Introduction
To simplify the work of animating my cartoon about a mouse, a plug-in for the GIMP raster editor has been written, to allow the direct exporting of multi-layered images to corresponding layers of the 2D animation package Synfig.
Installation
You can download the synfigexport plugin here.
To make it work, Gimp must support Python, and the most recent version of Python must be installed on your computer.
From Gnu/Linux operating system like, to install this plug-in, simply put the file in "~/.gimp-*/plug-ins/" and make it executable "chmod u+x synfigexport.py", then restart gimp.
The plug-in registers itself in the GIMP Export File dialog box "<File> → Export".
Usage
- Firstly, from Gimp, save your image.
- Open the Export (or "Export As") dialog box, select "Synfig Studio" has file type (.sifz), choose a destination folder and a name, and exports gimp document to synfig's canvas and png images.
- There are export options you can choose.
Here is the result:
