  1. This might not be possible in Paint.NET because I think that it is currently impossible in photoshop, gimp, etc. However, I am going to throw this question out into the open anyway. I am working on a project for myself and it includes a water ripple effect. I have the drop ripple plug-in and I made a 2D version of a ripple in water. I used the clouds effect along with some other effects to make it look like water. I next ran the drop ripple effect on it to an amount that I found to look good. I used the layer rotate/zoom thing to rotate the layer in a way that it gives the illusion that it is on a flat surface (i.e. a floor, except with water). The only problem is that it is all flat. Sure, the ripple effect is there, but there is no height to the ripples. I am wondering if there is a way to add height. It is supposed to look something like the y=cos(x^2 + z^2) function for all of you math people, because I am one. I already checked the 3d shape plug-in under the render menu, and I don't have any idea of how to do this. My personal project involves everything from scratch, as in no external images at all. If anybody out there is a programmer, I only to visual basic and I try not to get into all of that C business, I would really appreciate a plug-in. Or if there is a plug in, please point me in the right direction. I really hope that this is not too long of a question. Thanks.

  2. Amazing tutorial! I got to the step where I needed to draw in the crust, and I was like 'jeez, I am way too tired and lazy to do this,' so I kinda stopped. However, I love the outcomes that I have seen! A lot of hard work was put into this and I am impressed!

  3. Whenever you change the DPI, you are basically changing the number of pixels that are packed into an inch. If you have a 192 x 192 image at 96 dpi, you will get a 2 x 2 inch picture, hopefully. If you instead have that same 192 x 192 image at 300 dpi, it will shrink down to a bit over a half inch square. I would recommend opening up a new file, changing the resolution to 300 dpi, changing the size, in inches, to whatever you want. Finally, past in the picture and resize it accordingly. When resizing the image hold the SHIFT key in order to maintain the aspect ratio.
