Popular Post Pixey Posted July 17, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 17, 2018 The only Plugins required to make this 'Crumpled Paper Texture are already part of Paint.net. The Gradient and the Emboss Tools (I made this after a request was made here for crumpled paper.) Two Examples 1. Have the blending mode on Difference. 2. With the Gradient set to Linear, pull the gradient sideways (repeatedly) on the canvas. 3. Switch the gradient to Diamond and continue. 4. Alternate the gradient between Linear and Diamond. 5. Go to the Effects and pick Emboss, then set an angle to your liking. 6. Go to Adjustments and choose Brightness & Contrast. 7. Crop the final canvas to remove any rough edges. 8. There is also a Plugin called Page Curl that you can also use.

MJW Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 You can also set the Gradient tool's blend mode to Difference, which gives less control, but is easier, since it can all be done on one layer. You might also try using the Texture Shader in place of Emboss. To eliminate the graininess when the Texture Height is large, you can first smooth it with the Texture Smoother. Running Surface Blur prior to the Texture Smoother is sometimes useful to reduce the amount of smoothing needed. The potential disadvantage to smoothing is that it rounds the creases. In some cases that's desirable, in others it's not. One other suggestion. It's sometimes useful to use the Gradient tool in the the Reflected or Diamond modes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixey Posted July 21, 2018 Author Share Posted July 21, 2018 Nice curl effect @Seerose It's funny, because I thought of the curl plugin just after I'd posted the examples.

lynxster4 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Very interesting technique to get this effect, @Pixey I may have used too many 'diamonds', but it still looks okay. No two crumpled papers will ever be the same! I like it!

ScrapbookWithPDN Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 This is a good and very useful tutorial. I think I found something close to this about 2 years ago from another editing program. I kinda sorta adapted it to PDN, in numerous steps, but yours was done so precisely, in far fewer steps, and for the newer versions of PDN. This is a very useful tutorial. Thank you for making it. This is THE MOST organized I have ever been with PDN in saving tutorials, written and videos, of current stuff and, if applicable, older info. Previously, I'd have one or two file folders, maybe, with some stuff thrown in there but after ShapeMaker, lol, and the last few updates of PDN, I take this bad boy super seriously now. I've gotten fairly good with GIMP, but, with almost all things, I can do it with PDN in a far less complicated environment. PDN is a powerhouse more so now, much better with higher DPI work, too, at least for me, or maybe I'm just performing better. Also, I'm blown away with how fast PDN opens up and is ready to go, not just opens then waits to gather its thoughts and then you can use it, but it's as fast as blinking, and I have mine loaded with plugins and shapes. It's not like I'm on some kind of super expensive computer, either. Just a semi decent so so processor that was on sale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted January 8, 2019 Author Share Posted January 8, 2019 @ScrapbookWithPDN so sorry I didn't respond to your comment sooner 😱. Spankies for me 😂. I'll bet you saw the same 'other' tutorial that I did, which gave me the idea to reproduce it in Paint.net 🌞.
