GIMP Animated Fire Scriptby ~fence-post

Resources & Stock Images / Application Resources / GIMP Scripts & Plugins

April 1, 2010: Big updates to the script! Removed some items that I felt were just cluttering it up and added some new options AND some GIMPressionist settings.

If you had the previous Animated Fire script installed, please delete it.

You can now modify the noise levels, adjust the active layer blend mode, and adjust the flame layers blend modes. I've removed a couple of features in order to keep the script dialog from being too big (it's already big enough). One of these features is setting the speed of the animation (it automatically assigns 41 ms to each frame.)

Copy GIMPressionist presets to your GIMP Gimpressionist Presets Folder (ie..C:\Documents and Settings\username\.gimp-2.6\gimpressionist\Presets)

Copy script (.scm file) to your GIMP scripts folder (ie.. C:\Documents and Settings\username\.gimp-2.6\scripts)

Refresh your scripts (Filters > Script-Fu > Refresh Scripts)

Run the script (Filters > Animation > Animated Fire....)

Check out this thread at gimpdome.com to see examples! [link]

This script is based on the tutorial found here:[link]

In addition to the new options briefly described above, the script has several other choices.

Script Options

If you create a layer with transparency around it (just like the text in the animated preview), you can tell the script to add it above the flames. This is the default option. Make sure you create the layer just like you want it and choose the desired blend mode.

You can also use a "mask" to cut the flames to a particular shape. Here's a link to the different mask options:

Transparency around the mask [link]

Background filled in with color around mask
[link]

In both cases, you need to choose a mask background color . In the transparency option, the mask background color will be used to reduce jagged edges. Pick a color that closely matches the background color of the webpage you're placing it on.

Mask example [link]

The mask doesn't have to be white on black. It can be white on a transparent background as well.

Other Examples

Blend mode set to overlay [link]

Using the "Gold" Gradient [link]

No gradient added, just a blend of the fg/bg colors [link]

Displacement option - moves the layer with the flames [link]

Let me know if you have any questions or problems, but I won't be responding right away as I'm still on break.

Take care.

Technical Difficulty:
Gimp version: 2.8
Problem: The script window is too big.
Proof: [link]

I know this is for gimp 2.6, but is there anyways for a 2.8 version? If so. Then - I don't mean to be annoying since there might already be a lot of people here that requested you stuff... * You might have to make one for the new version.

One of the hardest things to find; looping, animated flames. And you made it easy!
Thanks!

can this be used in photoshop?

You, Professor, can seriously help me to help a young guitar whiz. How can I get you out of retirement?
This kid can actually teach the backwards guitar stuff you've heard from Hendrix - Kramer recorded him - I paid for it.
I've played for more than 40 years - Bach to Hendrix - and I haven't seen a savant like this. Give me an email and I'll send you some unreleased tracks. I'm almost 60 and definitely not a stalking guy - that you play is the factor. I'm portboy and you can hit that at g mail - not complicated si? What I want to accomplish is your flame thingie active on a moving Fender Custom Strat - and any input from you to help attract attention to a totally superior musical artiste

Ok I want to add the flames, but I don' want it taking up the whole picture..I can't resize them without resizing the main background picture....

Have you tried setting the taskbar to autohide to see if you have access to the confirmation button?
