class=”article first_main_article” readability=”40″>It is gratifying

occasionally receive emails from people as Angel Sanchez , a young Valencian developer wrote me this morning to tell me that published Steampac 3D , a videogame based on the legendary Angel Pacman but that he wanted to give a twist to the magic of 3D views for which Blender and GIMP has been used extensively .

 steampac 0 500x298 Steampac 3d blender 3D, a game made here and made with Blender and GIMP

As I explained

this programmer in the mail,

Despite its apparent simplicity, the merit is the use of Blender 2.63, not only in their production process, but also as a game engine. The challenge I set was to see if a game “apparently” simple as it could be done using only the system of Blender Logic Blocks.

Indeed, except for a couple of lines of code in Python, all programming is carried out by the module Blender game development and their “logic bricks”. Also, for editing images and textures has been used as a tool GIMP.

the original post on the blog of Angel are many more details about a game that certainly is cured in every detail and that you can learn all the details. The game has been released under GPLv2 license and is available from SourceForge in both Linux and Windows, with the intention of having it available soon on OS X.

I’ve already tried the new Ubuntu 12.10 Beta 2 and works seamlessly , but before you can run it I had to install a package (‘ sudo apt-get install libsdl1. 2debian ‘, without the quotes), after which everything perfect. No doubt an exemplary effort of this Spanish programmer who as you can see on your blog is an expert in handling Blender.

We leave with the video in which you can see in action this unique development Our sincere congratulations for this project!

If we look back we can see that we started talking about GIMP 2.8 in September 2009. Two and half years after many, many, many articles on future performance and features, and “odd” delay, we finally conclude that now available the final version of GIMP 2.8 .

 gimp end August 2 500x342 It's time: GIMP 2.8, available

application source code is available since yesterday on the FTP site project officer, but so far the project leaders have not said anything about this particular event, which certainly deserves launch with fanfare .

is in GIMP 2.8 are many improvements , on which stands out especially the famous single-window mode (which is optional, care, continue to have access to the traditional interface of the application).

Moreover

this image editing program comes with many new features like the text editing directly on the “canvas” , multi-column dock windows, a new set of brushes and many other improvements.

WebUpd8 among others, where we recall that the release notes for GIMP 2.7 (development version 2.8) can serve as a reference point until they leave notes in the final version . And you know, if you can download the source code from the official FTP project to compile. For you to be users of Ubuntu, GIMP you can enjoy a PPA that provides access-moment-to GIMP 2.8 RC1, as explained in the article WebUpd8.
