    Super noob question

    in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions

    Posted

    I'm not totally sure what the issue is. I've made some silly mistakes that may be relevant so, check to make sure these things are set properly:

    1. Primary color is not fully (or mostly) transparent.

    2. The layer you're writing to is not set to transparent OR set to invisible (unchecked) in the layers panel.

    3. The region you're writing on that layer is not covered by an image on a layer above it.

    4. You don't have a different region selected, cause then your text would only show up where you have it selected, and not at all if you're not writing in that selection.

    Just so you guys know, a plugin's been released that let's you make animations within PDN, without a third-party app.

    you can find it here:http://paintdotnet.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=28407

    I haven't been to this forum in a long time, but I'm probably gonna be around here more often. I knew about the new plugin, so I decided to check out if this thread was still pinned, out of curiosity. I didn't expect it to still be pinned AND have 29 pages! lol

    But, the idea of animating frame by frame still applies so I'll leave it as it is. I may edit it at some point to include animating with the plugin, though.

    The easiest way to turn a CodeLab script into a full project is to build it into a DLL using CodeLab. On that screen, click the check box that says "view source". On the source screen, select all and copy that to a .cs file.

    Already did that ^_^

    Just realized my school's free software section has VS 5 and 8, but I'm downloading 10 from DreamSpark now. Works for me. :o

    There's a VS template here

    Thanks for that. I'll look into it when I have time... Unfortunately, I have a Calc II exam tomorrow so I need to get studying a bit. All in due time, though.

    But hey, no more copy/pasta from notepad++ :D

    Edit:

    Just sayin, after Java being my language of choice for quite a while, I read up on C# a bit today, and I think C# is starting to be my new choice... we shall see. O_o

    Still appreciated though!

    VS isn't free... sadface

    Hmm... would it be possible to tell WHEN the Render function is on the last row. Like, if rect.Bottom is equal to the bottom of the selection? Then, from there, set table back to null? *goes to try*

    Ignore this post. I got the code to work (see later in thread). Feel free to critique, of course.

    lol :roll: it is rather... err... iffy >_>

    or, more specifically,

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_cellular_automaton

    Basing this off of a Java program I wrote for a class last year.

    http://privatepaste.com/3718890fbf

    An example of "rule 30"

    rule30r.gif

    Mostly, rule multiples of 15 produce interesting fractals. I have a lot of weird and interesting ideas to do with this once I get it working.

    It was like 1:00 am and it's my first attempt, I'm trying to figure out how these pluginamajiggies work x_x

    ...Oh, and is a bool or an array of bools in C# automatically set to false when created? Wasn't sure on that.

    But... this is my updated code. Something isn't working right. I think it's something to do with the ROI thing. So yeah, help appreciated. Oh, commented it a bit for you Rick, in case you're interested in this awful mess. :P

    Some pictures (random turned off)

    This is what it's suppose to look like, and on occasion, it will render this way. In fact, every time it runs at these settings it should look exactly like this.

    http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w6/AndrewM16921/Random/right.jpg

    But, I often get results like these:

    Ignore this post. I got the code to work (see later in thread). Feel free to critique, of course.

    I've never written a plugin before, so I thought I'd start with something simple... a cellular automaton... <_< I figured it might be useful for making textures or something.

    After writing this code, I finally got no errors to come up. I'm not really familiar with C# that much, so it took me like 15 minutes to figure out that Math.pow should be Math.Pow (I'm mostly use to java and actionscript). Anywho, when I run this code in codelab nothing happens, and I can't really seem to figure out why. Any help appreciated! :)

    Also, I know it's not optimized AT ALL (lol), I was just trying to get it to actually work first.

    Behold... my first of many crappy attempts at a plugin:

    PLUGIN INDEX? omg, so THAT'S what I've been missing! *checks it out*

    ...just spent like 2 hours going through all of the plugins and updating my personal collection of plugins... which is outdated by like... x years >_> WOOT xD

    Hey guys... been a while. :P

    Um, so I was checking out one tutorial on fire cause I needa make fire for somethin... and it says I need an "Average Blur" plugin. The link was broken, so I did a forum search. I found many other broken links, but have yet to find the actual plugin. I'd greatly appreciate it if someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks. :)

    This started with the "IMHO..." frame, I just felt like turning it into to an animated .GIF and here it is.

    Got motivated after downloading Unfreez.

    Lol i like this xD

    I like it too. Very creative. =O

    Only thing I'd suggest is making it slightly slower - but not too much slower. =)

    topezia, it looks like you got the hang of it for the most part. It just seems like there is a stray frame in there that doesn't belong (the flicker). As for the shadow, I'm not sure what's causing that. It seems to be one of the settings with Shape3D, so just try playing around with that a bit. It seems you might be rotating it with the layer menu, instead try rotating it with varying settings in the Shape3D effect.

    Also, for the animation to truly look like motion you may want to add a few more frames. How many degrees apart was each frame? I usually use 15 degrees for images that size.

    Symmetric Overlay feature?

    Calm down, please.

    I don't believe he's "hyped up."

    If I understand correctly, this can be achieved.

    If layer a is on layer b, you can change the blending mode of a to something and leave b as normal. Alternatively, you could move b over a and change the blending mode of b and leave a as normal. Depending on the blending mode, both will achieve the same or different results. However, there doesn't seem to be a realistic reason for doing this when all you have to do is switch the layers - being such, I may not be understanding you properly.
