    This is pretty neat @NSD!  Selecting the Polygon and playing with the 'Tens and 'Arc' gives you limitless shapes.

    Maybe a little more information about these two selections would be  beneficial for everyone.  I simply played with them to see what they do.

    Thank you for coding this.  ☺️

    they don't have a flag so you have to go out to the mailbox & open it to see if you have mail

     

    The flag in the 'up' position indicates to the mailman that you have letters inside that you want him to take to the post office. (cos you were too lazy to go...)

    At least, that's what I was told.  😊

    Creating a metal pole?

    1. You can see there is some white pixels around the border in some areas. how do I get rid of them?

     

    At the bottom of the Texture Shader plugin UI, check Anti-Aliasing, maybe bumping it up to 6.

    After you're done, it doesn't hurt to run AA (Effects-->Object-->AA's Assistant.

     

    Creating a metal pole?

    I'm not understanding the three lines on the pole either.  I did this quickly using @Pixey's example.

    I rotated 90 degrees, ran Texture Object Rounder, then I ran Texture Smoother at 70, then I rotated back.

    Ran Texture Shader with @Hodor's texture and came up with this:

    If I did not use Texture Smoother, I didn't have any lines on the rod, but did have a few on the ball.  Puzzled...

     

    How to work with the Paint Bucket?

    in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions

    Posted

    Hi @Re42 and welcome.  I'm going to assume that your canvas is transparent with your png somewhere inside.

    Click on the transparent area with the wand, then select the paint bucket and fill area with chosen color.

    You could also create a new transparent layer and place it underneath the layer that contains your png and simply fill the new layer with chosen color.

     

    If your png does not have any transparency, you'll have to erase the areas you don't want, then follow the above steps.

    Hope this helps... ☺️
