BoxFitting v1.1

[NomBot 42]

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! V1.1

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!

Having fun with this effect.

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)

Very clever!

Very interesting effect, NomBot!  I like it, too.

@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.

Tnx NomBot.

Really cool effect.

@Nombot how did you add the face?

[Pixey 3,654]

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!

Hi pixey I've seen you in other threads I'm just a day old here and a newbie artist Ive been looking for free softwares I could use in game design and Ive read that Paint dot net is quite good compared to vector types though I uninstalled it a couple of times before not knowing i would have much fun experimenting with its features LOL thank you for your help

1.5 Restart Paint.net  (otherwise the plugin won't show up in the Effects > Artistic menu)

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
