .gif image appear many jaggies and resolution drops tremendously.

K1TesseraEna, i don't think i can write a script that can rotate paths. if i do it'll only rotate the paths around the z axis (from you going toward the screen) like gimp rotate tool. I don't know if you rotate a path around the x or y axis like your example animation.
That beehive pattern sphere animation is cool btw!

just for fun an a combination of blinking and rotating

Nice script trandoductin - thank you.

There are some errors in your let* bindings:
The dummy-variable should not be necessary and should be removed.

The set! should be removed. Its presence should generate a syntax error but what actually happens with the Script-fu interpreter is a variable named 'set!' is created and initialized to the value of 'visibles'; the '(cdr visibles)' is ignored. This 'set!' variable has no effect since 'set!' is a keyword and never evaluated as a variable.

The other bindings should be supplied with initial values per the Scheme specification. The fact that the Script-fu does not flag this as a syntax error is a bug and the actual result is not consistent (which is probably the reason you were compelled to introduce the dummy variable). It does not matter what the initial value is, but it should be present. Even if your script works without the initial value on your machine, it may not on someone else's, or with different (including future) versions of GIMP.

Writing a script that rotates a path around an axis would be a challenge, but do-able*. The effect in your provided link, however, is not a simple rotation around a (straight) axis, but a rotation around a (curved) path. While not completely impossible, I believe accomplishing this in Script-fu would prove even more of a challenge than handling rotation around an axis (since there is no path-along-path function in the PDB).

If I find myself with some spare time, though, I will investigate.


* There is no perspective transform for paths in the Procedural DataBase. I actually implemented such function for my Warp Text script.

Thank you saulgoode, I have made these changes (now updated in the first post).

Thank you Tran and Saul.
