Create rotating brushes with Gimp/Script-Fu

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

The purpose of this script was to aid creating “rotating” brushes with Gimp. I often use them to create “stamp” brushes (e.g. grunge brushes) without every stamp looking the same. But the script of course can also be to create real rotating brushes like clocks, arrows, logos, whatever. And, yes, you also can create rotating GIFs very easily this way. Just save as a *.gif.

Linux: Change volume using multimedia keys

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

Fortgeschrittenen Praktikum/Advanced Lab Course

Friday, March 21st, 2008

Hier sind einige Ausarbeitungen die wir im Rahmen des Fortgeschrittenen Praktikums (”FoPra”) 2006/2007 an der Technischen Universität München (TUM) verfasst haben. Ich gebe keine Garantie, dass dort alles richtig ist. Ziemlich sicher sind dort einige Fehler – wir wussten es wahrscheindlich zu diesem Zeitpunkt nicht besser.

Vielleicht kann ja der ein oder andere damit etwas anfangen. Viel Spass!

These are some reports for the advanced lab course 2006/2007 at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). I don’t promise that there are no mistakes. Actually there are mistakes for sure, but we didn’t know better at this time.

Maybe someone can use these reports. Have fun!
