I tried to get a nice overall spreading and tried to familiarize myself with the parameters, but the plugin keeps crashing after a while

I'm trying to create a seamless texture that sort of resembles a force field. It is supposed to be almost completely transparent and should have sort of a "reflective impression".
Something like this:
Or this in more translucent and not animated:

More along the lines of this http://www.interlopers.net/images/hl2tutorials/combine_gate/combine_gate8.jpg
It's hard to describe (and may be the reason why I haven't found anything). I hope the example images make it clear.
How can I create such a texture in paint.net?
Thanks in advance

Following situation:
I have a bunch of pdns (12 atm) which have a set of layers. Basically it's a texture set (it contains team colors and effects like ao overlays). Now what I have to do is take specific layers, merge them, and export them (with a specific name based on the combination of layers used). It's about five combinations per pdn, meaning I end up creating 60 textures. (There might be more depending on the amounts of assets I will create at some point.) So it is some tedious amount of work.
I know there are filetype plugins and effects plugins. Does this fall under the scope of filetype plugins or is what I want to do not possible?
Or other than that, is there a better solution to my problem? Like batch processing or something?
Thanks for your time and help
