Popular Post Red ochre Posted February 3, 2016 Popular Post Posted February 3, 2016 Name: ArtyThing Description: Uses the 'tone gradient' (edges) of an image to render paths imitating various artistic media. Keywords: artistic, watercolour, oilpaint, pastels, pencils, crayon, sketch, outlines, craquelure, drawing, textures Menu: Effects/Artistic Original release date: 3rd February 2016 Author: Red ochre (John Robbins) .dll name: ArtyThing Compatibility: tested on Pdn 3.5.11 and Pdn 4.0.9 Artything is now in my new v10 pack here: Red ochre plugin pack v10 I wouldn't advise using it on images larger than 1000 pixels square and do be careful when increasing the repetitions, length and stride controls. I do advise saving all work before running it as some combinations of image and settings can cause it to take a very long time. However it is reasonably quick when used correctly. There are many examples below that will hopefully give you some ideas on how to use it. The more complex results (without the settings shown) are where I have run it on multiple copies of the original image in layers. Tip: Using the surface blur or Gaussian blur beforehand often gives good results. Please post your results in this thread... I haven't fully explored what it can do yet, so would love to see what you can come up with! 16 Quote Red ochre Plugin pack.............. Diabolical Drawings ................Real Paintings

Eli Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) Thank You again Red Ochre, This effect makes beautiful impressionist brush strokes... Edited February 3, 2016 by Eli 5 Quote
Red ochre Posted February 3, 2016 Author Posted February 3, 2016 Thanks for posting the image Seerose... you have a beautiful garden! Thanks Pixey - quite a psychedelic interpretation! - thanks for posting it. Yes that's my face ... it's tricky finding license free images to use as examples and probably kinder to experiment on my own ugly 'mush' than to inflict that on the innocent. Eli... Excellent result!!! Exactly the look I was trying to achieve. Glad you understood how to use it well so quickly. Great impasto effect, many thanks for posting the example.

lynxster4 Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) Wow Red...what an interesting plugin! It reminds me of Redfield plugins for Photoshop... I didn't get too crazy with this picture as I didn't want to lose my cat.....he's just 'chillin'... Thank you for making this plugin!

Red ochre Posted February 3, 2016 Author Posted February 3, 2016 Lynxster4 - Your cat looks very content! Thanks for posting the image. I've never tried the Redfield plugins but the results I've seen are impressive. Unfortunately writing plugins for PS is beyond me but very happy that it is encouraged in paint.net, thanks to Rick's foresight and all the other helpful programmers on this forum.TR! - many thanks! I've been playing around with this idea for ages but decided to use path gradient brushes instead of simple lines for more versatility.It was a challenge keeping the U.I. (relatively) simple with so many possible variables! Quote Red ochre Plugin pack.............. Diabolical Drawings ................Real Paintings

Red ochre Posted February 4, 2016 Author Posted February 4, 2016 dipstick - It seems wrong calling you that! I'm flattered you like my avatar ... I've gone back to the original version now.
