I've been using Paint.Net for quite some time, and I've been using some of the great plugins developed here, so I figured I would share mine with you.

It's just a simple toon shader, it's based on code used in basic DirectX toon shaders.. So it's a different effect than the "Toon" shader I found on here awhile back..

Note: I have added a .zip file for those who don't wish to use Winrar\7-zip.. So don't mind the different downloads, they are both the same plugin just using different file types..

You're free to distribute your plugins in any format you want, but keep in mind that most users are far more familiar with ZIP files than RARs, and you'll end up with a lot less "how do I..." questions.

Here is a larger picture, that has been edited a bit, to demonstrate what you can do with the plugin...

I applied the toon shader, added noise, used a slight "average blur", then adjusted the brightness\contrast, and colors just a bit.. It gives the pic a painted portrait vibe..

Thanks, glad you like it.. :)

Anyways, yeah, I've found with just a little tweaking, you can make some very nice toon shaded\vexel\portrait looking art with it..

Adding a bit of blur really gives it that smooth look, like vexel.. Adding some noise in you can get that painted look, etc,..
