    We honestly should rename GIMP. It’s a bad name. I think a new and better acronym would substantially improve brand recognition. Something like:

    Free Utility for Creative Kits, Brushes, Overlays, & Imaging

    FUCKBOI










  • That wholly depends on what and how you’re animating. 2D animations with something like a CSS based animation software only require basically anything with a CPU. Simple 3D animations, like source engine, usually require either decent integrated graphics or a dedicated GPU. Complex 3D animations, like some of the stuff you can do with Blender, require at least 8ish GB of vram and a decent GPU. Then if you want to generate animations with AI, you’ll need at the bare minimum something like a 3090 (and a lack of ethics).

    The VRAM is technically the only limiting factor in most cases, because you can only render what fits into it. The power of your GPU doesn’t really matter as to what you can render, just how fast you can render it. Within reason, of course. A thirty year old GPU isn’t going to be able to render things that rely on modern graphics APIs.

    Most software also lets you render with a CPU, which just takes longer. So even a GPU isn’t strictly necessary. Just necessary if you don’t want to spend days rendering.

    Since we have had houses with multiple rooms it has certainly made sense to shout “where are you?”

    Scratch that. Since there were opaque things larger than a human that could be positioned in between two humans (rock, tree, bush, animal) it has made sense.

    Scratch that. Since there was dark it has made sense.
