  1. Here's my pic- the third thing I've made in paint.net. It came out kinda the way I wanted it to... image ... but what I'd really like is to put like a gold glow around the shadow of the dragon. If anyone could help me with how to do that, I'd be very grateful.

    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.

  2. ok i basically just got paint.net and im a total newb.

    i have no idea how to do anything so please bare with me.

    i can get the gradient fine,

    then i create the new layer, and go to clouds, and put the blend mode at difference.

    but it still looks the same, i try repeating the clouds efect but the places of the gradients just switch(black goes to top and white goes to bottom, and they keep switching everytime i hit repeat clouds)

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

  3. 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.

  4. Isn't there a chrome text tutorial up somewhere...?

    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.
