374 CHAPTER 9 ADVANCED DRAWING Figure 9-45. Drawing with the animated grass brush Importing Animated Brushes The GIMP can also import animated brushes from certain other programs. Paintshop Pro calls them tubes and uses the .tub extension. Convert them to GIMP animated brushes by opening the .tub file as an image, and then saving as GIH. For other programs, you may be able to find plug-ins or external programs to convert a brush to GIMP s GIH format. Note You ll sometimes see the term image hose to refer to animated brushes, especially in the Paintshop Pro world. The idea is that the brush is a hose that sprays out a stream of constantly changing images. Pipes (as in GIMP s dialog) and tubes are other ways of referring to animated brushes. Making Patterns You ve probably used some of the GIMP s built-in patterns by now. But you can get a pattern from anywhere. For instance, what if you want a pattern made from ocean waves (Figure 9-46)? Figure 9-46. Ocean waves to make into a pattern
