High Resolution Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) This is a plugin which helps you to create symmetric mandalas and mirrored pictures. It takes the upper right triangle(as shown in the first picture) as an input and mirrors it to the other ones. It only works for square images (image width = image height) currently! Download newest version here: Mandala Creator.zip To install just extract the zip and run the installer. It will be installed under effects in the subfolder Artistic. Example for 4 Mirror Option Results If you enjoyed this plugin and would like to support me, click this button: Thank you! Older Versions: Mandala Creator.zip (Version 1.0) Edited January 7, 2019 by High Resolution New Version! 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ego Eram Reputo Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Nice effect! Well done. I do think it would be worth it to give the user a warning if the canvas is not square, or render anyway and leave the overflow transparent. 1 Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doughty Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) @High Resolution I was unable to flip over an image of mine as you did with your lovely cat. So, I thought I could figure out why by using your cat above. Didn't get the same result. Can it be done?

I can't see how to do the 4 mirror option though. 🙂 There isn't really a 4 mirror option. The descriptions in the options are confusing. If you choose Mirrors = 1, it will result into the cat example on the plugin description. If you choose Mirrors = 2, it will Mirror your picture 4 times. Sorry for the confusions, should have named it mode 1 and 2 insted. Im not sure if this was your problem. If not you probably mean how to use mode 2. Just create a square image and draw something in the upper left triangle, like in the example and you will understand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
