Made 100% with gimp.
Hope you guyz like it.

Point for masochism, but you could have done that much more easily in Blender (http://www.blender3d.org/). :)

Hehe. Nice 3D in a 2D app :p

[shachi]

yea but unfortunately I don't have blender and I also don't know how to animate with blender, I don't even know how to put on textures with blender just simple modeling and supersampling. By the way you are pretty good at modeling Twey. I saw your art in your website. I give you a Hats off.

Thanks drj33.:)

And there are tutorials. Quite a few of them. It's not the simplest tool to use, but you can (eventually) do just about everything that's possible with more user-friendly editors, and usually with better control.

The gingerbread man was originally a stage on one of the tutorials, which I modified somewhat, so it's pretty decent. The other is less impressive, since I created it myself. :p

Yea I know it's opensource and I used it some times ago(also used anim8or) and I also read some tutorials but never found one related to animating with blender:( . But now the computer I am using is not capable of running powerful programs like blender(even gimp gets slower) and the other thing is that I don't even know how to install a software for linux from source code(sth like make, make install, ./config, make mrproper and bla bla). And I don't use Windows now.:(

I also read some tutorials but never found one related to animating with blenderThere's one on the site I linked to above.
But now the computer I am using is not capable of running powerful programs like blenderBlender's surprisingly resource-light for most operations. I've used it on an 800MHz P3 with 512MB RAM without too much trouble.
and the other thing is that I don't even know how to install a software for linux from source codeWhat distro do you use? Most of them provide a Blender package.
(sth like make, make install, ./config, make mrproper and bla bla).The common method is ./configure && make && make install, but you should always read the bundled documentation and ./configure --help (not that anyone does :p).

I am using CentOS.

[Twey]

Oh, that uses yum, doesn't it? Try just:
# yum install blender

[shachi]

Yes it does. It says sth like No matches for package blender.

[Twey]

You can find it in this repo (http://centos.karan.org/). Install that, then yum install blender again.

[shachi]

Thanks Twey!!

How about this guyz?? http://img56.imageshack.us/img56/4674/3doj8.gif

Has flickers but I was getting bored of doing the animation manually.

[Twey]

Lol.

Good job with the light effect.

[shachi]

It'd have looked a lot better if I was not lazy enough.:p
