Here is a tutorial by a member @yellowman that may be of help. Whilst it was done in an older version of Paint.net, I think all the Plugins are still the same:
Hi, thanks for the replies
I did try to follow that video tut but got totally lost TBH. I much prefer written ones now

Trying to create a dedication plaque for a game. How would I create the raised cast text as seen in this sample... I have tried to use object bevel but seem to get weird artefacts as if anti-alias isn't applied, I've also played with drop shadow effect which helps but... Any better suggestions?

This looks similar.
Effects > Render > Clouds
Effects > Stylize > Emboss
Looks perfect and all with in built tools
Thank you I take it I have to split my image into two layers as above, run those effects on each layer and set the opacity to above then merge when I save again?
-
Hi- I would like to do the same type of effect as in the attached picture. I have looked at dents and clouds etc... as per some very old tutorials but nothing quite works. I have already made the basic arms but would like to achieve this if possible.

Just curious, how many plugins are too many?
I used to have almost 1000 with versions 2 and 3, slowed things down no end and the odd crash/ unexpected close. Now I seem to manage on a svelte 54 at the moment- much much better

Was the double posting an attempt to bump the question by any chance? Even if they were 3 minutes apart...
No- it was a lack of a delete post issue.

How do you load an image as a background to guide you? Seems to be only colours and clipboard on the popup menu.
-
Looks interesting, but cant seem to load the shield as a background image, so nothing to guide me unfortunately so maybe not in this case. I know paint.net is fairly good but basic, so if need be I can find another tool to do this part of the job if nothing else turns up.
-
Rotate text should work. Do it in chunks of three or four consecutive characters. Each chunk to their own layer. Add new layer, add the next few characters....
I don't actually use that plugin, it spits up an error about a commercial font I don't have installed and there doesn't seem to be a way to set it to another font so I got rid.
-
I think layers might be your best friend here. If you write the text mostly likely one letter at a time on separate layers, then you can fine tune their placement & merge them down.
Others may have a different idea. Good luck & please do post your complete outcome.
Hi- Hmmm...
If no other (easier) method this could work

@dpy has a number of text formation plugins in that plugin pack. Circle text is only one of them. Try Rotate Text or Wave Text to see if these will get closer to the desired shape.
Hi- Did have a look at those as well a while back, again not what I want unfortunately. Is there a plugin that text will follow a path a bit like the tool in 3DS max?

Good morning all! First post here so please be gentle
I am trying to place some text in the banner area as per the escutcheon shape below (Second Air Force) but can't seem to get the right tool for the job. I have tried circle text mostly but that doesn't place the text in the correct path as required.
Any suggestions as to what tool(s) I could use?

Apart from the duplicate layer (which does help) I get much the same as this, which is better. What font did you use BTW?
