Can you please make it a .zip file? I try to download it, but my CPU is having trouble doing it.

It doesn't have any problems with the .zip file though.

I'd really appreciate it. ;)

This may be a silly question, but would this bevel plugin provide a line around a person in a picture? I have seen it done in some Photoshop manips, and am trying to figure out how it's done. If a rounded bevel is it, I can't wait to try it! :D

If you just want a regular solid line, you'd be better off using Pyrochild's Outline Object plugin.

 

The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.
Amy: But how did it end up in there?
The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.
River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him.

I just tried using that particular plugin, and nothing happened. I first took a picture, then used the lasso to highlight the selected area. It rendered but nothing changed in the picture. Then I made a design and highlighted the area with a different color, ran the plugin again, and nothing happened. I am using 3.10 version.

Whoops! I think I figured this out. If there is a transparent area showing around your image/object that you want highlighted, then this plugin will create around it. Is this how it works?

That's correct. Same with this plugin. :-)

(If you have any more questions about Outline Object, I'd suggest you ask them in that thread so we don't hijack this one. :-))

Sorry, got off on a tangent, seeing that you had some insight on the Outline Plugin. :wink:

Rounded bevel - beta 1.0 release.

Bevel-irregularshape.zip

3535_64dbb1a9da7f0da692b02af122242dca

Works well with small depth and single color (sort of a inner glow effect).

It of course works great with rectangular selection and circular selection with any colors.

I'm still trying to figure out how to blend the colors (so it transitions from highlight to shadow smoothly)

Also, anti-aliasing is another problem...

The code (pm if anybody would like to help)

int Amount1=7;	//[0,200]Depth
int Amount2=20;	//[0,100]Strength

System.Collections.ArrayList sin_arr = new System.Collections.ArrayList();
System.Collections.ArrayList cos_arr = new System.Collections.ArrayList();

void Render(Surface dst, Surface src, Rectangle rect)
{
   PdnRegion selectionRegion = EnvironmentParameters.GetSelection(src.Bounds);

   // Delete any of these lines you don't need
   Rectangle selection = this.EnvironmentParameters.GetSelection(src.Bounds).GetBoundsInt();

   long CenterX = (long)(((selection.Right - selection.Left) / 2)+selection.Left);
   long CenterY = (long)(((selection.Bottom - selection.Top) / 2)+selection.Top);
   int left = (int)selection.Left;
   int top = (int)selection.Top;
   int right = (int)selection.Right;
   int bottom = (int)selection.Bottom;
   ColorBgra PrimaryColor = (ColorBgra)EnvironmentParameters.PrimaryColor;
   ColorBgra SecondaryColor = (ColorBgra)EnvironmentParameters.SecondaryColor;
   int BrushWidth = (int)EnvironmentParameters.BrushWidth;

   ColorBgra CurrentPixel;

   if (cos_arr.Count == 0)
   {
   	for (int v = 0; v <= 360; v++)
   	{
   	    sin_arr.Add((float)Math.Sin((float)v * ((float)3.14159 / (float)180)));
   	    cos_arr.Add((float)Math.Cos((float)v * ((float)3.14159 / (float)180)));
   	}
   }

   for(int y = rect.Top; y < rect.Bottom; y++)
   {
       for (int x = rect.Left; x < rect.Right; x++)
       {
           if (selectionRegion.IsVisible(x, y))
           {
               CurrentPixel = src[x,y];
               //let's search for the nearest radius
               int prevX = -1;
               int prevY = -1;
               bool found = false;
               int max;
               float factor;
               for (int i = 1; i <= Amount1; i++)
               {
                   max = (int)Math.Ceiling((float)i * (float)3.14159) + 1;
                   factor = 360 / (float)max;
                   for (int m = 0; m <= max; m++)
                   {
                       int element = (int)Math.Floor(factor * (float)m);
                       int newX = (int)((float)cos_arr[element] * (float)i) + x;
                       int newY = (int)((float)sin_arr[element] * (float)i) + y;
                       if (newX != prevX || newY != prevY)

                           {
                               found = true;
                               if (element > 315 || element < 125)
                               {

I cant download the plugin, I get some error page saying forbidden or somethinng.

Use the source code on the 1st post and put it in codelab, then build you own dll.

Are you serious, I'm retarded when it comes to that stuff, heck, I'm retarded when it comes to most paint programs, but I use paint.net most of the time because its easyer then Gimp, PSP, Photoshop, Real Draw Pro (all of which I have).

Can someone just post a link please, I'm not very good at digging through forum pages or locating the right plug-in, half the time I end up downloading the wrong one.

[EDIT]

Ok I found the thread I think...I think I have all those plugsins already, but how to you make a bevel?

Thanks got it. Ansd I have that other guys plugins but what he posted must be an updated version because I dont have a bevel tool...anyway, I got the download in this thread, guess I'll go install it and see what happens.
