In case it helps, what I want to make mainly involves moving gears. I created the gears in Inkscape, imported them into the GIMP, then created PNGs, rotating 3? for each one. I made an animated GIF in the GIMP using the layers method, but like I said, it loaded slowly the first time. Adding interacting gears to the mix would make it even worse. Thanks.
