007 Nab Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 haha - that's awesome - I hadn't thought of using conditional hue/saturation like that -- very cool!

-Expiration- Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Just one question. Couldn't the red (or any color) Drop Shadow thing be created with the Object Outline plugin set at a -90 degree angle? It just seems it would be easier that way. Quote Call me expired. Please.

Ash Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 Thanks for the comment guys @-Expiration-: Yes, it can. PDN have many plugins that can do the same thing. I just don't like how it handles the AA. But yes, it is much faster (less steps).

Max Power Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Thanks for the comment guys @-Expiration-: Yes, it can. PDN have many plugins that can do the same thing. I just don't like how it handles the AA. But yes, it is much faster (less steps). Softness = 244, thats almost AA=5 I never thaught of using conditional saturation, that's great Quote - My Gallery | My Deviant - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 @MiguelPereira: lol thanks @Max Power: I've tried every setting, but just doesn't look quite right to me. Just like AA, basic AA, Feather...and I like how Feather's look more. But sometimes in some cases I will still use the other. But it doesn't matter. The more method one knows, the better The main trick in this tut is the conditional hue/saturation. You can even draw with the line tools and fill with color and get the same result :idea: Quote All creations Ash + Paint.NET [ Googlepage | deviantArt | Club PDN | PDN Fan ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vista? Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I like this tut - simple yet such a good effect. Remember when you were accused of being a bot? Well, what surprises me is how a bot could have so much talent on PDN! :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrettyDarnNeat Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Another thought provoking guide Ash. Here's mine with a few adjustments. Thanks. One question. On the idea of using "Outline", I have two outlines, one under "effect >outline object" - and another "effects > object > outline", I have even gone to the link you provide for "outline" and downloaded it again. It is the same as "effects > outline object" and I do have 3.30, and NONE of these outlines offer a color wheel mentioned in the thread, NOR a way of setting the angle to -90 as suggested in this tut thread. Really confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Good job. "Thought provoking"...That's what I try to do Glad it worked. Outline by BB viewtopic.php?f=16&t=22819 Outline Object by pyro viewtopic.php?f=16&t=21706 Of these 2 plugins Only pyro's Outline object will work with this tut. Besides Drop shadow, that is. You might need to update to the latest version too see the options.
