[Object Bevel update 1/4/2016 (previously Bevel Object)]

Good job AgentGoodspeed. Looking forward to the improved version, Red.

To make that PDN ice image, you'll need to make transparent text on a black background. Start with a black rectangle, add white text, then delete the white text so it looks something like this. Then put it on a layer above your texture and apply the Bevel Object plugin to the text layer...

 

 

Alternatively you can create a white text and add a black border, then delete the white text and apply the Bevel Objects plugin so it looks something like this.

You can use this method to create your engraved logo and save it as a 32-bit png to overlay on any texture/image. It can make a cool watermark for example....

Don't thank me, thank Red Ochre for creating this very nice plugin. I just stumbled upon a cool effect while playing with it....

[Object Bevel update 1/4/2016 (previously Bevel Object)]

It has to do with the black background and transparent text and shape. It pretty much uses default settings.

 

 

And if you select "keep only bevel colours" you can end up with something like this.

I combined an HD logo with a leather texture and used your Bevel Object plugin to get this truly awesome effect....

 

 

Thanks!

[Plugin to stretch/bulge text?]

[Texture Shader]

I just just tried this plugin out. Very nice, I like all the user control functions. I will find some uses for it, thanks...

 

[TR's Morpher v1.1.10+ (March 14th, 2016)]

Thanks for all the updates to this great plugin. I'd post some more animations, but people are probably tired of seeing them. Thanks again TR...

[SOTW#148 - Results - TEXT(elaborated/distorted)]

Plugins used: PyroChild's Trail and outline object, drop shadow, TR's Morpher and Midora's animate images. Created with PDN v3.5.11 running in Linux.

[Installing PDN under Wine in Linux/Mac.]

I gave up trying to install PDN 4.0.9 in Wine, so I just installed it in a VM. Check it out, now I can run PDN versions 3.5.11 and 4.0.9 at the same time...

Spring is just around the corner...

 

[TR's Morpher v1.1.10+ (March 14th, 2016)]

I like the new onion skin warp effect. It makes my fire apple look a smoother...

Nice Dog Cone Pixey.....

The image is from a screen shot of my Linux desktop.

 

 

**Edit, this one came out better...

[FIxing colours on professional slides]

You can also experiment using Curves+. Switch to RGB mode, then deselect Green and Blue to adjust just the Red Channel....

 

[SOTW#147 - POLL - 3 shapes and 3 colours.]

Plugins used: Shape3D, TR's Morpher and Midora's animate images.

 

[Installation Problems]

What I find interesting, is I never needed to install DotNet v4.6.1 on my Win10 system for PDN v4.0.9. It's running the default DotNet v4.0.30319.42000. This goes for my Desktop as well as Laptop. I simply ran the installer without any issue or need for installation of DotNet v4.6.1. I wonder why that is?

 

Here is my system info according to PDN:

[Opening iPhone "optimized" PNGs, either directly or with a plugin]

I can open that iphone png image in PDN v4.0.9, but I don't know which file type plugin is used to open it. The colors are wrong on import. PDN assumes it is RGBA instead of BGRA. Using the Color Matrix plugin does work...

 

[TR's Morpher v1.1.10+ (March 14th, 2016)]

Awesome!! Now I can preview all the silly warp effects I make. I have some much better than this one, but they aren't quite family friendly....

[SOTW#146 - Winners Announced.]

I forgot to vote again.

 

Don't feel bad, I never vote, even for my own entry.

I'm getting a security warning on the site you linked to. Post the zip file here directly.

[Very slow reaction (delayed) brush / clone stamp]

The dpi shouldn't matter to a computer (it is only relevant for printing purpose), only the actual pixel resolution does. What are your image pixel resolutions? PDN can get very slow with large image resolutions such as 8k and above.
