Mr Frojo

That is the problem with this. The system isnt giving him the right to move stuff to the paint.net directory.

Thats better. Anyways, im not really sure how to fix that. I have the same problem. Someone here should know more though.

Please read the rules. Mostly #6. Change the thread title before this gets locked, then we'll talk

Ok, im not an expert of reading the crash logs, but it looks like the problem is with GREYCstoration plugin. What were you doing when it crashed?

You could use the drop shadow plugin on the dragon. Make the color gold, make the shadow not be offset at all, and blur it a little.

There was a discussion about this a while back. It might be included sometime, but I doubt in the near future. EDIT: And plugins can't do that. Plugins can do 2 things. They can either be an effect, or add another filetype.

Did you change the blending mode of the second layer to overlay?

I agree, but who'll code it?

Shape3D is one of the greatest, most complex plugins ive seen. Because of that, there will most likely be a ton of people who are having problems with it. Without a better description of the problem, it is impossible/really hard to help the people. If you dont want to keep developing the plugin, thats fine, but please release the source. Its a great plugin that adds a ton of new posibilities to paint.NET, and although it is really great as it is now, things can always keep getting more advance. If you want, you can stop developing, and leave is all up to us. You've got a ton of fans of the plugin, and im sure that one, if not several people will keep shape3D running, so long as you release the source.

Or maybe keep it here in case it might answer future peoples questions?

Doesnt look as long as I thought it would. We cant really tell anything from the history though. It shows the steps you took, but not in detail.

:shock: Thats really cool someone2016

At the top of the tutorial section, there are two announcements. Please read them. Also, read the rules. Mostly number 6.

Looks good. Some sort of fire-eye. Nice to see that you used the AA feature in shape3D. The edges are nice and smooth.

Yes, by BB00 I think. Thats different from stainless steel though. Ok, anyways, I just figured out a MUCH easier way to make metal. I used to do a different way, which took a ton more steps. It gives a pretty good result, and only takes a couple steps. Its a really basic metal texture, and you can build off of this. 1. Create a new image. I did 500x500 2. Add noise, Intensity at 100, color saturation at 400. 3. Ctrl+Shift+G to make the image grayscale. 4. Median at 30 or whatever looks alright. 5. Now to make the color a little more stainless steel'ish, adjust either the curves or brightness. I used curves at these settings. 6. And if you want, you can shapen the image a little bit to make it seem a little less plain. I used sharpen at 20. Heres my final result. You can build off of these steps to create other basic texures as well. EDIT: Hopefully you dont get that light dot on the bottom half like I did. If you do get it or something you dont like, just clone stamp it out.

Ill download this after it gets a performance boost. I only work with large images now. It looks great, and I see myself using this for some future stuff, but I hate waiting.

Ill get on it in a little bit. Ive done a lot of work in stuff like this. Ill hopefully get it up within an hour or so. Ive got a ton of other stuff ive got to do. EDIT: Stainless steel looks kinda like brushed metal, and theres a tut up here for that. Ill post a tut on a different, not brushed metal though.

Wow. This will make creating a ton of texures I use a ton easier. Thanks again pyro!

Same here. Maybe he deleted it?

And to add what ash said, make a rectangle, select it, then gradient within it.

Here you go. By the way, this was the second result when using this. Its a lot easier to search for what you want than to create a post and wait for somebody to answer. Also, theres a link to that search from within paint.net, under Help.

Theres a tut for this. One second, ill find it.

I dont think theres a feature to do somethign like that. I think the only way is copy/paste.

Whoops. I just realized I didnt do the html tags wrong. Im not doing good today... Well anyways, I fixed it.

I just realized I gave you the wrong link. My bad, I fixed it. So get a picture of the guy you want in the banner, use that tut to cut him out, then copy and paste him to the banner.
