20 MIN VIDEO TUTORIAL ABOUT THE CHAOS

I present here a long video tutorial done with 100% free and open sources softwares and showcasing one of original pictural technics: the chaos.

Time-lapse of a full digital painting illustration with Mypaint / Alchemy and Gimp on Linux. ( only free and open-source application compatible with other system too ; ex : Windows ).

It was recorded in august 2009 as a technology demo for the 2D open source industry, done with Blender Video sequence editor as well as VLC/Mencoder and (gtk)Recordmydesktop.

A large picture of the result ( not full resolution ) can be found under:

AMAZING !!!

On the other hand is there a .deb for Gimp Studio ?

And how to install Gimp Painter correctly in Ubuntu (with logo in the main menu (GNOME)?
A tutorial in a next post should be great to explain how.

So very glad to see a digital painter who use Linux and free software

Thanks Jolan ;
I don't have a .deb for "Gimp Studio" but I read it carefully and I really like what the author do.

To install Gimp-painter on Ubuntu, download the *.deb here :
http://sourceforge.jp/projects/gimp-painter/downloads/38305/gimp-painter-_2.6.6-20090321-1_i386.deb

Install it ; Gimp-painter should be installed in your /opt/gimp-painter-/ folder.
To run it you can execute this bin :
/opt/gimp-painter-/bin/gimp-2.6

But I prefer to create a symbolic link to the usr/bin folder like this :
sudo ln -s /opt/gimp-painter-/bin/gimp-2.6 /usr/bin/gimp-painter

After this symbolic link created ; you can launch Gimp-painter from a terminal with typing only gimp-painter. Edit the Ubuntu menu is easy with this new "gimp-painter" shortcut.
If I have time , I will try to dedicate a post to this with good screenshots, and clean little code box ;)

I tried to "compile" GimpPainter with a command that I found on the net but it didn't work

So I tried in Windows but it was very slow and very not attractive (lol)

Thank you for this tips. And glory to free softwares

Hi David, This is a great Tutorial.

I was wondering what program you use for the screen capture?

From David Revoy , 23 Mar. 2010 , 18:07

@RetoucheLibre & Koksi Monika: Thanks !

@Anthony: Thanks, I use the software recordmydesktop and gtkrecordmydesktop. Maybe I will do an article soon about.

From Tef , 08 Apr. 2010 , 21:19

Wouaaah !! Je suis impressioné David ! Comme souvent d'ailleurs par la qualité de tes illustrations. Ta vidéo est trèèèèèès enrichissante car j'apprends pleins de choses (et surtout tu m'as fait découvrir Alchemy qui est vraiment top !)

Bravo :)

From Yoyo , 12 Apr. 2010 , 18:10

¡Es muy buena, este pintura! Te agradezco mucho :-)

From riptyde , 02 Mai. 2010 , 15:21

David, Excellent work...I love your style.

I don't remember where it was, but I thought I had read a reply by you stating you still had the full length, unedited, real time footage of this painting. Is that true? If so do you have a link to download it? I'm learning digital painting and I would really like to watch someone paint in real time.

Thanks

Riptyde

Yéhéééééé

Belle leçon humilité. J'avais portant comment la journée en me disant que j'allais peintre et finalement il est 16h et j'en est pris plein les mirettes. Je reste sans voix devant tant de maitrise "carac design+creature+lanscapes+inovation= DR ;-)
Est le plus génial dans tout ça c'est que tu le fait avec des logiciels libres de droits. ça donne envie de jeter photoshop et de foncer vers cette voie que tu nous ouvert.
à Toi l'explorateur numérique

MERCI

Naran
