Deathmetalmario Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Hello all, I'm new here and had a question. I do amateur death metal logos and most of them have a 3d effect in the middle. I was curious if Paint.net has a feature or plugin that would execute this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Brown Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Are you specifically talking about the 3D placement, the font or the outline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathmetalmario Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 Well I tried the search and could not find what i was specifically looking for, I apologize. And I was looking for the 3d placement, I have the font and outline ect... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathmetalmario Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 Well i was more or less looking for something to make the logo 3d, where it looks all jagged in the middle with shading. Sorry if I'm confusing, but if you look in the image and see that the middle of the logo is raised according to the edges, I was wondering if there is a plugin that will do that. If I'm not mistaken photoshop has it, but i like paint.net better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barkbark00 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Deathmetalmario, don't mind sabrown, he works in our 'useless suggestion' department... Here is what you can do: Write your text. Black text on white background, all on the same layer. Duplicate your image and set the top copy's blending mode to 'Screen'. Then, Gaussian blur the bottom copy 4-8 px. The amount will vary (thick text = more blur/thin text = less blur). Use the 'Stylize > Outline' effect on the blurred layer; Thickness = 4-8, Intensity = 100. Again, the settings will vary but you should be able to see the effect you are going for... EDIT: Wow! I skipped a step... After the outline step you need to run the 'Edge Detect' effect on that same layer. The angle setting determines the direction of the light source...

Mike Ryan Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Wow! A whole thread chock full of some of the worst minimoderation around! Barkbark gave the proper suggestion and Sabrown tried to help out, Reese50. There is a line between trying to help out users and being a 'goody-goody'. As well, this thread is quickly spinning into the hands of the . Moderators are not chosen because they know the rules up and down, but because they understand the program up and down and have the knowledge to aid users. Barkbark's reply (other than his Simon joke) is a great example of quality help. If Deathmetalmario requires no more assistance, then I request this thread be locked.
