How do I draw a simple spline in GIMP? I see the Bezier tool, but not one for splines.
The path tool is what you'll have to use. It doesn't have an actual spline tool or function directly. You may be able to find a plugin for it, but i just took a quick look through the main gimp plugin sites, and couldn't find any scripts or plugins at all.
But from what i understand the path tool is your only option to use splines in GIMP
That's stupid, isn't a spline a very basic drawing tool? :( Bezier curves like the path tool are pretty useless in comparison.
yes, and GIMP fails when it comes to simplicity. It tries to match PS but leaves out important things.
Ack! I'm too advanced and professional to use GIMP, but I don't do enough graphic freelance work to warrant buying Photoshop. I hate being in the middle ground.
What type of spline are you trying to work with?
A B-spline. As far as I know B-splines are the only ones supported by any 2d graphics tools. Have you ever used anything other than a B-spline?
(In 2D, yes, I've used Akima and Hermite splines in 3D.)
no
:P
Have you considered Paint.NET? With enough plugins installed it's as powerful as GIMP.
Judging by the name, it runs on the .NET framework, which will make it slow, buggy, and boated. No thanks :P
LMAO, i read that as "Pain.NET"
ahaha
