GIMP 2.2 Animated Rain Script

Description

See what changes I've made to the script below in bold...

Based on a request at gimptalk.com, I've modified the GIMP 2.4 animated rain script so that it will run in GIMP version 2.2. Note: the script will NOT run in GIMP version 2.4. If you want that script, follow this link: ([link]).

This simple script is more of a gimic than anything, but it's still fun! It creates an rain-like animation from a single image, just like the one in the preview above. It is based on this tutorial: [link]

Although scripts of this nature are fun, I suggest taking a look at the tutorial as it's good to know how to accomplish the steps without the script.

Just click on the download link to open the script in your browser window and then save it (File Menu > Save) in your GIMP scripts folder (ie....C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.4\share\gimp\2.0\scripts)

Then, go to the main GIMP window (not the image window) and choose the Xtns Menu > Script-FU > Refresh Scripts and it should appear in the Image Window under the Filters Menu > Animation > Rain...

You set the number of frames the animation will have, how much rain, the blur of the rain, the angle at which it falls, and the speed of the animation.

EDIT: 2/7/08 - Put in an option to add a colored border to the animation, up to 3 pixels in size.

Enjoy!
