The deadline for entries is 0500 UTC (5:00 AM UK Time) on Saturday, September 23.
Please see the Countdown Timer for exact time remaining.Competition Rules:
1. Your entry must not have a background/backdrop/scene; just the object on a transparent canvas. Shadows are fine.
2. Your entry must be 100% made using Paint.net. Don't use another image editor. Don't use stock images/photos (in full or parts thereof).
3. Max dimensions are 600x600.
4. You may modify or replace your image until the deadline.
5. Multiple entries per entrant are allowed. Make a separate post for each one.
You may link to alternative versions, but they will not be part of your entry.
This thread is for posting competition entries only. If you're not posting an entry, don't post here.
If you want to talk about any of the entries, or ask a question regarding the competition, you can do so in the discussion thread found here. -

... when I type the letters are always transparent.
That's the point of the plugin. Why do you want to turn it off? Do just want repeated text?

Just wanted to let you know that I was successful in copying and pasting relevant code into a template I created per BB's instructions.
Sometime in the future, I want to look into automating that process. i.e. You'll be able to import non-PdnShape XAML files into ShapeMaker.

Oh, BC7 support! I was just reading the other day about how much better it is. Thanks.

So....if you want that shape, you have to make it in ShapeMaker.
If you're willing to do some manual text editing, you may (depending on the file) be able to extract the relevant code from one of those XAML files.

I tried it ... says file format not supported even though inkscape saved it as xaml.
6 hours ago, lynxster4 said:Maybe it depends on the software that created them??
No, it's just that PDN Shapes only use a very small subset of the XAML spec.
See BoltBait's tutorial for details: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/32101-how-to-make-custom-shapes-for-paintnet-406/

Attempting to add the bookmark works but generates the error again.
Oops... yeah I broke that in v1.2.0.3.
Version 1.2.0.4 has been posted.

The Effect name property can only be set during initialization, and is otherwise readonly. We couldn't change it even if we wanted to.

Or maybe just allow importing svg files.
Feature Parity between SVG and XAML is non-existent, so it just wouldn't work.

Would you mind if I could have a look at the sources? Or debug this part as I have the problem myself with my configuration?
I already got it fixed over the weekend, and I will be posting an update in the coming days with additional fixes. I'll send you a pre-release later today when I get home.

As an example , the authors of this plugin could help us by adding a space between the number so comma not followed by a space is a decimal mark and must be replaced by a dot.
No, we're just going to fix the bug, so you won't need to edit the XML files.

I started playing with this plugin again, and got some ideas for new features. I might release a new version within the next week or so.

Is that paint.net v4.0.0? You should update to v4.0.17.
Out of curiosity, I opened a 26.5 Megapixel photo in several popular editors (paint.net v4.0.17, GIMP v 2.9.6, Krita v 3.2.1, and Photoshop CS 6, MS Paint).
Aside from Photoshop, all of them experienced similar lag. Photoshop probably uses a proxy image during those move operations.

As of CodeLab v2.24, changing your Regional Settings is no longer necessary.
In the source document, the decimal will always be a dot. A dot is what the compiler wants/needs.
However, when you open the UI Designer, you'll be able to use your default local regional settings.

Create a shape with Circles. 3 or 4 should be enough. Save as Shape. Rotate the current shape 30°. Import the shape you just saved and see how it renames the circles.
Wow... importing of Ellipses from shape files is just broken.
12 hours ago, AndrewDavid said:You can set reference points to decimal places. a snap to grid at .25 would ensure lines are even each side of the shape.
Okay, I see. I investigate this, and see if it makes sense to implement. There's at least two other bugs in regards to decimal points in shape files that will need to be fixed first.
12 hours ago, AndrewDavid said:a 16X zoom is what I meant.
I can zoom to any arbitrary zoom-factor by simply changing the integer value, but 16x seems a bit excessive. You'll need to convince me of its merit.

I've wanted a MRU menu in CodeLab for a long time, and last night, enough was enough.
It can even find the associated icon (if it exists) and the effect name from within the file (if it exists).

If there is a bug, why then is it still working for some of us?
It's a bug that only affects certain regions. Specifically, the regions that use a comma for the decimal point.

Please disable the 'MSI Gaming APP' on your system, and let us know if that solves the crash.

Editing the XAML file, I have no dot in the values, only commas.
That explains it. Thanks for the bug report.

Quit teasing. It's been three months!
And very little has been done in those three months.
5 minutes ago, AndrewDavid said:Is it designed to allow the import of more than one shape at a time?
Was it designed to allow more than one? It works, so assume it was, but you'd have to ask TR.
7 minutes ago, AndrewDavid said:It does seem to work well but once in awhile the nubs get a little mixed up.
Mixed up how? Please share the details.
7 minutes ago, AndrewDavid said:There are times when exporting the shape - it increases the grid to 1000X1000 which results in a file that cannot be imported back into Shapemaker.
Hmm, I wasn't even aware of it increasing the size to 1000x1000. I'll look into what's going on there.
30 minutes ago, AndrewDavid said:An increase snap to grid size - scalable would be nice - anything from .10 to .25 would allow more detailed shapes
When you're at 8x zoom, the grid has a line for each pixel in the 500x500 canvas.
or perhaps I misunderstood you.
37 minutes ago, AndrewDavid said:A higher zoom as well for these old eyes
Do you want to zoom into the canvas more, or do what the Path lines to be thicker?
39 minutes ago, AndrewDavid said:the rotation knob could use a snap to 5 degree increments - or a slider control that allows arrow key adjustments.
Since we're already using the Shift key to snap to 15 degrees, you could use the Alt key for 5 degrees.
There shouldn't be any reason why we couldn't use the Arrow keys on the knob.

the xml file isn't loading the settings your screenshot shows. That's by the by though, nice easy tut to follow
That's a bug with Shape3D; it doesn't know how to handle a mismatch with the localized decimal points in the XML file.
i.e. The XML file was made on a computer with the decimal set to a comma, but your computer has the decimal set to a dot.
I'll talk to ERR about getting this fixed in Shape3D.
In the mean time, you can change your decimal point settings, or simply modify the XML file.

For OotF #12, we're doing 'Non-opaque Perfume Bottle'. This doesn't necessarily mean transparent; it could be colored plastic/glass for example.
Please don't forget to crop/resize your entry to fit within the 600x600 size limited. In the last two competitions, we had some that were 800x600. I was feeling generous, so I cropped them in order to save them from disqualification.
