ninja Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 This tutorial is available as a PDF. Click here to view or download it exploding planet I know there are like 2 others tutorials about how to do a exploding planet but i thought this one was quite different and is made in a very different way. This is my first tutorial Plugins needed: Fire!, noise, zoom blur and hue/saturation 1. Fill canvas with black 2. Add noise – settings: 100, 20 , 0.40 3. New layer 4. Shift + ellipse tool, make a circle as big as a tennis ball. 5. Use the paint brush (colour – green) make islands (the islands are for the rocks that are being thrown away) 6. Deselect 7. Zoom blur (88) 8. Fire! settings to your likings or you can do 951,0.67 and 27 9. New layer 10. Make the planet layer visible (but not selected) paint inside of the planet outline the rocks keeping a bit away from actually touching them. 11. Zoom blur (100 then repeat so it's 200) 12. Fire! (at the same settings when you made the rocks) 13. Hue/saturation make it any colour (blue is what I choose) and play about with the saturation and the lightness 14. Zoom blur (about 20) 15. Make all layers visible and move the exploding planet to a location in which you are satisfied with Finished product - If you found settings which make the planet look really good or the explosion really good please post them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisco97 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 It has a cool effect, but I like the other tut better. (No offense) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninja Posted April 10, 2010 Author Share Posted April 10, 2010 (edited) It has a cool effect, but I like the other tut better. (No offense) i dont mind, but could you give a contructive critisism - this could of been this colour, this could of been lighter also im quite new to paint.net so you cant expect some amazing stuff from me.

chrisco97 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 (edited) It is a nice tutorial , but I like the old one more. I will try this out, and give you my result. Edit: I will tell you this, it needs to have more shell around it, if you know what I mean. It just looks like an explosion with some rocks around it. As on the other one, it looks like a planet about to corrupt. However, this one is nice because it is 100% Paint.NET, so I give you points for that.

Axle Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 this planet looks very explosive if you catch my drift ... *waits for laughs* ... ... ... its actually a really nice tutorial maybe a little blending or something might make it fit a little better but its still a great tut, just as good as the other exploding planets tut but provides a different effect, Quote My Deviant Art | My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbieq25 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Maybe there needs to be more broken bits of the planet, as already mentioned but also some smaller bits further out. Perhaps more "arms" of the explosion? Pretty good tute & a great jump off point. Well done! Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.

ninja Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 (edited) Boo..., why did you do that pyrochild?? i mean why is that illegal? is there a rule that says that you are not allowed to post links for plugins that you can download on any webs accept from paint.net website? im gonna check the rules Edited May 2, 2010 by ninja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrochild Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 is there a rule that says that you are not allowed to post links for plugins that you can download on any webs accept from paint.net website? im gonna check the rules Yes. The "rules" that were being violated are called intellectual property laws. Basically, we plugin authors don't like it when other people steal our stuff and give it away without our permission.

ninja Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 Yes. The "rules" that were being violated are called intellectual property laws. Basically, we plugin authors don't like it when other people steal our stuff and give it away without our permission. So the if a website didnt get your permission and if someone gave a link to that website you will take the link away. I think that theres nothing wrong with that it makes it easier for every1 to download plugins. I'd say you should just copy their idea of plugin packs.
