KenM Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Is there a crochet or knitted effect for Paint.NET? The idea is to load load an image and then apply the effect, and get something resembling the attached pic. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewDavid Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Hi @KenM Welcome to the Forum. Although I am not one of the experts I can make a suggestion to get you on the right track. I don't think there is a one stop plugin that will do your work for you. Your task can be divided into 2 steps. The first step is to import your image into a layer. The second step would be to import your crochet pattern into a layer below your image. There are many ways of creating your own patterns or capturing one from another source image. It's just a pattern. Change your image layer to overlay and if your crochet pattern is black and white - you should get the effect you are looking for. Let us know if this works. Other members might have better suggestions than I. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadJik Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Hello @KenM Could you provide one or two samples you want to transform? Edit: I make a test (not a plugin): Before / after The right image is 40x50 = 2000 cells, with 434 single colors. 1 Quote My DeviantArt | My Pictorium | My Plugins | Donate via Paypal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionsDragon Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) Hello @KenM and welcome! I did come up with a way to create individual crochet stitches in Paint.Net and then turn them into a repeating pattern...let me tinker with this for a bit and see if I can get this to work as a texture for you. Edit: what do you think? I left the stitches deliberately large for visibility, but you'd want to make them smaller to make it more realistic. I can upload the mask and/or write a tutorial, if anyone's interested. Edited October 11, 2017 by LionsDragon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionsDragon Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Tried again, making the stitch effect smaller for realism: You could also use things like TGMagnitude or Relief to amplify the texture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dipstick Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 You can overlay a pattern over the image like this example: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
