I can verify this. I recently started making a map with this technique, and this worked for me. Everything else is right when it comes to animated brushes, just use Export instead of Save.

I did run into another unfortunate problem on the new version of gimp. When saving a brush as .gbr (which the author recommends for houses), only the top layer of the brush will be saved. So it's probably a better choice just to save them as .gih, or save each individual building as separate brushes.

Anyway, very helpful tutorial. I'll be posting my map once it's all finished.
