Mayor_McSteeze Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 This tutorial is available as a PDF. Click here to view or download it Here's a simple water effect that I created a while back but have yet to post . Step 1. Make a new Canvas. I choose 450 X 150. But it's really up to you. Step 2. Render Clouds at the default settings. Step 3. Next, Render Clouds with the belnd mode set to difference 5-7 times. (Do Not Duplicate the Layer!) (Press Ctrl+F) Step 4. Invert the colors. (Ctrl+Shift+I) Step 5. Color with curves. (Feel free to mess around with this setting.) Step 6. Next run displacement close to the following settings. (Experiment, please.). Edit by EER: Displacement is a plugin - get it from this pack: MadJik's Plugin Pack (Feel free to mess with this to give you a better effect.) Step 7. (Optional) Duplicate your final result and run a zoom blur around 50 px, set the blend mode of the new blurred layer to lighten for a "Light Shining" through look. Estimated Time To Complete 5-10 Minutes. Final result! Hope you liked this tutorial. Feel free to post questions and results. Have fun!

uvah Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Looks like I'm the first to try this one. There are two. The 450x150 and a wall paper I made at 800x600. They turned out not too bad. The little guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry533482 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I thought of this exact same technique a few months ago while playing around with displacement. You beat me to making a tut. Grr. Anyway, here's my outcome (This is old; April-Mayish 2010): Makes me thirsty.

Eldest Burnt Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 That is pretty cool! Thanks for the tut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaceHeather Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) I'm making fantasy maps, and I have oceans that I'd like to give a sheen to, just over the surface - you know, a bit of wet reflection? Forum says I don't have permission to attach a .pdn to my post (wtf?), and the upload image dialog is being a pain, so at the moment I can't even give you an example of what I'm getting at. I don't want an object that has a reflection, I want the water itself... I think I have something I might be able to try but I'm not sure just yet. Any suggestions appreciated!

Ego Eram Reputo Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Forum says I don't have permission to attach a .pdn to my post ..., .pdn is Paint.NET's own internal format. It is not recognized by the forum host or by image hosting services. Save your image as a *.png or *.jpg and you should be fine to upload.

PeaceHeather Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) *facepalm* Yeah, I read that elsewhere right before I left for dinner, then when I came back I saw Sarkut had messaged me and you were kind enough to reply as well. Oy. ANYway... lessee here. Hopefully this will give you an idea of what I'm looking for. I had to shrink it pretty far to get it to upload, though. I *think* I know something I can try but I haven't had a chance yet to test it today. If it works I promise I'll tell you how I did it!

PeaceHeather Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Instead of curves, I used Effects > Color > Color Aberration, cropped the result to remove streaks around the edges, then added a third layer with an offset Drop Ripple. This is what I ended up with: Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Reaper Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 (edited) Nice Tut! I combined it with redfrog's glass text to get this: As u see it's acid, I recolored after I added glass text. Tut is also very useful to make lava! Edited May 7, 2011 by Mad Reaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moninca Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 (edited) Honestly, I have no clue how this happened, but I like it. I do know that there's a sepia layer set to Color Burn, somewhere in there. XD Thanks for the awesome tut! (I'm beginning to see a green theme in my stuff lately....)

LeeLaz2008 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 WHAT displacement?! There is no displacement effect, or anything like that! Please, explain! If it is a plug-in, which plug in would it be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 That plugin is a little difficult to find. Here's a link to the pack that contains it: MadJik's Plugin Pack <link added to first post in this thread> Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
