This tutorial can also be downloaded at deviantart

1.Open your Image you wish to use sig or what ever
2.Now Duplicate your layer
3.On your duplicated layer use the radial blur that can be found herehttp://www.gimptalk.com/topic.php?a=v&t=919&f=9 I used 20 Blur and 40 feather but you can also adjust to your taste
4.Go to filters and select animation and then select optimize for gif

5. Leave your blured layer at 100ms and set the bottom layer to 300ms or 400ms go with what you like best
6.Here is a tip if you look at my blue and white sig notice the darker blur around the edges and now look at my Steeler sig notice the yellow blur around the edges I used a 3pix border on the blue sig and a 1pix border on the Steeler sig make sure you border is on the outside of your sig not the inside but as you can see the thicker your border the better the effect is

awsome! im going to use it right now

all the links are broken

my turn out:

Not bad but you may want to add more blur so it will give a nice bounce effect.But thats just my opinion :h:

I got you until you hafta select the blurred layer to 300ms how do you do that

see the picture I have posted up above and where it shows the layer right click and a new menu will show slect edit layer attributes and change the 100ms to 300 ms

Oh I didnt know that did anything besides change the name thanks. Pretty good tut btw

It didn't turn out right, I can't find the problem.



Do any of you know?

You should select your text then feather the edges slightly. Then invert the selection a do a radial blur or whatever.

NC

I am an idiot : I am sorry guys the background should be at 300ms not the blured layer I will fix tut you dont need to feather edges just leave setting on radial blur as is but you can adjust to taste

On the radial blur script put the top lever most of the way to the left I think

Where do you save the radial blur script at? I havent used it yet and it look s almost the same. I got a picture then duplicated it and used the Gassian blur and just hit animation.

put them here c:\\program files\\gimp\\share\\scripts

Thanx but, i think i got it without the radial blur script. Well close to it anyway. I got an imgae, duplicated it, went to Blurs>motion Blurs then set it to 1 then saved it and i got this.

that dont look to bad nice work

Ty, but this one i did.....didnt come out to well. There are spects on it. How do you open that radial blur scirpt and use it? I saved it there but, its ot i Scirpt Fu.

Here is that sig.

How much blur and everything did you use?

Well i got the Radial Scirpt Working. I had to refesh the scripts. Here is what i got.

:s: to tell you the truth I dont remember I just played with it until I got a look I liked .But I will give it another go and post later tonight or tomorow
...........................
Edit i think it was around 20 blur and 40 feather
also make sure you have a border

So....i see you edited the tutorial but, how do oyu get a thick outside border? I only know how to do the inside one.

goto script fu decor then add border
and here is what else I use go here http://www.gimptalk.com/topic.php?a=v&t=365&f=2 :h:

Nice tut. I used it to make my avatar.

Very nice tut, I made a signature already.
And a steelers fan, I live around pittsburgh

Thanks I am glad you like the tut.And lets hope for another good year for the Steelers :l:

Okay heres the original pic


and heres blured



I cant get it to bump

I don't know if this helps but

after you optimize for gif go to filters animation and hit play if you like what you see save as gif

okay did it watched it and it worked then saved as gif and how do I make it bump on this site?
