Didn't solve the problem you asked for but if you change if(temp>255)temp=255;else if(temp<0)temp=100; to if(temp>255)temp=255;else if(temp<0)temp=1; It removes that solid line going down each side. I'm a little confused by "temp" what exactly is it doing? I'm new at Codelab, and don't have much C# experience, but enough to know basic coding I'm trying to learn the ropes really.

Added a pic I just made

I found a way to make eyeballs! Kinda. Didn't really put much effort into it cus I don't have time to make a Tut. All I did was Open PDN Same layer, use the Button plugin, make the circle an oval, being taller on the y axis Then used 3D Render Plugin, I halved the sphere for the sake of being eyeball sized lol And that's that. Someone else feel free to mess around with it and make a tut lol It's so easy, this picture was my first attempt, and it looks pretty darn good (first attempt after noting the button needed to be an oval)

Haha thanks for the improved cow. The cow wasn't original unfortunately. Neither was the idea Someone made it into a Bday card for our Spanish teacher, when I heard about it I died laughing. Sometimes even the simplest things just kill me. I know a lot of them are pretty simple. I don't like to spend too much time on my pictures unfortunately. A lot of those are months old as well, and I've gotten better. I made something yesterday, I'll add that in in a moment. I'm also working on something currently. This one is for my girl so I'm putting a lot of effort into it. I'll give you previews when I get somewhere. Right now I'm just experimenting with different ideas and styles. Any tips to help recreate the index of refraction in glass/crystal objects? I'm using the 3D cube render, setting text behind it, then selecting each side individually, moving back to the text layer, and applying a bulge distortion. After that I change the angle of the text to help match the side. It's working so far, but it's a lot of work lol

I was messing around today with the 3D render option. I'm trying to make a gem of sorts, with text layered behind it. I was applying distortions to recreate the index of refraction as best as possible when I wondered what would happen if I applied the Cloud Render to it. By maxing out the roughness, I believed to have saw something almost like Granite. It looked very nice. But, I'm not entirely sure if it looked exactly like granite. I applied it on a side of a cube that was semi transparent and it I used a color very close to the cube (green), so maybe it doesn't look as much like granite as I thought. I don't have time to look into it, but if someone else is interested I think it would be worth your time looking into.

I searched around and found my original question's answer "What does Alpha Masking do?" So alpha masking will simply change the white so it's transparent, and give you smooth curves at the same time, correct? Well it doesn't exactly seem to be working for me. It appears smooth, but there's still white fading along the line when I add a color to a layer behind it Or is this normal? Next, Custom Brushes. Great sounding Plugin, but how do I get or make my own custom brushes? What's the difference between .jpgs and .bmps and so on? I've always wondered this, my best guess is that it affects the quality of the picture when it's saved. I'm I anywhere close? I've been saving them as .bmps so far Those are all my major questions I can think of off the top of my head. If you have any quick tips as well, they would be appreciated. Thanks

I'm new here, but I've been using Paint.NET for a while, and I decided it's time I join the forums to pick up tips to really improve my work. I've kinda hit a wall recently. Most of my stuff is random, and I hardly spend more than 20 minutes on it. I'm going to post what I feel is worthy of sight. The first few are my my personal favs (Oh btw, you can call me Woody incase you're wondering if the "@"s are "A"s or "O"s) Hidden Content: Hidden Content: Made this yesterday I believe. The AB is how my friend signs his initials, then I used the Weave plugin, followed by a series of "Glow" "Soften" "Film" and finally I used "Smudge" to warp the edges. Hidden Content: Hidden Content: A lot of people tell me they love this Hidden Content: Those last two were for a School Project. I scrapped them both. Hidden Content: Never actually watched 24 lol Hidden Content: Hidden Content: Don't ask how I get the inspiration for some of these pics, cus honestly I haven't a clue Hidden Content: Those two were for a friend Hidden Content: His name is Ricky Hidden Content: I'm...not really sure on this one...It's relevant to the America's Army forums, I know that. Coe is a mod there...can't remember how I got psychrolutes though...huh... Hidden Content: This still makes me giggle like a school girl it's so cheesy Hidden Content: Something to do with a sugar rush, that's all I remember. Hidden Content: KITTEH!!! Hidden Content: This was my very first picture I ever made with Paint.NET Don't be hatin Hidden Content: New one. I really like it regardless of what you say lol. Here's the original pic http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/a/a5/RC_copy.jpg Ask if you want to know how I did it. It was a lot if I remember right. New Addition Hidden Content: I made this one for Coe. I followed that Space tutorial for a few other pics. This one I didn't really follow the tut, I just messed around with things til I liked it. Overall I like it. I screwed up a few times (I didn't like the noise level, but couldnt go back to fix it because I merged the layers eons back) You can see my more recent work is towards the top and are a lot better than the last few lol So, what do you think?
