Popular Post NomBot 43 Posted November 15, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) I was looking for a plugin to create a box-fitting image and didn't see any, so I decided to try writing my own. And here it is. Would appreciate any suggestions on how it could be improved etc.. Controls: Max Box Size: Really the max possible size, the boxes tend to be much smaller .. Some interesting effects if size is very low. Reseed: Not that mysterious, just press to randomize the boxes until you get the effect you want. Stroke Color: The color outside the boxes. (Found under Artistic menu) New version!

Eli 1,129 Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) Thank you Nom Bot, Interesting effect. I wonder if a few options could be added such as: - minimum size of cubes - maximum size of cubes (bigger cubes) - number of cubes - line color - other shapes : circle fitting, Can you recognize my Rubix's cube? OOPS!. I forgot : Welcome to the forums! Edited November 15, 2016 by Eli Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NomBot 43 Posted November 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Thanks, everyone! Good to see people are finding uses for this thing ... Next version will have line color option (easy) and hopefully some way to control the size of the boxes (not so easy) Quote "No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream."

toe_head2001 1,792 Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 @NomBot, I see you've posted an update. It is customary to update the topic's Title to include the most recent Release Date and/or Version Number. That way people can see if there's an update (or not) without having to open the topic.

Pixey 4,816 Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Hello @Newcomer and Welcome to the forum As @NomBot hasn't logged in since 2017 I will try to answer your question. 1. You first download his plugin `~ unzip it and save to the Effects Folder in paint.net. 2. Import a picture (he used one with a head) 3. Then go to ~ Effects ~ Artistic ~ BoxFitting Good Luck!

Rick Brewster 1,757 Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Hmm ... newer versions of Paint.NET let you use the ColorWheel control that includes an alpha slider. Think this effect could be updated to use that? This is done by setting the min/max value of the Int32 property to min=Int32.MinValue, max=Int32.MaxValue. @BoltBait contributed this enhancement Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to post Share on other sites
