Ambreville Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Greetings, I'm interested in drawing a 3D cone, but can't find the right plugin for this. Is there one? Also, if I drew a cone seen directly from above, such as a tower's roof (basically a circle with a central point) how would I get the sort of shading that would convey the idea this is a conical shape? The conical gradient built into the basic Paint Net version doesn't quite work in this respect. I tried bevelling, but this produces more of a spherical cupola effect. Thanks!

Pixey Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Hello @Ambreville. Your best bet would be the Shape 3D Plugin. Good luck figuring out how to get the cone shape though - as there are quite a few dials to navigate Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

MadJik Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Hi @Ambreville You could use the gradient with conical mode, draw it vertical. Duplicate the layer and flip it vertical Cut half of the circle. 3 1 Quote My DeviantArt | My Pictorium | My Plugins | Donate via Paypal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoltBait Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 There are a couple of cone shapes in my custom shape pack: (I'm sure you have more skills than me and you're roof will look better. ) Install it from here: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/32048-boltbaits-plugin-pack-for-pdn-v406-updated-aug-16-2017/ 2 Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
