Move Layer 1 and 3 next to each other, merge down. Now you have layer2 and layer1+3. but when you have more than two layers you want flattened and they have different blending modes merge isn't quite the same as flatten.

Layers I and III wouldn't be flattened? The opposite. Layers I and III would be flattened, leaving layer II and Layer I/III.

Bump. No one knows an easier way to do this? Not even an acknowledgment that it's the only way?

Those last two abstract/wallpapers are amazingly well put together :shock: :shock: :shock:

Worldnewser: The texture of the ground looks really cool on the second piece. For the planetary lights, you should add a slight yellow tinge to them. Right now it makes the planet look sort of see through. Here's a space scene I made today. I like the background/stars a lot, but I'm still working on making a realistic 100% PDN planet texture.

Is their an easier way to flatten just some layers? Kind of like in Photoshop, they have a "Flatten Visible" tool, that just flattens layers that are checked as visible. Right now I've been saving, unchecking the layers I don't want saved, Flatten, Ctrl+C, revert to saved version, and paste into a new layer.

Good job siren. Only thing I would change is make the highlights on the bottom more opaque, and the ones on the top more transparent. Other than that, great job!

I did the same kind of thing the other day, but I used panelling instead. Thought of it when wondering how to recreate These. But now that I think about it, rotate/zoom probably works better

the problem is, when I pick the ones that I want, I find things in them that are over my head right now and I just end up getting stuck. :oops: I think I need to get a tutorial with no plugins required that'll give me a really good lesson on layers, what to do with them and show how the transparency values effect each layer. I think This tutorial fits that description pretty well.

I'm trying to do another but i don't know very well No, not the picture. I meant that people add "Im porteguese and.." as if that effects the quality of their work :wink:

Do you have a link to the height field plugin? I can't find it. Oma: Can you explain a little more? I'm confused.

I was following a Photoshop tutorial today, and they used a plastic wrap effect. Here's an example of what it does... example... How would I go about replicating this in PDN?

Also, you could try madjiks(?) panelling plugin, and just press ctrl+f for each layer after the first.

I think all he wants is PDN on the internet. If so, This could be useful in the future.

First, download the trial version of Cinema4D :wink:

Hah, look how those "smart" photoshop users make 3d text :wink: Just look at the first few steps

I find it funny that people feel the need to add that kind of thing to their gallery/s first posts on the forum

What's the pixelated image? I can't tell :?

Why thank you

This will be fun

Use search next time :wink: http://paintdotnet.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=26967

I love the texture on the first planet Altogether a very nice piece.

This has gotten asked around once a week since I've been on the forum. http://paintdotnet.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=21478&p=119080&hilit=curve+text#p119080 Just follow ash's links.
