sweet mercy! look what I got!
Edit: Post 500!!!
WOW! Nice. OK, now share--how did you get it so nice , even and steady??
-
Definitely 8) !! But I'm just a newbie, so what do others think????
-
Yes it is possible.
Thanks 8) , I'm going to give this a try in a more calmer moment and show y'all what I get!!
-
So more experienced 8) guys, now that I can make snow and rain, I have a question: Can I put other layers on this and still have it snowing? My daughter wants to use this for her siggy (I don't know why :?: ) but of course wants me to put some Christmas images on the top. Is this possible?
-
OMG! Sorry Topezia :oops: , don't know why I referred to you in third person!! No excuse, cept I just got a pneumonia shot
and I think it went to my head. I DID know it was you who posted !! -
It took awhile to get the effect I like but I FINALLY GOT SNOW!! Sorry for shouting, but being new at this I am thrilled!! Plus with my problems with the 3-D plugin I was gettin discouraged. So here's the photo:
As your fellow noob at paint.net I say: bravo! clapping hands (...backstage noise) (I am still struggling to get a decent snow effect but "slow and steady wins the race" and "Rome wasn't built in a day" :wink: )
Thank You ( much bowing). I followed the tut, topezia and David's advice:
Topezia:
It was not a panelling effect, I followed the tutorial in the first part, then as far as what I wanted to try was to reach a "snow like" effect I added the following effects:
1 - stars: probability 9054 intensity 89865 saturation 0 (primary color: white ,secondary: black)
2 - symmetric nearest blur: with radius set at 1
3 - motion blur: angle - 76,61 distance 2
David:
You'll want to skip the motion blur step. Instead, hit Ctrl+Shift+Z and zoom in quite a bit, until the noise is moderately large.
Also, skip the Curves step. Instead, go into Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast and make the noise white.
The last step, from David, is crucial. You really got to play with it. Oh, I almost forgot, I also played with topezia's star recomendation.
If I have learned anything with paint.net and people's tutorials its after you follow their directions then experiment, experiment--you will really learn what the program is capable of that way. Oh and ask questions, (took me awhile to be brave enough and I still post wrong sometimes) there is always someone else new out there who is wondering the same thing.
-
Panhead: thanks, I tried the Gaussian blur thing and got an ok look; but being new I am so lousy at line draw. I tried with elipse instead.
The Hamster or anyone really: Can you invert gradients? All I get is a white spot in the middle of the photo, haven't fooled with that much other than the explosion tut.

sorry, but i cant see the image
Dang it showed up in preview!!
Sorry! :oops: BTW: I'm talking about the border.

Ok I am fairly new and I do need help!
I did a search and believe this maybe what I want to do, although a photographer friend called it masking.
here's sort of an example:
How do you make this border just fade out like this around a portrait?

Hey, you two. Get back on-topic, please. Pyrochild was trying for some levity, which obviously didn't work. He's a nice guy. I don't want to see any fights going on here.
David!! I knew Pyro was kidding
!! I was just joking back !! I sorry. :oops: -
I guess I should have made that step a little more simple for beginners.
When you have those three layers you should go to the very bottom layer. Click control A to select the whole layer. Then control C to copy the layer. Then click control + Alt + V to make the layer and image itself. Save the image as a GIF. Do the same thing with the other two layers. :wink:
Actually, for this newbie this was a DUH! moment :wink: . If you just take a second and really look at the screen shots and/or the paint.net screen you can figure out most of this!!
-
Oh I am sooooo scared :shock: . Sweetie, I am a grandmother of a newly 6 year old red-head, plus ex-undercover narc and family therapist. You can't scare me.
"sides I wasn't threatening you; I was just saying!!! Cause I felt patronized.

If you look under the download link in this thread, you'll see - ohmaigawsh - another download link! One that's not from MediaFire!
Yeah, thanks Pyro
. But I didn't use the mediafire link because it says its a dead link!! I did use the other one 8) . Contrary to what some may think, I may be fairly new to paint.net but not to computers
. Plus I wouldn't have asked for help BUT this is the only plug-in that hasn't worked for me. And that is beyond frustrating :twisted: . Thank you to everyone who has been trying to puzzle this out !! -
Thanks for trying to sort this out David 8) --I am at a loss and frustrated
. Learning about paint.net and using the tutorials has been really fun , until now. But I am not about to let one plug in turn me off!! I'm "too old" for that!! -
Yes--the alpha 2 version of Paint.net and the plug in from this thread because that person said that the other link was broke?

This plugin haven`t worcked with me at any time. The program freezes. I must youse ctrl+alt+delet and shut i down. I have re-innstalled it!
Any tips?? Please!?
Now see
:shock: ???I totally uninstalled paint.net, ran diagnostics and clean up utilities. Then did a clean install, re-downloaded shape 3-D from the link in this thread. unzipped and placed in my effects folder 8) . This time still no screen, made the image into a ball, and froze the computer like always :twisted: . I even had another geek who does computer builds for a living check out my system and nada. I haven't had a problem with any other plug-in. I know this is weird, but also frustrating :twisted: !!
I moved away from this for a bit and played with the animated rain tut to make sure I wasn't crazy, no problems with any other plug-in the last couple of days.

The effect with paneling that Topezia did:
1. can it be done in color?
2. can it be applied to one area?
Thanks! Gotta love us newbies

!!I'm not a newby, but I don't know what Topezia did as well.
May be I have no idea of what I did either!
It was not a panelling effect, I followed the tutorial in the first part, then as far as what I wanted to try was to reach a "snow like" effect I added the following effects:
1 - stars: probability 9054 intensity 89865 saturation 0 (primary color: white ,secondary: black)
2 - symmetric nearest blur: with radius set at 1
3 - motion blur: angle - 76,61 distance 2
then i set the layers blending mode to additive and followed the rest of the tutorial
hope I was helpful, Zar Nicholas,
Do not crucify me please :wink:
Actually that is gonna help--I'm learning and that looked cool. I'm gonna fool around and see what I get. If its good--I'll post it!

yes okey but when i make a new layer its full of squares. and i don't hnow how i use the paint bucket on the layer
same way: choose that layer and paint bucket and click anywhere on that layer. Repeat for all the white layers.
-
how do u make layer white??
select paint bucket and click anywhere on the layer. 8)

Here's my try, this time really following the Tut. But there seems to be a bounce in mine between the rain. Maybe because my noise also has a setting called coverage which I didn't change?
-
8) Next thing I will try! DUH--didn't occur to me, just got tunnel vision. Thanks!
