Hi @unicron,

Than,ks a lot for this idea very useful. I have one question: I am on Linux mint and I have ImageMagic (with UI too) but how can I create this Windows’kind convert.exe execute file.
I can make a bash-script and make executable but what is the content of this convert.exe, please?
At soon.
Thks for your reply.

Thanks,

In linux you do not need windows executable (convert.exe) and UI tools! I used ImageMagick as it is cross-platform tool.

How to use in linux:

  • Redownload Quick Blendshots addon (new version 0.8.6)
  • Install ImageMagick (from sources or binary package) if not installed
  • Reconfig path to convert tool in addon (View3D -> Properties panel -> Quick Blendshots -> GIF Tool -> ImageMagick (convert))
  • Try set path property as ‘convert’ (without quotes) instead of ‘{blender}/convert.exe’

I’m sorry for double post.

Hey unicron,
This looks like a super cool addon! Been eyeing it for a while now, but been busy and just didn’t have the time to try it out.

As you’ve noticed I make quite a bit of GIFs for sculpts timelapses. Looking forward to GIF it a spin :slight_smile:
