Popular Post Ego Eram Reputo Posted May 7, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2016 Hi! Welcome to StickMan. A plugin which helps position & animate a stick figures like the ones above. The interface uses a simple click-n-drag system. You click and drag the stick figure's 'joints' around to move the figure. The segments' lengths remain fixed as a joint is moved so the entire figure can be moved by dragging a single joint (if you drag it far enough). Note: Stick figures are rendered to the active paint.net layer in the currently selected Primary color. Loading and Saving of your figures and poses is supported. Files are saved as *.stk files. These are not image files. They are XML data files which store the figure and pose. You can create your own stick figures! There is a guide in the PDF manual (Help > User Manual - once you access the manual a copy will be placed in your Effects folder). Edit: I've added the manual as a separate download as some systems have tight security settings which don't allow the automatic creation of the PDF from within the plugin. Stick figures can be anything you wish (within certain limits). How about a spider? Or a snake? StickMan Info Summary A plugin which helps position & animate a stick figures Author Ego Eram Reputo Installation Download my Plugin Pack and unzip it. Run the *.exe installer (written by BoltBait). Restart paint.net. Menu Look for the StickMan plugin in the Effects > Render menu. Compatibility StickMan works only with paint.net 4+ - or so I thought! @dipstick has confirmed that it (unexpectedly) works with 3.5.11. Manual StickMan comes with built-in guides and a manual in PDF format. See Help > User Manual. Once you access the built-in manual a copy will be placed in your Effects folder for future reference. EDIT: I've uploaded the manual as a stand-alone PDF. Get it here StickManManual.pdf Russian Translation @ReMake has translated StickMan (including the Manual) into Russian: Stickman_ru.zip Thanks ReMake! StickMan was made with the assistance of TechnoRobbo, Red Ochre and BoltBait Thanks guys! 13 Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Thanks EER, BoltBait, Red ochre and TechnoRobbo. StickMan has very sticky hands. After grabbing the head and making a few twirls the arms got together and it is impossible to separate them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynxster4 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Nice EER! It's just like a small executable called Pivot that I used to play around with. It also saves files as *.stk. Nice plugin!!

Pixey Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Hey Dude . Me having problems with Sticky Man . Can't get the Manual. It's saving as a .stk but pics not recognized unless one is actually in the Stick man itself.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 Eli: have you tried increasing the scale? It might give you some separation. If that doesn't work please save the figure and PM it to me. Seerose: Wonderful! Thank you. TechnoRobbo, Red Ochre & Boltbait: Thank you my friends! Lynxster4: I hope the file extension will not be a problem for you. I chose *.STK off the top of my head Flamer & Pixey: you can't open the manual because of the permissions set on the paint.net/Effects/ folder. Here's how to fix that... 1. Navigate to the paint.net installation folder. 2. Right click on the Effects folder > Properties 3. Click the Security tab. 4. Give yourself Full Control by checking the check box. 5. Apply this setting & click OK to exit. 3 Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRON67 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 (edited) I think, that the problems with the manual are a result of missing rights of PDN to write in the "Effects" folder. On my system the manual was created without problems. Oh ... some seconds to late.... Edited May 7, 2016 by IRON67 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 @Flaner: create an animated stick figure by rendering to successive layers. Each layer should contain the figure in a slightly different pose to create the illusion of motion. The layers can be animated (I.e saved) in the AGIF format with the Animated Image file type plugin. Once saved all you need to do is rename the file extension from agif to gif. *.STK files are data files not images. They contain XML data which StickMan parses to draw the figures. Iron67 - you are correct.

Pixey Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I did that and it still doesn't work . In the General Tab it says Read Only - is that OK?

Ego Eram Reputo Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 Highlight each of the entries in the top box of the Security tab dialog. One or more of them will have Full Control deselected. Click the Edit button to change the setting. Then Apply. Do that for each of the entries which don't have Full Control. Win 10 can be a bit if a pain in the security area. I've applied full control to nearly everything on my system Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMake Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Eli, select a point on one of the hand - it will help to separate hands after some rotation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red ochre Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 PixeyJust a thought - do you have both Paint.Net (3.5.11) and paint.net (4.0.9) installed?If so are you checking the permissions for the right Effects folder?... you probably are, as Stickman wouldn't shouldn't* work at all in the wrong folder. * see post 20 Quote Red ochre Plugin pack..............

Pixey Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 @EER's 2nd suggestion worked - all the entries in the Security dialog box had to be changed. 1 Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 ^^ Wow. I didn't expect that. Thanks for the info dipstick. Pixey: glad you got it working. I'll add the PDF manual to the first post in case others also have permissions trouble. In fact I can see I'll need to rewrite some of the first post. ReMake has begun a translation into Russian. I'll absolutely endorse it of course! Thanks ReMake.
