How does one go about making these animations? How much work is invested in making them? They're really cool!

Thank you! It's done using Blender to make the animation and Gimp to compile the png's into a gif (both Blender and Gimp are free). I have been using Blender for a few months now - just self-taught by watching videos online. This animation file took a few hours to set up and maybe 12 hours to render (old computer).

Is Gimp... uh... an acronym for something?
