You two crack me up. I find it hard to believe that you're an Atheist, welshy. I'd believe it more if you could spell it correctly.

The theme of this week's comp has been changed to 'Religious Symbolism'. This way everyone can participate if they choose. I saw the topic as a celebration of one's beliefs, not a desecration. I'm sorry if anyone was offended.

Nice work @Joshua Lamusga Love your 'grass'!

Congratulations to all the winners!! I will pick a name from the 'proverbial' hat since we had a three-way tie and PM the winner. EDIT: My son pulled @xod's name, so I will PM him and see if he wants to choose the next theme.

@dipstick Love how the light 'rolls' off the gears as they turn! Great job! ☺️

That's what I do. I type in the blending mode, opacity and every plugin with the settings for that particular layer. And save as .pdn.

Thanks for that @welshblue I'm not pulling your entries because I should have caught it. I did have 2 weeks to realize your entries were a little too big. I will be more diligent next time.

Congrats to everyone! All the helmets were amazing!

The Poll is now open for ‘Autumn-Inspired'. It will be closed on Saturday, November 10th, 2018 - 2 pm EST and 7 pm UK time. World Clock. Thank you, everyone, for your beautiful entries. May the best win!

Hi Marilynx. For future reference, just turn down the speed under the gear wheel so you can follow better. That's what I do.

It took me a while to get the hang of ShapeMaker. I've been with it since it's inception. I'm glad my Mini Tut was helpful to you.

Very impressive pack @mmmbac0n I work with 'blueprints' every day and am familiar with the symbols. Great work!

@Rick Brewster, I've been testing this for about 2 hours, doing the exact same thing I was over the weekend. NO CRASHES! I am super-impressed with the loading time....it's almost instantaneous! I have over 550 plugins installed. I will report if anything happens....so far, so good.

Hi @chi77 ?

Now, this would have been the perfect sketch to open your Gallery thread with @Maximilian. I haven't nagged you in a good while about that... ?

Geez @Maximilian he is gruesome! ? Beautiful sketch.

I wasn't aware that version 1809 had been fixed and re-released. I think not. Here's the latest info: https://www.groovypost.com/news/microsoft-closer-to-re-releasing-windows-10-1809-kb4464455/ If you downloaded and installed version 1809, it wasn't from Microsoft. They pulled that release early this month and are working on fixing it. EDIT: Though some people did not experience any problems.

@Seerose What a beautiful array of pumpkins! Just lovely! Thank you, @LionsDragon ?

I'm glad you're aware of this @Rick Brewster I was going to post my crash logs after I saw this thread from @AndrewDavid I crashed 3 times this weekend after updating to 4.1.3 and I was doing something completely different. I lost all my work, but thankfully, I was able to reproduce it. Looking forward to 4.1.4!

@xod Just love this new version! You should announce this...version 2.0 is spectacular! Reply to this so I can give you a rep!

Thanks, @Pixey A nice glittery Halloween! ? Thanks, @welshblue I'm sure your cousin did not appreciate that! ? ? Thank you, @Maximilian ?

Happy Halloween to Everyone! Gotcha! didn't I?

Hi @OriDargonfaxe If you are just wanting to use a gaussian blur, try this: Some of the Distort plugins have 'wrap' features, but not all. If not, then @Joshua Lamusga's suggestions may be the best.
