[Realistic Glass Text (PSD tut conversion to PDN)-Request]

I was wondering if a tut for very realistic glass text could be done in PDN:

Here's the link for the tut:

Help appreciated if you can.

Thanks

P.S. i understand some of it, such as the sparkles and the glare, but i don't know how to do the transparent glass feel.

:? :? :?

[Image Umbrella: Realistic Images]

@ZizOiz: Those bricks are amazing! Very realistic, and i like how the bricks fade away in the back ground.

First you need to install the plugin.

Installation instructions can be found here:

Once installed the plugin can be found here in Paint.NET:

Effects --> Object --> Outline Object

Maybe a nice mod will move it for him?

[Problem]

you have to restart Paint.NET after installing the plugin for it to work, as iRock said.

[trying to add colored text with outline to photos]

i find that the outline object plugin by pyrochild works well to outline stuff.

here's a link for the plugin:

the vista twist thingy looks quite cool IMO, but it doesnt seem right...maybe i'm just used to the original logo?

Overall, i like your work iRock, its quite interesting.

[etlie- My very first Sig]

nice sig so far..but the render of the person with the gun doesn't stand out over the diagonal line

i'd also feather the render to make it smoother.
