GIMP Animation Package is a collection of Plug-Ins to extend the GIMP with capabilities to edit and create Animations as sequences of single frames.

Please note that gimp-gap 2.2.1 requires gimp 2.2 and glib 2.8 or higher. It is recommended to use gtk+ 2.8.

Additional Installation Notes:

This GIMP-GAP release includes sourcecode tarballs of external libraries :

- ffmpeg
- libmpeg3

Those libs are built automatically. Configuration options for those libs can be set by editing the
files:

extern_libs/configure_options_ffmpeg.txt
extern_libs/configure_options_libmpeg3.txt

Those configure_option files are read by the master .configure script

Installation:

./autogen.sh # includes the ./configure call
make
make install

GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely distributed program for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring.

Particle Simulation project is a simulation of spraying up to 60k particles in realtime.
Particle Simulation is a playful simulation game which allows you to spray particles into the "air". The number of simulated particles is only limited by the speed of your computer.
The particles dont interact with each other, but will bounce back from the ground and accelerate depending on a gravity constant.
This constant can be changed (along with a number of other parameters) in the source code or via commandline parameters.
Enhancements:
- Colors were adjusted and a new animation mode was introduced.
- Segmentation fault was fixed.

Animadead is a skeletal animation library designed to load and play skeletal animations.
Animadead supports models that are composed of several swappable meshes bound to a single skeleton that can be driven by multiple animations. There is an export plug-in for Maya, and others are in development, including plug-ins for 3D Studio Max and Lightwave.
It is written in C++ and has no dependencies. However, an example implementation is provided that uses OpenGL and SDL.
I wrote a shader in CG for OpenGL, which didnt work well on my system, I think due to the best OpenGL CG profile my card supported doesnt utilize the full potential of my card, and I had trouble with passing the list of bone matrices to the card.
The compiler for the supported profile had a ridiculously low number of uniform parameters I could send. So for my simple boxman demo, which has 41 bones or so, I couldnt get it to work, and I didnt feel like making a model with fewer bones.
So after running into a bit of trouble with CG, I wrote a shader in GLSL, which at first had problems as well, but it turns out all I needed to do was upgrade my graphics drivers. Once I did that I got the shader to work, and its nice and fast.
I plan to have both shaders working well and will provide them with the next release.
Main features:
Exporting and file types:
- Custom file types used for meshes and animations.
- Meshes can be static, or deformable and bound to all or a subset of the skeleton.
- Animations use a skeletal hierarchy and local transformations for every bone at every frame.
Loading files:
- The library loads and caches animations and meshes by filename.
- Meshes are broken down into surfaces, which have a texture name, vertices, faces, and a pointer to user defined data.
- A callback function can be set that can load textures when the mesh is loaded, and set the user data for that surface.
- Models in animations can be moving, but when the model is loaded, the movement of the root bone is extracted and removed. This information is stored, and can be used to move the frame of the model at the speed the modeler intended or used to scale the speed of the animation.
Setup (initialize):
- A model is composed of several animations and swappable meshes, but can also contain blends and bone selection masks.
- Blends are used to calculate a pose, usually from two other poses.
- One type of blend is an animation player, which is used to keep track of the current time in the animation and can generate a skeletal pose at that time (between two frames).
- Another type of blend is a blend between blends. When this blend is calculated, it first calculates the two blends its blending, and then blends those together with a user-defined weight. Since this is a recursive definition, blends can in fact be setup in a hierarchy, and the user only needs to call the top level calculate function.
- A bone selection mask is a selection of a subset of the entire skeleton. The hierarchy is used to make the selection process simpler. Essentially, all bones are the same selection state as their parent, unless set directly.
- In addition to being able to calculate a pose from a complex system of blends, the calculate function can be given an optional bone selection mask, which limits the calculations done for that blend to only the subset of bones defined by the selection. This allows you to calculate different parts of a skeleton with different animations.
Drawing:
- The library doesnt actually draw the model, but provides all of the necessary information for your engine to draw the model.
- Data is prepared and organized for use in vertex shaders.
- A pose can be converted to a set of matrix world transformations. (Most shaders like the data like this)
- Examples are shown that actually draw the model.

Gif Assembler is a Web-based frontend for Gifsicle which allows users to create GIF animations from existing GIF images.
With Gif Assembler you can upload up to 99 GIF images as the frames for the animation.
Enhancements:
- Changes some syntax for better path detection, changes default optimisation, and adds an ImageMagick option.
- Minor bugfixes.

Asmail is a "mail-checker" like xbiff, but with the Afterstep look & feel. It indicates the status of your mailbox. It can be put in the Wharf, execute program on incoming mail, execute program on mouseclick, show animations and more...
The application is has an AfterStep look & feel, multiple e-mail mailboxes monitor for computers running X Windows.
This application reads the configuration file and launches as many threads as there are mailboxes defined. There is no limit on the number of mailboxes to watch. Each mailbox
is verified according to the timeout specified in the configuration file. The progress and the status of mailboxes are presented on the screen.
The application may present a summary of all mailboxes or each mailbox separately (as many as will fit into the picture). You can specify the XPM picture to use as the backdrop
animation for the status update.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes a problem where error printing output causes errno to be set to a different value.

Kickoff for CRUX is a little port of Kickoff for CRUX.
With a little Animation at the Menu-Button
Please install this with pkgmk or prt-get!
You can use the httpup File to checkout the whole Repository or get only Kickoff with:
httpup sync http://ecarux.de/ports#kickoff kickoff.
Please use the pre-install script to backup your normal kicker.
It is recommended to build kickoff for CRUX with the pkgutils, but for all people who have problems (maybe with autoconf etc. ) there is a precompiled binary package too.
It has now heavy optimisation, just generic i686.
Attention:
Kickoff will overwrite your normal Kicker.
So be careful!
Please use the pre-install script to backup your normal kicker.
Enhancements:
- Fixed some Problems with newer SVN Version (some patches ...)
- Add pre-install and post-remove scripts to backup and reinstall the normal kicker.
- New precompiled binary package (date 24.05.2007)

g3d Graphic Tools project consists of a XML file format and generic development tools for games.
The problem is that often as a games developer you need to work with many 3d editing tools and rendering engines, and there should be an easy and portable way to move objects, levels, etc. around.
By having a common intermediate file format, you only need to write one exporter per tool and one importer per graphics engine. Also, you can develop generic tools which are not tied to any particular engine.
Enhancements:
- Added the skeleton object (beginnings of animation ;)
- Added asset management info in the file header (ie date, time, author, source, description)
- Fixed exporter bugs (3dsmax) relating to heiarchy stuff
