So, most of us on here have learned and honed our images by doing tutorials. Here is one on making a sword. The images have gone on the first page, but the PDF still has the images. You could adapt your sword/shape to resemble a sword to your liking: We also have a ready-made area of Shapes, and I have some in a pack: And here is a tutorial on how to make your own Shapes:

You have to click on the Title in this Index, then it takes you to the Author's page who made the Plugin:

Welcome to paint.net @partimehero. What program are you using to animate? As it's seems not to be paint.net, we can't help I'm afraid.

Perhaps this is what you are looking for. It's simply called Plugin index:

It should already be built in to paint.net : https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/EffectsBlursMenu.html There is also a Fragment Blur+ which is in G'Mic:

Great work @LeonAguilez and welcome to the forum

The Poll is now open for the Jug competition and will close at 2 pm on Saturday 19th August, 2023. Thank you for participating in this theme 👍

Congratulations @lynxster4 on your wins 🥰 Well done @Manc 👍 And @lynxster4 thank you for hosting 🧁 🍰

@Haoto I tested it in both 4.3.12 and 5.0.9 an it is still working in both.

No, one can't, sorry. The best way is to update to the latest version of paint.net. I'm afraid we can't give solutions, or help, with older versions. If you are having problems with newer Plugins, one has to 'bite the bullet' and learn how to use the newer Plugins If you have a particular problem with one of the newer ones, you can post an image of what you ae trying to accomplish and people on here, as well as the Plugin author, should be able to help you to get to your desired result.

Ahhh - now I understand 😂 Your question is a commonly asked and is, obviously, a problem to solve. We have a 'funny' tutorial on this subject:

Absolutely! You must update the latest version in order for the Plugins to work correctly.

Is this what you are talking about? If so, then no

I just thought of this after seeing your updated "TR's Drumskin" 😁

You can use @BoltBait's Bevel Selection Plugin. Select the shape, then use the adjustment in both the shadow and colors area.

Hello @nutkitten and welcome to the forum With the store version, the Plugins are placed differently. Please read, half way down, on this page: https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/InstallPlugins.html

And here is a simple tutorial:

Hello @BrooksR and welcome to the forum You could attempt this by using layers and a few plugins: Doing the text might be a bit labor intensive, but typing the text on a clean layer, and position with the Move Selected Pixels Tool then merge down to the previous layer.
