skull - great minds think alike the more the merrier

Nothing Compares to your work - Red You and me both brother. This ones pure "feel" thats why I called it a doodler.

Red, The code traces the current color under the cursor in a anticlockwise fashion and deposits pixels along the edge until it creates a closed polygon, "Pen size" is used to control unwanted spillage. "Detail" - expands or limits the definition of the color being traced. That's the easy part - how to control it is pure Zen.The right combination for the intended effect is pure intuition.This is why I felt that Undo's were needed. After a \while you get a "feel" for what to do next to make the art.

Thanks Seerose and pdnnoob Here's a video on how Wilkommen (and Autumn) were created http://youtu.be/fC9ivyWHpiw

dug, Barbie, and Skull - Thank You for your kind words, it makes it all worth it.

I got it done and tested faster than I thought: Version 1.2 - 16 Levels of Undo!!!!!! This is a you tube video on how i created the Mona Lina image below. I've included lots of comments If it needs more or you have any other questions feel free to ask. Best viewed ant Youtube in 1080p

To ALL, First - thanks Second - Oceana and DrewDale got me thinking so I added an "undo" to the plugin. If you make a mistake click undo and the last portion drawn gets erased. so far only one level of undo. Created using transparent check-box. gradient layer as background and intermediate gaussian blur layer

Oceana, Helen andBarbie - Thanks!! Drew - I used DistortThis!(perspective mode) and Colorizer HMS. Welsh - I got it....

Oceana, Perhaps. That sounds like a good Idea. Skull ,Thank You

New Plugin - New Image

I find MSDN (Microsoft Developers Network) indispensible: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/kx37x362.aspx

Version 1.2 adds edge clipping for larger brush size (200 pixels)

I guess it's relevant now Version 1.1 Uploaded - works correctly with Alpha Cahnnel This image took 20 minutes I guess at this point it's best to explain: How It Works The plugin is a photographic realization of a digital lowpass audio filter. In Laymen's terms - its a buffer that resists change. As you move the buffer over the image it collects a certain percentage of the image from the buffer's location and blends it into the buffer.Then the program deposits the content of the buffer. Elements of the background are therefore,dragged along into other areas of the background.

your absolutely right it was not intended to work with alpha. its basically turns your image into a fingerpainting canvas

Where can I find documentation for the OptionBasedLibrary

Everyone should be downloading this plugin! Every time I start a render it's like opening a present. Guess Who?

Rotate/Zoom should do it if you start with all the characters over lapped and aligned on the lower half of seprate layers. That way you can avoid freaky distortion.

They're Great!!!!
