As another poster mentioned, an image pipe brush might do what you want. The trick is, to get the brush to "follow" the path and rotate appropriately.
This is doable, but due to the limitations of the number of images you can have in a pipe, the available increment of rotation may not be enough for your purposes. Nevertheless, below is a link to a tutorial I wrote sometime back on how to make such "rotating" image pipe brushes using GAP. You might try it ad see if it gives you what you are after. http://www.gimptalk.com/forum/topic/Making-gih-Gimp-Image-Hose-Brushes-in-GAP-21594-1.html --- On Sun, 10/19/08, Peter Saffrey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: Peter Saffrey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [Gimp-user] Text-in-stitches on GIMP > To: gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu > Date: Sunday, October 19, 2008, 1:17 PM > I'm a fairly new GIMP user.
