Texture Generator (for 3d artist - I hope!)

krypt — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 16:28:22 +0200

The purpose of this script is to create textures for floors or walls without having a repetition, sometimes annoying.

Iterative Save

necroticist — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 19:41:36 +0200

Once installed, this plugin will add an 'Iterative Save' entry in your GIMP menu, under File -> Save. Using this with an image which has been previously saved as an XCF will now save the image with an added numeric suffix. The first time this feature is invoked, it will save your image as yourfile_0000.xcf; subsequent calls will continue to save the image with an increased numeric suffix (i.e. image_0001.xcf, image_0002.xcf, etc).

Note that for safety reasons, this plugin will only work on XCF files. You can easily modify the source code to override this limitation, but given the non-interative saving procedure, that might not be a very good idea.

Archive packages contain both binaries and source code.

Color Spotter

juef — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 04:22:11 +0200

What is Color Spotter? Basically, it's contrast, but "centered" around a color. Another way to see it is as another "Color selection" tool: you specify an image, a kind of threshold, and it selects color that are close to the one you specified; only, Color Spotter keeps every pixel from the image, darkening the wanted colors, brightening the others.

The best way to understand is to see it in action:

Here, the selected color was from a pixel from the plantpot (beige-ish).

This plug-in was mostly an experiment for me: you could say I made it just to get familiar with programming C plug-ins in GIMP. I have another plug-in I want to make, but as it's much more complicated, I wanted to make sure I could deal with the basics first.

Suggestions welcome! Thanks for reading, hopefully this will be useful to at least one person :)

Win-Iconizer

krypt — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 17:08:28 +0200

Win-Iconizer plug-in converts all visible layers of a single image into a multi-layered image.
The new image will contain all the sizes and all the standard bit depths that you chose.

Gimp IDE

Dmitry — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 12:42:50 +0200

Simple GIMP IDE.

In fact, Gimp IDE is a simple text editor with syntax highlighting, with the ability to run the script.
Simple dialog allow you to create plug-in based on you script.

Perhaps fills a gap between conventional designer who can copy-paste from the web page, but can not edit and save script as plug-in.

In feature i plan create mini plug-in repository in internet with simple lifecycle as:

1) Select plug-in from menu (content menu is list of plug-ins on server).
2) Plug-in automaticaly download from server and run

Also this mini IDE is suitable for games with GIMP and study its internal structure.

Installing instructions for windows:

1) Install Gimp 2.6 (if not installed) into c:\bin\gimp\
2) Install Python 2.5 (if not installed (check in Gimp)) into c:\bin\gimp\python
3) Install PyGTK
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/pycairo/1.4/pycairo-1.4.12...
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/pygobject/2.14/pygobject-2...
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/pygtk/2.12/pygtk-2.12.1-3....
4) Install GTK Binaries or add c:\bin\gimp\bin\ into PATH environment variable (check you path! path must be, a ptah to Gimp bin directory)
5) unpack dll.zip into c:\bin\gimp\bin\ (check you path).
this archive contents: libglade-2.0-0.dll libgtksourceview-2.0-0.dll
6) unpack python.zip into c:\bin\gimp\python\lib\site-packages\ (check you path)
this archive contents: gimpcolor.pyd _gimpenums.pyd gimpfu.pyc gimpplugin.pyc
gimpshelf.py gimpthumb.pyd _gimpui.pyd gtksourceview2.la gimpenums.py
gimpenums.pyo gimpfu.pyo gimpplugin.pyo gimpshelf.pyc gimpui.py gimpui.pyo
gtksourceview2.pyd gimpenums.pyc gimpfu.py gimpplugin.py gimp.pyd gimpshelf.pyo
gimpui.pyc gtksourceview2.dll.a pygimp-logo.png

If you Gimp distribution setup with enabled python supprt, you only need: gtksourceview2.dll.a
gtksourceview2.pyd and gtksourceview2.la files

7) Unpack gimpide in some place and check set-up:
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\bin\GIMP\bin
C:\bin\GIMP\Python\python.exe gimpplug.py
(check you path)
if you see errors - let me know

8) If you Gimp distribution setup with enabled python supprt, skip this item.
Unpack pygimp.interp.zip into c:\bin\GIMP\lib\gimp\2.0\interpreters
this file contain path to python interpreter. Edit him in notepad if you need (check paths).

9) If you Gimp distribution setup with enabled python supprt, skip this item.
Unpack plug-ins.zip into c:\bin\gimp\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\

10) Unpack gimpide.zip into c:\bin\gimp\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\

THE END :-)

Example script (simple paset it into GIMP IDE editor and run):
# -*- coding: utf8 -*- #Create border with bg and fg color #based on http://blogpost.am9.ru/?cat=14


import gimp

from gimpfu import pdb

from gimpfu import *
#BORDER WIDTH

width      =  20

#Edit this ^^^^^^^
images = gimp.image_list()

image = images[0]

image.undo_group_start()
old_background_color = pdb.gimp_context_get_background()

old_foreground_color = pdb.gimp_context_get_foreground()
image_width  = pdb.gimp_image_width(image)

image_height = pdb.gimp_image_height(image)

# get a copy of background

background_copy = pdb.gimp_image_get_active_layer (image)

border = pdb.gimp_layer_copy(background_copy,0)

pdb.gimp_image_add_layer(image, border, -1)

#select and make stroke

pdb.gimp_rect_select(image, width, width,  image_width - 2*width , image_height - 2*width , CHANNEL_OP_REPLACE,  0, 0.0)
drawable = pdb.gimp_image_active_drawable (image)

# TODO somehow set the width for the stroke

pdb.gimp_edit_stroke(drawable)

# fill by foreground color

pdb.gimp_selection_invert(image)
pdb.gimp_context_set_foreground(old_background_color)
drawable = pdb.gimp_image_active_drawable (image)

pdb.gimp_bucket_fill(drawable,FG_BUCKET_FILL,NORMAL_MODE,100,0,0,width/2,width/2)

pdb.gimp_layer_set_opacity(border,50)

pdb.gimp_selection_none (image)

# megre visible layers

pdb.gimp_image_merge_visible_layers(image,EXPAND_AS_NECESSARY)
pdb.gimp_context_set_foreground(old_foreground_color)

pdb.gimp_context_set_background(old_background_color)

image.undo_group_end() gimp.displays_flush()

Known issues:
* Under Windows syntax highlight not work. (May be mime detection broken)
* The strange игп is lost when the contents of global dict:

if you write
import aaa def a(test): print aaa.somefunction(test) a("foo")

Python will swear that the aaa module is not loaded
workaround: import aaa def a(test): import aaa print aaa.somefunction(test) a("foo")

Palette Generator

krypt — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 15:07:17 +0200

New version:1_3
Add to palette black, gray and white by default.

New version:1_2
Save palette bug fixed.

Version:1_1
Adjust light of scheme work fine (I hope!)

It generates palette by following the harmonic schemes of color: monochromatic, complementary, triadic, tetrad and analogous.
Options:
- you can choose between the digital wheel (RGB) and the real wheel (RYB);
- you can choose whether to use the color "web safe" or not;
- you can see in real time in a preview page the combination of colors;
- you can save a Gimp or Inkscape palette.
Required python libraries: :
- GrapeFruit-0.1a3
INSTALLATION: copy file gimp_palette_generator.py to the standard place for plugins (folder "plug-ins").

See: http://krypt77.altervista.org/index_gimp.htm

Perspective Reflection Script

dln385 — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 07:43:39 +0200

This script modifies a layer to have a perspective and reflection consistent with that perspective.

This script is not finished. It has not been tested very much, and it is missing major features to come later on.

To install this script, copy it to your scripts folder, then restart Gimp. If you don't know where your scripts folder is, then go to Edit > Preferences > Folders > Scripts.

To run this script, select Filters > Decor > Perspective Reflection.

Feedback is appreciated.

New Engrave plugin

leware — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 15:04:15 +0200

This plugin is an alternative to the existing Engrave plugin supplied with GIMP. Basically, the plug-in transforms a grayscale image into a series of horizontal lines of varying widths. For example, the following (small) image

can be transformed into:

(stand back 10-20 feet).
