SVGBuild is an open source Python script originally created by Ed Halley. Source code is available for download from here http://halley.cc/code/?python/svgbuild.py.
Python2, Inkscape, and ImageMagick are needed to run that script. FFmpeg, avconv or similar tools could be used to create videos as final result.
This repository is modified version of the original one. I made some improvements such as removing external ImageMagick dependency, add several new options, optimize performance, etc.
Web app version also available here https://fpermana.id/svg-build.

Options available via
main.py -h
docker build . -t svgbuild
docker run -itd --name svgbuild -v $(pwd)/svgs:/svgbuild-py3/svgs svgbuild
docker exec -it svgbuild sh
Below are several results with different options

SVGBuild also available as desktop app that run on Linux and Windows here https://github.com/fpermana/SVGBuild-GUI. It requires PyQt4 to run the script.
