Spirals Effect Plugin

What's this?

This plugin is added to the menu Effects, submenu Render.

You should use it to create/add spirals to your images.

And so it's a simple spiral plugin.

I want to add more type of curve (later?) like the Cornu's spiral (thanks OMA for the link)...

 

For better performances the spiral is drawn with lines from point to point to avoid ruptures.

You could choice the quantity of points and play with the other sliders to have angular or rounded spiral.

The spirals use the primary and/or the secondary colors and the brushwidth as default.

 

 

Download it!

Plugin Spiral.dll

...and another level of transparency.

Set the width of the lines to draw.

Thanks Madjik, this seems useful.

Although Mike said "previous versions", this is the first time I saw it.

Thank you very much for your opinion. To produce these textures takes a lot of time for me, but somehow after the first frustration and the erasing of the attempts comes the calm and the playfulness. It's really fun!

I've just checked both links in the first post. The DLL link dowloaded as expected. Check your Downloads folder for a file named Spirals.zip.

Nope, not working for me either. Nothing in the downloads folder. 

EDIT: I was using Chrome & it would not work no matter what.

Changed to Microsoft Edge & yep, it worked. Saved the .zip to the desktop, extracted it & copied & pasted the .dll into the Program Files -> Paint.NET -> Effects folder.

 

There you go. Another plugin for me to play with :D

It does work - change web browser.
