How to make better Static?

[RMSTITANIC]

I know the white noise is great and all, but what about trying to make this kind of static:

 

Yes, I know you can see Slenderman in it. I need to be able to make it in paint.net. I've tried other method's for static.. but haven't come to something like this. Also I don't want to use images online. -.- 

So how do I do that? 

[IRON67]

You could combine some layers with different variants of MultiSpline plugin, edited by adding Local Noise.

 

My fast test result:

 

 

Adding PolyGlitch Effect "Pixel Drag":

Getting closer... but I don't know if I have OCD or something, but for some reason I still want it to be more accurate.. but it's okay. 

P.S: Do you know of a white noise generator online where I can input the frequency in hertz I want? I'm trying to make a slender man game on scratch.. *looping sounds of a clip of getting caught in slender sounds horrible*

[RMSTITANIC]

Then again, are there any other ways of making static? I've used clouds, noise, crystallize, and motion blur, then embossed it at an angle of -90 degrees, and gotten this:

[RMSTITANIC]

I need administrator permission to move stuff into the effects folder. -.-

why... just.. why?

[RMSTITANIC]

How would I do this without plugins?

[IRON67]

Getting admin rights is really basic Windows stuff. If your Windows HELP isn't enough, Google should provide tutorials as text and video.

Because putting DLLs in the System isn't trivial for the security.

 

Without plugins it is nearly impossible. You have to use the inbuilt effects and I'm afraid that this is not satisfing you.

Darn. But... are there any ways using NO plugins?

*P.S: what about a static noise generator that I can input hertz in for the frequency?*

I don't know. I was never interested in such things und could only use Google for an answer and that can do yourself.

I have looked.. and looked.. and looked. To no success. -*ow something flew by in the sky.*-

I know what frequency to use to reproduce the noise: 9.1 KHz

But, I can't find anywhere I can put it in. How do I even a static sound in the first place?

There's more to an analog audio signal than just its frequency. Therefore, not all 9.1 Khz signals sound the same.

 

Anyways, what's with this audio stuff? I thought we were talking about images caused by static electromagnetic interference.

Visual noise?

 

[RMSTITANIC]

Well I'm saying I do need an image, but sound makes it even better.. and that's needed for my slender project.

[toe_head2001]

Considering that Halloween is now past, I've got an alternative slender project for you:  The Gym.

 

IRON67 gave you a pretty good answer for the image.  For the sound, you're better off asking an audio community; perhaps the Audacity Forum or the like.

What? Excuse me, but this is my current slender project:

https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/179808020/

And what do you mean by "The Gym"?

I know about the image, but, it uses installed plugins, and I would like this to be fresh paint.net.

Note the laughing emoticon; it designates a joke.

I assumed your Scratch project was for Halloween. Certainly fits the other creatures featured in the Halloween celebration.

A gym, as in a gymnasium. A place where a large man people can become a slender man, among other things.

Sounds extremely difficult and tedious. I wish you good luck with figuring it out.

[MadJik]

I'm working on a new noise plugin that could answer this request, somehow.

You need to use CodeLab to create the DLL.

BTW if you install paint.net outside a system folder you won't need admin rights to add dll... (C:\paint.net).

 

If you provide some links for the formula to apply for frequency, I could try to add it in the plugin.

@welshblue 

That's good enough for me! Also did you misspell "carp"? And no, I don't have a radio. 

@toe_head2001

Wrong type.

I'm talking this slender: The one that stalk's the woods, with his pages on trees and buildings and stuff, that has tentacles and is 9 feet tall.

Oh and he messes up electronic devices.

[RMSTITANIC]

Oh and @MadJik

The main frequency's are between 1-3 KHz.

bloody potato is not a bad word. I say bloody potato a lot. 

Like when I'm playing a game like.. idk.. slender the arrival

 

The Eight Pages chapter: 6/8 pages*

Me: oh god.. Where are the last pages at? I've been EVERYWHERE! bloody potato.. bloody potato.

*DUUUN* OH MY GOD NO NO NO NO bloody potato bloody potato CRAPITTY bloody potato CRAPITTY bloody potato bloody potato bloody potato bloody potato 

*runs looking down while the static grows thicker and the sound gets louder*

I'M RUNNING I'M RUNNING bloody potato NO NO SLENDY NO NOOOOOO-- *loses*

 

Yeah.

[RMSTITANIC]

Oh. Well I don't know about resolution. But... 96+ should do.

[MadJik]

BTW if I draw a model like this:

 

I could use my plugin to make this:

 

or this:

 

[RMSTITANIC]

The latter one is more accurate, as you can see by looking at the beginning portion of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vznmp2qnqc0

But, I would use another layer, because I can see you did a blur, and it blurs Him too.
