    Request for Sci-fi texture tutorial

    in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions

    Posted · Edited by Yusuf Zah

    There have been a lot of great tutorials to create a variety of textures. However, it would be nice if tutorials on sci-fi textures come up such as spaceship doors, futuristic walls etc. That would introduce someting new to the forum like always when people come up with great tutorials. I am certainly no expert at Paint.net but I am coming up with this suggestion.

    100% Paint.net Planet Tutorial

    in Creations

    Great and awesome tutorial. The displacement plug-in on the clouds created a moon-like texture. This texture can be tweaked for something different.

    Required plug-ins for this

    Sepia 2 and/or colour filter

    1. Finish making the planet.

    2a. Run Sepia 2 at any setting you like on the planet layer. The advantage Sepia 2 has over the normal Sepia plug-in is that you can vary the shades of brown. Certain settings can make the texture resemble the surface of the planet Mercury.

    OR

    2b. Run colour filter at any setting you wish on the planet layer. Keep the filter density high for a complete, high saturated colouring. You can change the moon-like planet into a wasteland planet by giving a high density of red colour filter. Use a medium-high density amount if you don't want the planet to be dark but still have plenty of colour. A low amount, adds a tinge of a low-saturation colour. Use a medium amount if you want a 'go-between.' Set the 'preserve highlights' settings to zero.

    3. If you made an atmosphere, follow these steps to recolour it. Run sepia 2 at a low setting or run colour filter with a low to medium density. Set preserve highlights to something between 0 and 130.

    4. There you go.

    Here is a suggestions for the planet, see attachment for more.

    Colour filter hue to red, density high to get a nuclear wasteland or wartorn planet. Or a reddish-planet.

    Also try setting the colour hue to 'flip', the density to 'great tutorial' and give it a colour filter and/or a Brightness/Contrast (or H&S) touch-up to get any of these stunning results.

    Faking Soft Brushes and the Blur/Dodge/Burn Tool

    in Miscellaneous

    Posted · Edited by Yusuf Zah

    Wow, this is simply great. Now people can run Burn,Dodge and whatever you mentioned in Paint.net. :)

    As the making feathered brushes here is a bit tricky, you can blur a black dot, run B&A and use custombrushesMini to make a brush. Although it may not be as good as yours. :(

    By the way, smudging is now possible with pyrochild's smudge tool. Simply run it on a layer and smudge whatever you want. Thank pyrochild for the smudge tool. :)

    Sharp said "And now your done! Comments/criticism/questions welcome."

    In that case I'll tell you the positives and negatives of your tut.

    Negative: I had done this tut without cloning from different star layers. Later, I saw a post telling to clone from different layers. So that was what was going wrong. I was going to abandon it...

    Positive: ...until I transformed into a dusty nebula. Overall your tutorial was good. Probably if I try again, I may make a nice starfield.

    Design: 9/10 :)

    Process: 5/10 (I am sorry Sharp, but that is my opinion. You said "Comments/criticism/questions welcome.")

    Inspiration 7/10 :) (At least, I made a nebula.)

    A question for you.

    Why don't you edit your tutorial and put the instruction to clone from different star layers?

    Jerry, have you tried making a mult-coloured nebula.

    Try this.

    To make a multi-coloured nebula follow these steps.

    1. Follow Jerry's tutorial but don't use colour filter.

    2. Above the nebula layer, create a new layer.

    3. Run Render>Multi-colored gradient. Select Linear.

    4. Choose any colours you would like and adjust the count so that it is the same as the number of colours you have chosen. Leave these settings default it you like.

    5. Set the gradient layer's blend mode to Color Burn; the nebula's to Glow and adjust the opacities to your liking.
