I would like to be able to recreate spherize effect in Paint.NET

[Reptillian]

 

What this effect is mapping a spherical deformation onto a image, the percentage represent the height at the center of the sphere. In Photoshop, the effect can be in reverse direction. I have yet to found a free solution to this. Not found in GIMP, Krita, or G'MIC either.

^ Shape 3D certainly has the most advanced features. If you're looking for a lightweight alternative, try...

 

Drumskin. Has no lighting/shadowing options - it just reformats the image:

 

or even Planetoid. This has minimal lighting/shadowing options.

I'm more interested in spherical len effect, not something that is usually done in 3d program.

Look in the Plugin Index (link in my signature) for plugins called Lens and Magnify

[Reptillian]

These I've tried, still not quite the same. My option seem to be using a 3D program as a work around to get the same effect.

Shape 3D is a plugin, not an external 3D program.

Hi @Reptillian 

Your best choice for now is (imho):

And if you have cold blood and coder fiber the source is available. -joking-

@MadJik Last night I was looking at that effect. But I did not download it because I saw RedOchre's error comment at the bottom. Did your updated.dll correct that error? 

[Reptillian]

I have attempted to replicate the effect on a 3D program, I think I am finding one thing. It appears the spherize works by not scaling the sphere, but rather lowering the elevation of a sphere, and lowering the y location of the sphere, and then scaling until it fits well, and finally apply reflection. That's probably how the the spherize effect in Photoshop works. For the reverse direction, it works in the reverse of this. 

[MJW]

For the forward version, try TR's Fish Eye Plugin. For the reverse, TR's Reverse Fisheye.

 

There's also my Texture Shader applied to a sphere with one of the Surface Offset mapping modes. For no lighting, use only Ambient lighting.

 

(I'm not sure why Shap3d with lighting turned off doesn't do what you want.)

 

[Reptillian]

The TR's Fish Eye was definitely the one I was looking for. Now, the reverse isn't what I'm looking for. But, I think TR"s Fish Eye can be manipulated to get the reverse direction as the source code is released there. In Photoshop, you have the option to do the reverse direction of spherize, not fixing it.

Here's some code I wrote a while ago (for some reason I can't recall) that may or may not help:

It works very well, I think this problem has been resolved.

[MJW]

Maybe I'll make an official release of that plugin.
