Popular Post MadJik Posted December 4, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) Melting distortion What's this? This effect is was a bonus in the bottom list of my pack of plugins without its post till now. This effect is a long lasting idea since I've created the gravity (effect...), still popping from time to time till I find a new approach. This effect takes the top of the selection and distort it like a melting candle. Download it! Plugin Melting.dll Here is the DLL http://jcljay.free.fr/pdn/Melting.zip The MadJik's All plugins package is available! http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?showtopic=7186 How to install Close Paint.net Classic version of Paint.net Unzip and (re)place the DLL in your Effect folder usually: C:/Program Files/Paint.NET/Effects Microsoft Store version of Paint.net Unzip and (re)place the DLL in your Effect folder usually: /My Documents/paint.net App Files/Effects/ You have to adapt for your language My Documents The User interface This plugin is added to the menu Effects, submenu Distort. Range In purcent of the height the length of the melting portion. % Sample length In purcent of the height the length of image used for the melting portion. Softness Lower value for extrem peaks higher values for smooth curves. Distortion / Number of phases Horizontal range/number of distortion/phases (phases are for the sinus curve method). Reseed Zero is for full random effect. 1 and more is the Start value of the random generator. It means you will always have the same result for the same value. Shadow -None -Black -White -White+Black -Black+White Add a vertical gradient at the limit of the range. Shadow length Set the length of the shadow. Both sides If checked apply a distortor below the range limit. Method -Sinus curve -Full random Select the calculation method of the distortion. The Examples: This texture used with Shape3D and some more work: Voilà! Enjoy! Let me see what you could do with it!

MJW Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Very interesting. I think, though, that it might benefit from an antialiiasing option, if that's possible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynxster4 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Just something I made real quick. This needs to be investigated more. I agree with MJW about antialiasing.

MadJik Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 @MJW and @lynxster4 Update (same link on first post) with a small quality check box. Usual antialiasing isn't efficient enough IMO... Started with gradients... 1 1 Quote My DeviantArt | My Pictorium | My Plugins | Donate via Paypal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMSTITANIC Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I can't find it! It's not in the distort menu. Quote I have my own slender game on scratch! Check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Paint.NET was running? Restart. I have just tested it. Its in the menu. Edited January 11, 2018 by IRON67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMSTITANIC Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I downloaded the plugin pack... and all the other plugins are there. Quote I have my own slender game on scratch! Check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRON67 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 So install it from the ZIP with the single DLL. That is an obvious idea, don't you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMSTITANIC Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Also I used the plugin pack installer. Quote I have my own slender game on scratch! Check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it seems for me, that you have done something wrong (forget to click in a checkbox or something) or your PC has a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeday Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) Small test with this plugin, the effect is universally usable. Good to combine with e.g. interlace. Great! Edited April 18, 2018 by lifeday 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
