Having trouble finding inspiration? This plugin will help you take the first step towards creating that new 100% PdN masterpiece!
What does it do? It chooses a random plugin (or built-in effect), and randomizes the settings, to create a truly unique work of art.

Here's a game based on Random Effect: The Random Effect Image Game

Effects > Random Effect...

Amazing... your creativity for plugins amazes me man... :shock:

[toe_head2001]

LOL

[Yipppiyo]

Does this plugin choose any random effect that has been installed onto your Paint.net or any random effect throughout Paint.net (like the ones you haven't downloaded before)

[pyrochild]

It has to be installed

[Yipppiyo]

'kay, thanks.

[brandon.roeder]

umm

I did a random effect, and it closed paint.net.

wierd..lol

[pyrochild]

Did it crash it, is there a crash log, or did it just close it? If the latter, do you happen to have a plugin called "close paint.net" installed?

[brandon.roeder]

Nope, no crash log.
Didnt even ask me to save my awesome completely random picture
It just closed

haha, I dont think I have a plugin like that, unless you secretly included one in your plugin pack!!!!!!!


Justtttt Kidddding

[pyrochild]

Weird. Really weird. I'll look into it.

[Mike Ryan]

Yes, I could have sworn you added error handling to this along the way...?

[barkbark00]

Any way to make CTRL+F run a different effect randomly?

[D3z]

I like this, but is it possible to make it a little less random to suite your current needs (e.g a random effect from the render menu or the distort menu depending on what you want to do with the picture)?

[MiguelPereira]

Any way to make CTRL+F run a different effect randomly?

I think this is what you want.

[barkbark00]

This part?

Random Effect is amusing; it would be more so if a new effect were selected for every (Ctrl) + F. (I have a strong suspicion that this is impossible... oh well.

I remember I started out with that intention, and had to abandon it for some reason. Can't remember what that reason was, though. I'll look into it again.

Thanks.

[MiguelPereira]

Yes that part , no problem mate.

[pyrochild]

Merry Christmas, everyone, have an update.
viewtopic.php?f=16&t=21706

Random Effect 1.2:
-Randomize Effect and Randomize Settings buttons added. Now you can have it randomly choose another effect, or just change the settings on the one it already picked.
-Opacity increased. I was having trouble reading it.
-No longer recenters itself every time a new effect is chosen. That was annoying.

[pyrochild]

Updated for Paint.NET v3.5.

[Wilson]

So useful when I can't think what effect to apply to an image. Thanks a lot, pyrochild.

  For some reason this crashes sometimes, always with the same error message, I don't know if there's a problem with this and Olden, but it seems like it since Olden runs just fine
