    Object of the Fortnight - Discussion thread.

    Should it be a single raspberry, or is a group allowed?

    I think for the actual entry, it should just be a single raspberry.  I feel this will put all entries on an equal footing, so we can compare "apples to apples" and not "apples to oranges".

     

    I don't want to be a dictator of the rules, so if you think differently, please state your case. :)

    Object of the Fortnight #1 – Raspberry

    The deadline for entries is 2200 UTC (10:00 PM UK Time) on Monday January 9.
    To see how that equates to other countries, see the World Time clock or the UTC Time Zone map.

     

     

    Competition Rules:

    1. Your entry must not have a background/backdrop/scene; just the object.* 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 800x800.*

    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 your entries only.  
    If you want to talk about any of the entries, or ask a question regarding the comp, you can do so in the discussion thread found here.

    nice button...it doesn't work though!

    What were you hoping to download by clicking on it?

    So thanks for the left-handed info mr gameroftheyear; not helpful, but indicative of how an outsider's opinions are received here. Merry Xmas.

    That title, "Gamer of the Year", was not chosen by me.  I rarely play games; video games or otherwise.

     

    How can I be more helpful? Can you specify or articulate what you're looking for?  You've only said what you're not looking for:  i.e. plugins posted in forum posts.

    Perhaps you could cite some examples of systems you'd prefer. For example, I would like to have the plugins in a repository comparable to Mozilla Addons.

     

    You're no more an outsider than I am.  I may have been around here longer, but I certainly don't make any administrative decisions around here. Please keep in mind what I said is in no way official.

     

    Merry Christmas. :D

    Works for me. "ahmed" = 137 results

    I'd rather also see a hyperlink text page listing simply organized and scroll-able, searchable.

    It's here: https://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/15260-plugin-index/

    It's has hyperlinks to each plugin topic, is organized alphabetically, is scrollable, and searchable.

    they are each buried in a post

    Is it really so hard to spot a blue link in the first post of the forum thread?


    Maybe you'd prefer something a bit less subtle?

    Define "Object".

    An image of a physical thing OR a group of pixels surrounded by transparent pixels?

     

    A physical thing:

    Are you going to choose the object or will it be a free-for-all?

    I will chose it the first time. The next on will be chosen by the most recent winner.

    This is the forum thread to discuss the proceedings of the 'Object of the Fortnight' competition.

    If you can a question, concern, comment, complaint, or suggestion, please express it here.

     

    Original post:

    Spoiler

    As mentioned in the idea thread, I'd like to get the 'Object of the Fortnight' competition going.  Before it gets started, let's establish some qualification rules.

     

    Here's my proposal: 

    

Competition Rules:
1. Your entry must not have a background/backdrop/scene; just the object.*  Shadows are fine.
2. Your entry must be 100% made using Paint.net.  Don't use another image editor.  Don't use stock images.
3. Max dimensions are 800x800.*
4. You may modify or replace your image until the deadline. 
5. Multiple entries per entrant are allowed.  

*You may link to alternative versions, but they will not be part of your entry.

    How to reset / restart a plugin programmatically

    OptionDoubleVectorPan(OptionNames.VecPan,optContext,0.5,0.0,1.0,0.5,0.0,1.0),

    gives me a System.OverflowException: Overflow error.

     

    It's System.Drawing that is throwing the exception, because it can't draw the Pan's vector lines.

     

    Easy fix though. You just need set the StaticBitmapUnderlay property. Then it will have an area in which to draw those lines.

     

     

    To set the image as the source selection: 

    Rectangle selection = this.EnvironmentParameters.GetSelection(this.EnvironmentParameters.SourceSurface.Bounds).GetBoundsInt();


OptionDoubleVectorPan pan = new OptionDoubleVectorPan(OptionNames.Pan, optContext, 0.5, 0.0, 1.0, 0.5, 0.0, 1.0);
pan.StaticBitmapUnderlay = this.EnvironmentParameters.SourceSurface.CreateAliasedBitmap(selection);

    or 

    Rectangle selection = this.EnvironmentParameters.GetSelection(this.EnvironmentParameters.SourceSurface.Bounds).GetBoundsInt();


new OptionDoubleVectorPan(OptionNames.Pan, optContext, 0.5, 0.0, 1.0, 0.5, 0.0, 1.0)
{
	StaticBitmapUnderlay = this.EnvironmentParameters.SourceSurface.CreateAliasedBitmap(new Rectangle(0, 0, 50, 50))
},

    Anyone willing to step forward to be competition host? Toe-head?

    Sure, I'm willing to be the host.

    That seems like a good idea for a competition. Perhaps after the competition, participants could discuss how especially novel results were achieved.

    I'm all for making it a learning experience. Obviously that would be optional thought; we don't want to make the 'barrier to entry' too stringent.

    Would anyone be interested in an 'Object of the Fortnight' competition?

     

    Basically, every two weeks, you'd just create an object. No background, backdrop, nor scene. (if you really wanted, you could post a second image with a background, but it wouldn't be part of the competition entry).

     

    Ideally, the object would be something without too much complexity in its structure.

    e.g. banana, Christmas tree ornament, CD, book, wood sign, mug
