a spiral of water around an av or object... i couldn't find any of water in google, but i did find one of fire..... if anyone knows how to make a water one (looking more real as on the example with fire, that would be great.

does anyone know how to create a waterspiral around an av or object?

[Is it hard to make a plugin?]

Sorry for posting about this one ---v

Well, i cant figure this out, so what i want to make/need someone to make is. You know the Burn/Dodge tool in Gimp? I wanted to see if i could make it. Its is perfect for shadows and all of that. So if someone could make that, i would be very happy.

I know the excistance of the shadow/highlight recovery, but it really isn't something like the Burn/Dodge tool what i am looking for in paint.net. I hope someone can still make this plugin for paint(cous i have no idea how to make them myself :oops: )?? I would be very very thankful.

[Textures/Patterns: Make hair/fur/grass.(Easy)]

hi,

with this, i am a little step closer to what i want, but i still don't get far.

I know the copy/past thing, but i don't think that this tric, would help me.

If you know second life, you can make your av bald and make a picture, for that picture

with the bald av, i want to create new hair

for example: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cherieparker/3954935981/

in an other topic i already posted that it might be more handy to have the following

menu's etc for paint.net

or, if you can tell me the right steps, how to put it ON THE AV, that would be wonderfull (again, i do understand the copy past function, i tried, but i don't think that is how it works on an av, to create realistic hair)

[lack of primary tools and limitations of existing plugins]

Hi,

I'm making an attempt to create realistic hair, but Paint.net does not have a simple smudge tool, and the extra brush plugin tool that is around forces me to edit the image in it's own editor which has a very limited zoom level, so working on close detail level is not doable.

All with all, these lacking options and limitations does not really allow me to create what i want.

For Photoshop there are plenty tutorials to reach this goal simply, yet for Paint i can not find any decent idea on these forums or the net that comes even close to a similar result.

The most simple approach in photoshop

A generic technical method to achieve this:

The last page does not mention a specific drawing application, but these all involve usig different brush aspects and applying smudge/sharpen/blur combinations that Paint.net does not seem to offer.

Did anyone have done a successful project in regards to creating realistic hair or can someone give me some advise how i can adapt the ideas described on the tutorials in the above links, to paint.net?

Big thanks in advance...
