Title: Rotating bits of pictures in GIMP
Post by: Jonathan on June 22, 2008, 05:19:19 AM
I managed to create a single lane 90 corner road:

I read how to do this in Diggis's SAM texture creation tutorial
there's a lot of rotating involved, and I was wondering if I could automatically get GIMP to rotate the "slit" of road say 10 degrees (I can't remember what it is at all) from the previous rotation say 10 times.

Like in gmax (for those that BAT) when you clone something you have the option to clone it more than once.

Sorry if this is not the correct place to ask this.
Please say if you don't understand what I'm trying to do.

Well perhaps in Photoshop, recording it as an Action (sort-off Macro), would do that job. I'm not sure if the GIMP supports Macro's tho

I had though of that, but unfortunately GIMP doesn't support them.
What I'm trying to now do is create a 6x6 avenue roundabout texture.

well, if you do it right after the original action you should be able to use command Re-Do. AS far as I know all the programs have it... It should be right there where undo is...
