Download HERE I hope some of you will enjoy using the shape packs I've made and share. I made these a few months ago for a relative and his fan fiction interests. Instead of just deleting them I thought I would add them here so they could be shared and enjoyed, for educational purposes. Some work best when not in a tiny size. Either way, instead of deleting them from the computer, I'm sharing them. The .xaml files are below the image.

Astrology Chart Shape Pack I hope some of you find these of use or enjoyable....Lydia This first, "Hamsa". Hamsa Shape Pack Hamsa Shape Pack.zip NEW: 04/16/2017 I had a project I did to help a friend so I'm sharing those shape packs. It's been awhile since I used ShapeMaker but it's like riding a bike. There are 3 new shape packs. One is "Hamsa", the other is "Comic Book", and the third one is "The 60s & 70s". Comic Book (over 70 xaml files) Comic Book Fun ComicBook ShapePack.zip The third one is "60s and 70s" shape pack: 60s Meets 70s shape Pack.zip 05/07/17 I made this pack a long time ago for a project I was working on. I edited some of them prior to uploading here to share with anyone who may want them, also: Ugly Christmas Sweaters & Photo Props Shape Pack Here is the zip file: Christmas UGLY sweaters.zip 2/20/16 Here is a big kit. It's Sugar Skull (Calavera), which is part of Dia de los Muertos; a festival celebrating and honoring those who have died because the dead would not want their loved ones sad since those who have passed away are with loved ones.The zip file is below the sample image. There are many traditional shapes and many shapes made to decorate your skull. Lynxter's gemstone pack could also be used for decorating skulls, as diamonds are often seen on the top center for decorations, as well....but, of course, you can decorate it with whatever you want. The "papel picado" (banner flags) were made with shapes that already come with Paint.Net 4.0 and higher, as was the heart. The skeleton can be put together to show different poses (standing, dancing, playing guitar, maracas, trumpet, etc). You use the same arms and legs but make a copy and "flip" them for the other side.

So, for a 'fledgling' user to give a crack at using the ShapeMaker plugin, here is what I made. I was going to delete them after practicing the use of ShapeMaker but JUST IN CASE anyone out there might like them or might want to use the 3 piece Snowman Shape Pack, here you are: Special thank you to those at this forum, as someone is ALWAYS around to offer help, and many have. Impressive. 3 pc snowman xaml pack.zip

Very good, thank you to all of you who have assisted. So, we do attach our files/images via "My Settings" in the mini menu...then we go to the appropriate forum page and in the right thread, we can upload our files within the typing text area that I am typing this post on? Correct? Perhaps clicking on that red and white thing in upper right-ish area that says "Options" when mouse rests on it?

Those are really nice eggs. I like that one is broken....or hatching. Both can serve useful purposes.

I know, right! For me, it's like, "Hey, now I can draw something!!...sort of" It's a way, at least for me, to be able to make something, well, actually, anything. Anyway, I agree. it's a fun plugin. The possibilities are endless.

LOL @ the sock with Pyro's name on it....Those are so nice and how thoughtful of you to do that for people.

Those are really nice. Thank you so much. It was very thoughtful of you.

Well, I used ShapeMaker and wanted to offer a small zip file of what I made in case anyone wants to use them. I read if you want to display an image, for instance, an image to show what the zip file contains, to load images up at ImageShack or Photobucket. I also read how some have a certain amount of space here for such uploading? I have been looking for a thread that explains about uploading zip files to no success but I did find one for images. What have any of you found to be the easiest way to recommend? Should I just upload and link to/from Dropbox? Images and zips cannot be linked from another website a person made/owns? I can't find any thread that explains uploading zip files. (I know about zips and uploading, I just wanted to make sure I read the policy about that.) Any suggestions or input would be appreciated and thank you.

Hmmmm....well, now, remember who you are mercifully even bothering to be dealing with. I don't even know how to use the "hide" function on this forum. I can copy and paste the code without including the header/footer tags, while seeing the code within the Kaxaml editor. Is that what you want me to do?

OK, I'm having the open edges, too....I installed Kaxaml and tried to put a Z in, but upon opening up the file of the image I made, within Kaxaml, I realized it wasn't what you are showing to add a Z to. So, I guess I can't add a Z to make the corners not split open in places, when enlarging it...not all the way open but more like corners split open. I can simply use the paint tool and fill in those "V" areas. I still love the plugin.

The issue with Eli happened to me, too. After saving it then installing the file to "shapes", once I selected it to use on the canvas I then realized it added a protruding line on the image that I didn't make or have. I just used my eraser tool to get rid of it once I had the image the size I wanted it. It was the only thing I knew to do and wasn't a big deal to do but I'm just letting you know in case it helps with anything.

I want to thank you for a very cool plugin. I spent about 10 - 15 minutes of tinkering around with the buttons (like a person who put on a pair of ice skates for the first time) and referred to the manual one time (thus far) but I got the hang of it. Remember, I'm NOT a techie person, either. I made a rather large object with a lot of twists and turns but before it was completed I was cruising along click, click, clicking away in and out of corners, this way and that way. One can easily control and edit various places of the image being made. I also saved what I made to my desktop as an xaml file then placed it into my "Shapes" file, within PDN. What would the disadvantage be for "Save as XAML" instead of "Export PathGeometry"? Just curious. Anyway, to all involved in ShapeMaker, thank you.

Hi, TH, I wanted to thank you for this incredible tutorial, but to also thank you for making a nice PDF file to go with it. As it is, I copy and paste tutorial to Word, tweak it a little then save it as a PDF. So, in other words, you're awesome--again!

I have a couple of nice color palets I made using PDN's feature that let's a person do that, but my text is slightly worded different than the color pallet files posted here. (I don't know where that "hide" feature is on posting that spares people a lengthy content of info or I would use it for the below color palette. I hover my mouse over each little button thing to read it and none say "hide".

I don't find that offensive or such.

Cc, thank you for taking the time to do this tutorial. The screenshots, the patients...detailed step-by-step info. This is such a TRULY well done tutorial. I've saved this one, too. (I'm making my own custom PDN tutorial 'nerd binder'...complete with plastic page protectors to slide the pages into.)

Never mind!!! Found it.

Hi. I just installed the gears.dll and can't find it anywhere. I've looked solely under "Effects". In Distort. In Render....I looked for "Iterative lines" at the very bottom of the Effects listing, too. I've restarted PDN three times. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Dear Technorobbo, I LOVE your videos and your plugins are incredible. So appreciated. Thank you again for the genuinely awesome videos....thank you to all of you. It's somewhat touching regarding how so many people dedicate so much time to bringing so much more life to PDN. Dearest coders, how do I love thee, let me count the ways....

This was an outstanding explanation. It helped me understand it better than any other place I have read this information at. I've saved it onto a .pdf I sincerely thank you.

Is there a possibility of a grid/snap to grid function, for the entire canvas area, or such? If memory serves me correctly, I THINK a number of years ago a prior version had a grid option (like the ruler option).... Ok, thanks. PS, I used the search function for "Grid" and nothing came up.

OK, it's not doing what it once seemed to be doing, or perhaps I'm not doing something I had been doing without realizing it (which is more likely the case). Thank you for helping me better understand that. Oh, and thanks for the vid link for me to check out! (I'm one of the "special people" who uses PDN.)

OK, that "special spot", aka the active dot also appears and stays on the canvas when I click on the canvas to use the paint bucket. After the color has filled the entire canvas, or whatever area is being filled with color, that "rogue active dot" stays. It goes away ONLY when I click on the gray area. That spot stays in place wherever I have initially clicked on it using the magic wand, too, so when that wanded area selected additionally has a bevel or effect added to it, that dot area is also effected or "beveled". In order for it to not make a 'mutated' area I have to somehow find another location, perhaps on the very edge of the specific area effected, so that it isn't as noticed. Using the 'paint bucket tool' within the tool window means I can just click on the gray area for that rogue dot to go away. If not, it stays there until I do something else, if I don't click on the gray area. The prior version never had that little tiny matter. I work around it and deal with it but just in case it needs a mention, for whatever reasons, I'm throwing it out there. I'm on the latest version of PDN and Windows 7, for what that's worth. Also, I can live with this and adapt, but, juuuuuust in case it might matter or in case others have noticed it....and I still LOVE Paint.Net, regardless. It's not like PDN doesn't work and it's not even that big of a deal to deal with. Uh, it could also be involving some weirdo completely unrelated different thing on my computer, like with how that Firefox add-on was causing numbers to show up whenever I posted on this forum. I'm not going to bother mentioning it any more. I only did in case it matters or may down the road, for whatever reason. Just cuz.

I use that search feature for this forum to spare posting something likely already posted, even if it was posts nearly 8 years ago or such. All I wanted to do was find topics posted on a few features like "Texture" effect and "Apply Texture" effect....and "BlendModePlus"....and "Dissolve effect". No results, at all, came up when I typed in "Texture". I know those topics are in this forum. That has been the case with other searches, too. Sometimes I have copied and pasted a specific name of other various plugins and nothing will come up, either. So, any advice when searching this forum? Other than being as specific as is possible? Thank you.

PS, Cc figured out why I had those two and three digit numbers always showing up with my posts on this forum. Thank you, Cc. That seems to have been the issue.

Ok, this is just with the 4.06 version of PDN that I've noticed this....I noticed it right away since I've had the newest version. I just never bothered posting about it because it's such a small thing, yet, ok, it's sometimes now 'low level annoying' but I get around it. Once PDN opens and you have your whatever to begin working on, and you go to to use practically any tool in the tool window--one that requires mouse use touching the canvas--- an initial tiny dot sticks to the image...ok, maybe it's only using the magic wand. For sure, at least, it involves the magic wand. It's one teeny dot that stays put no matter what, until everything is deselected. It can and does cause a noticeable distortion where that "rogue dot" is when the marching ants are marching around upon many effects used around the "rogue dot". Sure, I can live with that "rogue dot". The two of us can remain to have an understanding if we have to. I'm just sayin', is all.....just throwing that out there...
