Well, for me it would be.
Can anyone make an animation out of this picture here https://www.deviantart.com/sallyanneste ... -919657634
If you could give it a twirling look like a worm hole. I am no good at animations - is it possible?

I recommend IWARP as you can save the twirl as an animation directly through the plugin.

I have placed the IWARP plugin from portable 2.8 in my plugins folder for Gimp-2.10.32 and it works fine. :bigthup

I can upload IWARP here if you want.

I placed mine inside a folder named iwarp and then i placed that folder inside the plugins folder. Then restart Gimp.
It will be under Filters>Distorts>Iwarp.
Have fun! :hehe

There is a lot to play just with the Warp tool, many options

don't forget to click "Create Animation" once you're happy with the END result, GIMP will create an animation from the start you use the warp transform tool up to the end result

Very cool PixLab - you are way in front of the crowd :jumpclap

I like the way it's saved as 'webp' that is just for browsers. Also Gimp Chat obediently uploads it even though it is bigger than the upload limit.
