This animation is a gift to Fleur555 ([link]). She loves kaleidoscopes and does a wonderful job creating them. Make sure you visit her site and view her great artwork.
The animation was born out of a suggestion that I make my first ascii animation ([link]) have a matrix-style look. After a couple of iterations, I decided that it might look cool if it was given the perspective that you're looking down a hallway or into a box. More perspective would have accented the effect better, but this is where I stopped.
I wish GIMP/GAP had better transformation/rotation options. Nothing ever lines up on center....always have to adjust the layers a pixel or two manually to get it right (then, it's never really right).
Click on the Download link to see it in action. I will warn you, however, it's a biggie.....4+MB....sorry.
To be honest about 2 hours. I can do one a bit faster now, since I kinda remember the steps. I may be doing another one really soon. Thanks for the compliment.
hehe this is cool
Thanks!
