    Motto Text For Heraldic Type Crest

    It's literally just a rotary text problem.

    Just write the text you need then use the right mouse button to rotate to the correct angle.

    Aside from that, I'd also recommend a higher-resolution image of the logo as it will be much easier to play around with.

     

    Was the double posting an attempt to bump the question by any chance? Even if they were 3 minutes apart...

    It's awesome! I didn't even know this was up (even after I got back online) until EER told me. Watching it progress was pretty awesome too and it does it's job perfectly.

     

    For the LaTeX side of it, there are multiple apps you can use too help you find the code needed.

     

    Examples:

    There are some more, but these are my most used. I haven't really searched for any on HTML5 and MathML but I'm sure they exist :)

    I'll give some more information on how to use these if asked.

     

    Thanks for the plugin!

    Haha and one of my friends asked me if I should add more red :P

    About the planet's rings, I completely forgot about that so you bought up a great point there - I'm usually alright with ring lighting dammit!

    With the nebula, I was actually after an 'explosive' nebula type thing. Over all I was after the "Ahhh that's huge" ordeal.

    I would alter the rings, but I'm not sure if it would be too hard or not without the original PDN file (I flattened the ring layers together.)

    I'll have a look later :)

    @Pixey: I probably should've mentioned this earlier, but it's on the deviantart. I used a clouds stock for template since I couldn't get the 3D look that I wanted :) The rest is full PDN though! Thank you

    @jerkfight: Thanks man :D

    @johnnysdream: There is a very slight black strip going across the bottom. Now, I would've changed it since you mentioned it until:

    Can't please everyone, eh? :P Thanks for the kind words.

     

    @HELEN: Thanks, as always :)

    @Goonfella: Photo manipulation? Me? How dare you.

    Ok jokes aside, the clouds were the only things non-PDN in this :P Maybe you're right about the orange, but I wanted 'bright and colourful' this time trying to avoid my usual 'dark and desolate'. You can see more information on it in the deviantart link ^^ Thanks for the kind words Goony!

    Input Mathematics/Mathematical Symbols

    in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions

    Posted

    Near the end of this or next year, I need to make a few posters describing a research field I was involved in for my Physics degree. It will most likely require some fairly advanced mathematics so I was wondering if there was a plugin currently or how hard it would be to create one?

     

    I've searched, but to no avail. I have done something similar before using a LaTeX Mathematica simulator but that won't do well on large and frequent scales.

    The level of mathematics I'd see myself doing would surpass this and this by a fair bit.

     

    Thanks,

    Space Effect

    Black Holes!

     

    First thing first, some physics to explain them (it makes things easier to create, for me anyway).

    Black Holes aren't 'holes'. The idea is when a star collapses, it's gravity is so strong and compact into a space so small that it creates what's called a singularity.

     

     

     

    So I am going to firstly find a space image.


    This one I found just googling "Ultra Deep Field". I'll stick that into PDN. Obviously reducing the image's size since it's so large.

     

    I'll name this layer 'Starfield'.

     

    Because the gravity of the black hole is so strong, it even pulls in light. This means it's completely black (hence the name) so on a new layer, I literally just put a large black circle in the middle of it. 

    There's this certain physics term called Hawking Radiation, which we are not going into, but basically it means black holes radiate. To show this, I'm just going to put a very faint white glow behind it. 

     

    There are multiple ways to do this, the easiest would be to duplicate the circle's layer, and on the bottom one you invert colours (Ctrl+Shift+I for short), apply a Gaussian Blur of about 5 or 6, then lower the opacity to around 100. You can play with the colours of this using the Colour Filter plugin.

     

    I would suggest centering both of these circles using the Align Object Plugin.

     

    That's pretty much it; but one more thing.

    With gravity, you have something called Gravitational Lensing. It basically warps the light passing by it and even galaxies can alter it, as seen here:


     

    Black Holes also do exactly the same thing. So to recreate this we will need the built-in Twist plugin. 

    Select your Starfield layer and apply the Twist effect. You can really do whatever values you want in this instance but I chose Amount/Driection: 60.28 and Size: 1.

     

    Now you're pretty much done. Final image:
