[Gimp-developer] Help with new default resources in 2.8
Hi all, If you would like better default resources in GIMP, now is a great opportunity to do something about it. We want GIMP 2.8 to ship with a good set of default resources, but we need help from our artist community with this. Right now, we would like to do the following: * Add rake brushes * Add more bristle brushes * Add more realistic patterns from commonly used artistic media * Add more complex vector based brushes because of their good scaling properties * Add a selected subset of GIMP Paint Studio brushes and presets * Remove the outline squares * Convert small bitmap brushes to larger variants * Either create better example brushes of GIMP's capabilities, or keep existing ones * Make sure the new resources are properly tagged To see the current set of default resources, refer to the recently released GIMP 2.7.1 snapshot. If you have anything to contribute, please attach that to Bug 589371 - Improve default set of resources https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=589371 Whatever default set of resources we have when it is time to release 2.8 will be what 2.8 ships with, and we probably won't add more when 2.8 is released, so don't miss this chance! 2.8 is expected to be released at the end of 2010. Thanks in advance for your help.

[Gimp-developer] Help with new default resources in 2.8
You could contact David Revoy and see if he could help you with the brushes. He's a digital painter and concept artist who also uses open source tools in his workflow. I see him contributing to many open source painting programs (e.g. Krita, MyPaint), especially with brushes and similar resources. For example here's a freely available brush set he made for GIMP painter: http://www.davidrevoy.com/?article29/free-brush-kit-for-chaos-and-evolutions He's also the author of ChaosEvolutions DVD, a digital painting course using free/open source software. He should be a valuable addition if he agrees to help. Regards, Lamoot -- Matjaz L.

GIMP 2.x is a GTK+ 2.x application, GIMP 3.x will be a GTK+ 3.x application. We guarantee the same API and ABI compatibility for our plug-ins as GTK+ does, so we can't move to GTK+ 2.90 now. After GIMP 2.8 (which will use GTK+ 2.22) is out, we will move to GTK+ 3.x (and thus GIMP 3.x). Besides, why are you bulding GIMP against GTK+ git master anyway, GTK+ master is currently not good for anything but developing GTK+ 3.0 itself, and porting applications to it. You should stick with the gtk-2-22 branch if you want bleeding edge of the GTK+ you are used to. ciao, --mitch ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

I don´t know if this helps, but there is already the GIMP GPS resources and I heard about GIMP painter, you could check with their authors to use what they have made, They would love having their work on GIMP.

Thanks for the tip, but it would be a lot easier if the resources would come to us, rather then requiring us to hunt them down. That was kind of the point with the mail. Perhaps you could look through GPS resources, match them with what we want in the default setup, contact the GPS author, and if he okay it, attach these resources to the bug for inclusion in 2.8? / Martin -- My GIMP Blog: http://www.chromecode.com/ Automatic tab style and removed tab title bar ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
