Humility Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Is there a plug in that is like a reverse Bevel Object? That makes things pop in instead of out? You know like uh if you bevel object a circle, it will make it look like a sphere. But if you reverse Bevel Object a circle it will make it look like a depression. And I can't provide a visual example of what I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJW Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Because light normally comes from above, in most cases beveling will look indented if the bright area is on the lower side and the dark area on the upper side, and raised if the bright area is on the upper side and the dark area on the lower side.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Turn your object 180 degrees and apply the standard bevelling. Then turn it back. This is how I make the concave center of these buttons. 2 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 June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) I used Drop Shadow and Blur effect to create the inside shade in the first ball and then used Bevel object : Edited June 23, 2017 by Eli 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewDavid Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I just make a GIF for that "pop out" look following @Ego Eram Reputo 's suggestion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ego Eram Reputo Posted June 24, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2017 Mini-tutorial on my dished buttons: 1. open a reasonably sized, single layer canvas - I generally use the default 800x600 (NB: it doesn't have to be square). 2. fill the entire canvas with your base color. 3. open Effects > Render > Shape3D. 4. change the Depth Radius to around 0.3. This gives the button a nice domed appearance. 5. turn on Antialiasing. Level 4 or 5 is perfect to eliminate the rough outer rim. 6. increase the Strength of Light to 1.2 7. change the Specular Highlight to 0.1 8. hit Ok. 9. duplicate the layer. 10. the upper layer should be selected. If not, select it. 11. press Ctrl+Shift+Z to open the Rotate/Zoom dialog 12. hold Shift down while you drag the outer roll control to the 180 degree position. 13. reduce the zoom to around 0.8 14. if required, use the pan feature to recenter the reduced image. You could use Align Object, but I'm lazy and just eyeball it. 15. hit OK 16. apply Effects > Blurs > Gaussian Blur on the upper layer at radius of 25 or so. 17. flatten and save, 1 9 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 June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I love EER's method and the result is spectacular but I could not reproduce it on irregular shapes. This is the best I could do using the method I used before : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewDavid Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I came across another way to do an inside bevel I thought I would share. @Humility Is this more to the target effect you were looking for? @Ego Eram Reputo Does this look right to you? Does it create the effect of an inside bevel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 No, I'd call that an outer bevel. It's more of a drop shadow.
