oma

thanks Hope it is not one of my better ones. I should have feathered more on each step. l I guess that's what practice is for.

@Mustang that is sure good. very nice. like your use of multiple effects and colors.

thanks trooper good explanation simplified grandmother version = 3d computor generated paper dolls for boys LOL! actually i think this must be extremely hard and time consuming. I'll have to try it sometime. thanks for taking the time to tell me what this term meant. I hear it often on the forum. chow OMA

really like the new version made the 3d triangles using it. works great.

I posted this in the pictorium but thought I'd put a link under the actual plug in thread I really like how this one turned out. http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewt ... 7971#57971

:? time for OMA to learn some new terms @Trooper whats skinning? oh and here is my age really coming out UT99 is that a game? or a comic hero? @Madjik you amaze me with your ability to keep coming up with great plug ins. like this one I'll be using it in today's something new play session. If I get something decent this first time around I'll post. @paran welcome nice work.

thanks Ash and mustang maverik and yes Ash that is like the background of your tut on gems. its an eroded triangle then I polar inverted it just because that's my favourite thing to do.

@Soldier_Dude05 not a competion here at all its a place to put up your work for constructive comments. you'll find you improve very quickly if you have an open mind and try new things everyday.

Ash as always your work if wonderful. your use of shading is astounding! great artist eye you have.

OK thought it might be something like that Yata. He hasn't been on the board for everso long so guess I'll just have to figure out another way to do this. might have to use another program for that modification. I think I'll try inkscape again, for that step. Although that program is so difficult to use, it has better vector manouvering .

would it be possible to have someone add two extra control points along each edge? giving total of 16 in all? I'd appreciate if someone could do this. I use this plug in quite often but the extra control points would allow more gradual curves thanks

thanks madjik knew you would have the solution fairly simple once I read your post. and yes that's me. not your average grandmother!

:Deselect: if you mean you have active selection as in you selected a portion of your picture with and then changed your mind you find that button up near the sissors there's sissors to cut, next is copy, then paste, next button over crops your selection, and the next button to the right after that is the deselect button. :Deselect: hope that's what you meant if not you had better rephrase your question to be more specific chow

moved to "show yourself" on overflow.

Ha! Ha! yes addicting is definetly the word maybe we should vote for a name change of the program. do you know I was out to my favourite chinese restaurant for lunch yesterday with some gals I used to work with and found my mind wandering. I was thinking I bet I could replicate that bamboo wall over there in paint net ever so easily with the 3d tube .....but how do I do the cross rings...... had to snap myself back to the group real quick before I missed out on the juicy gossip. thanks for the comments on my work I try something new every day.

addicted..... you know you need an intervention when you are on an elevator and you try to figure out how to do the wall paper in paintnet. the background twists were my interpetation of the wallpaper I saw at the race track yesterday! oh I'm so toatlly addicted!

Hi Hope well for someone new to paintnet you've done some lovely work so far. I really look forward to seeing what you come up with after you've played with different effects. chow and welcome

there is good information on layers in the forum basically its not too difficult I'll give you a scaled down version open paint you should have a small box over to the right that says layers if not go up to windows and click then click the layers adding a new layer transparent layer use :AddNewLayer: this button will make a copy of the layer you already have then next one will merge the top one with the one below. remember the layer you wish to work on should be highlighted in blue on the small layer box and the small check boxes well they just let you know if that layer is currently visable or not. before you save you need to flatten the image or you will only get the layer your are currently working on saved. to flatten image up along the top under image its the last one down at bottom of the drop down list hope that helps

oh my goodness you feel old! I've a few decades on you! and I'm just getting going!

inspired by the picture by naam (coloring in sketch) I decided to add to my background of oriental man a geshia girl from internet I found this image as my inspiration piece in the works but thought you might like a sneak peek first I traced face and hair on separate layers and colored on the outer dress i wanted to try a few things so its in several layers outline selected within outline of outer dress used a cloud (two shades of pink) another layer same outline of outer dress selected a semi transparent layer of clouds reseeded and more intense in blue and yellow) next layer with again still same outer dress selected a layer of text I used Rose Garden font. merged all the layers for outer dress. I'm not pleased with the fan layer yet so will be reworking that any suggestions for new tricks to try out.

so many plug ins .... yes might be quicker but still gives much the same effect. that's what I love about this program so many options .

Myrddin your way is definetly better as I said I've not looked at a comic book in years and years. what you describe I think is closer to what would be needed. and yes that was the tutorial halftone! I'm looking forward to seeing the first post of this in the pictorium.

if you mean swirl brushes i think you are not going to find this program supports making your own brushes. to acheive this I generally use text ding.
