deb10042 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) After a long time usage of the "effects > render > Shape3D" function in paint.NET, it now stopped working after one of the recent software updates. Up to then, I was using the function like this: - open an image - resize it - press menu "effects > render >Shape3D" - in the lower status bar of the Shape3D configuration window press "XML" - then "Load" from a separately stored xml-file with my personal Shape3D-settings - go on with further editing or store the rendered image file Now, using current version 4.0.17 (4.17.6411.1908), the software crashes as soon as I try to select "Load" or "Save" from the "XML" menu in the Shape3D plugin. A crash log file is attached to this posting. I am posting this in the troubleshooting section, as it appears to be an issue with paint.NET, not within the plugin. As long as I enter my Shape3D settings manually, everything seems to work fine... but it is really hard to reenter these settings all over again each time, I want to use them. Can you help me and advise, how to come around the XML-load-save-issue? - pdncrash.1.log Quote Application version: paint.net v4.0.17 (Final 4.17.6411.1908) Time of crash: 28.07.2017 12:29:16 Application uptime: 00:00:14.9210000 Application state: Running Working set: 138.464 KiB Handles and threads: 839 handles, 39 threads, 261 gdi, 382 user Install type: Classic Application directory: C:\Program Files\Grafik\Paint.NET Current directory: C:\Program Files\Grafik\Paint.NET Install directory: C:\Program Files\Grafik\Paint.NET AppSettings storage handler: RegistryStorageHandler OS Version: 6.1.7601.65536 Service Pack 1 Workstation x64 .NET version: CLR 4.0.30319.42000 x64, FX 4.6 Processor: "Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6300U CPU @ 2.40GHz" @ ~2496MHz (2C/4T, DEP, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4_1, SSE4_2, XSAVE) Physical memory: 7603 MB Video card: Intel(R) HD Graphics 520 (v:8086, d:1916, r:7) Hardware acceleration: True (default: True) UI animations: True UI DPI: 96,00 dpi (1,00x scale) UI theme: Aero/Aero + DWM (Aero.msstyles) Updates: True, 28.07.2017 Locale: pdnr.c: de-DE, hklm: de-DE, hkcu: de-DE, cc: de-DE, cuic: de-DE Flags: Exception details: System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'PaintDotNet.PdnInfo' from assembly 'PaintDotNet.Resources, Version=4.17.6411.1908, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. at Shape3D.EffectPluginConfigDialog.load_button_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem.RaiseEvent(Object key, EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripMenuItem.OnClick(EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem.HandleClick(EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem.HandleMouseUp(MouseEventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip.OnMouseUp(MouseEventArgs mea) at System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripDropDown.OnMouseUp(MouseEventArgs mea) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmMouseUp(Message& m, MouseButtons button, Int32 clicks) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripDropDown.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam) Edited July 28, 2017 by BoltBait Added part of crash file to message itself.

LionsDragon Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I've run into this same problem. Unfortunately, the developer lost the source code and does not currently have time to rework it (he also doesn't speak English and doesn't trust online translators entirely). This is one of my favorite plugins, so I'm thinking of teaching myself to code so it can stay updated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 @Ego Eram Reputo might have a solution coming for Shape3D 2 Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I have been working on the Shape3D plugin. Unfortunately the Photobucket debacle got in the way. A solution will be forthcoming. Hold on. Until I find a solution, Shape3D works fine so long as you don't try to load an XML file. Copy down the critical settings so you can manually input them. 1 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...

Ego Eram Reputo Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 The project is large and complex so I have my work cut out figuring where everything should go.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I've updated the Shape3D DLL to fix the load/save XML problems. Couldn't have done it without @Rick Brewster and @toe_head2001 who helped enormously. Honestly, much of the code is still beyond me 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 August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Thanks for the update. I just noticed that some dust/pixels is generated (I had a gradient on the layer). Is this normal? The dust goes away when I use "Anti-Alias". Spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those specks appeared in MTK's original release, so it's not a new issue. Quote (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts. I am aware of the issue.
