Use the F5, F6, F7, F8 keys. If you press them simultaneously you make visible/invisible all the windows.

yellowman, your bolts with nuts looks very realistic! You posted somewhere a tutorial on how to do it? I am very interested in the technical stuff. Drydareelin your picture is awesome! Looks like a picture made ​​by Hubble telescope. I think you could imitate famous picture Pillars of Creation. I tried once but I failed.

Engrave/Emboss plugin might help. Or maybe a Drop Shadow with this settings: This is my first try:

Take a look here: http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/MoveTools.html

I agree. I'm European and I don't like the soccer name.

Thanks yellowman. welshblue, you're right. Let's call it the classic soccer ball.

First you need to separate white background to white shirt. 1. Draw 4 lines (Antialiasing = OFF) as shown below: 2. Use the Magic Wand (Tolerance = 15) selects the background and delete it. 3. Use the Eraser tool and erase the 4 lines.

All creations are beautiful and your dome looks very good. Congratulations to all and especially the winner. In connection with the process, it was not identical to the one described by the originator of this topic. I have never used a network of pentagons to fill the canvas. I used this:

A very old thread... This is my try - a soccer ball with pentagons.

This ring is even more strange: if you zoom in or zoom out give you the feeling that rotates.

That makes me think of Shape 3D plugin but I have no idea what kind of settings you did.

welshblue, as I said, you're the king. Polar inversion is indeed a very powerful tool and your ring looks much better. Sorry, I will stop posting stupidity. doughty, actually I posted this in the thread torus or ring because you wanted to know how I did the twisty ring. That was the method, I used two colors and linear gradient, then Traill different angles to fill the empty pixels and finally Adjustment > Curves. I thought you'd understand.

My color:

Sorry for the errors and for my bad english. I modified the value of the color in my first post: #7F6A00 Go to layer up or layer down mean Select Layer up or Select Layer down. This is my new try:

This tutorial is available as a PDF. Click here to view or download it Hello! This is my first tutorial and I hope to be helpful ... I searched it to see if someone made it before but no result. I searched for keyword torus or ring. What we want to achieve: Plugins required: Shape3D, AAs_Assistant, Gridlines, Gausian Blur 1. Add New Layer and fill it with colour what you want. I used #7F6A00. 2. Now in Shape3D choose setings like in image below: 3. You must get this: 4. Run AAs_Assistant with default settings twice. 5. Duplicate layer 6. Add new layer then choose Gridlines plugin - Horizontal spacing = Vertical spacing = 20 7. Go to Select layer down and choose Ellipse Select tool, make an ellipse and fine adjustment of the shape with Move Selection. Gridlines help us to fine-adjust the shape of the ellipse. 8. Cut sellection. 9. Use Magic Wand tool and select ellipse cuted before. 10. Go to Select layer down and move sellection like in image below then cut selection. 11 Go to Select layer up and Use Magic Wand to select ellipse again. 12. Go to Select layer down an use Color Picker to select external color to the ring. My color is #2C2500. 13. Use Paint Bucket to fill selection with color. Flood Mode = Contigous. Tolerance 50%. Click on the interior wall of the ring not on the center of ellipse. 14. Deselect (CTRL+D) go to gridline layer and delete it. 15. Merge Layer Down. 16. Use Magic Wand tool (Flood Mode, Tolerance 50%) sellect the interior wall of the ring and make a gradient linear (reflected) with second color #DBAE1A (Press and hold Shift key, right click and drag horizontaly). Primary color is #2C2500. 17. Use Magic Wand tool (Flood Mode, Tolerance 50%) sellect the entire exterior wall of the ring and make a gradient linear (reflected) with second color #DBAE1A like at p.16. Deselect (CTRL+D). 18. Apply AAs_Assistant and then Gausian Blur 2. You can use Adjustements > Curves to improve the final quality, you can select entire Layer and rotate as you wish.

There's nothing wrong with plugins. OS has problems. There is an info file or something else with native (owner) plugins?

Rick, yes that's what I'll do. I hope I have not offended you! You're doing a wonderful work and I would not want to upset you. @EER I took the plugins on this forum. I will come back with explanations because I do not remember exactly all I installed. It's my fault. I didn't try them one by one.

I found this pdf I browsed and found some plugins that I need. After installing some plugins, PDN crashes very often. Some of them may not work under Windows7 - 32bit? I have 2 PC one with W7 and one with XP. I had no trouble with XP and I have the same plugins on both and same PDN version 3.5.10

It is a theme for my son at school about quasars, planets, gas clouds and stuff ...

Good job welshblue!

Bonjour jolijojo! Je comprends, mais vous pouvez utiliser différentes tailles (largeur du pinceau) pour Tampon de Clonage ou d'autres logiciels.
