GawkyOrpheus Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) Greetings. I like to make and edit minecraft skins but the online tool i use (https://www.needcoolshoes.com/) has its flaws and using paint.net would be much easier for me. Though, the tool has a feature it calls "Camo" where it changes the selected colour slightly when painting to give it a "Camo" effect (see attached) which looks way nicer than a flat color and sometimes a gradient would work I.E Flame. Is it possible to do such a thing? As you can see in attached the "flamearm.png" has a better texture to it then the "Magma V1.png" 's flat orange. Thank you and goodnight. Edit: "KnightV2.png" Is an example of how it can be used, The helmet, Tabard and Face have the effect it (as said above) has a better texture and looks nicer then if it were a flat colour.

Pixey Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Hello @GawkyOrpheus and Welcome to the forum Your posted images are very small, so I will be guessing that you are asking if there is a way to change an area, already colored, and give it a "Camo" effect? Does that mean camouflage? You would have to do it manually and be able to click on the pixels and use a plugin to try for that effect. I can think of a few you might find useful, like 'Noise' & 'Pixelate'. This may not be of any use, but I'll give you a link to a tutorial that shows how to work with small pixels: 1 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.

GawkyOrpheus Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 @Pixey Noticed "Noise" under "Effects". Thats pretty much what i was after, i was looking for it to be applied to the brush and not an after effect but i can still work with this. Thanks for you help.

Woodsy Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I don't know if it would help but if you hit the little arrow where it says fill it gives you a number of different textures that you can use with the paintbrush and a few other tools. 1 Quote My PDN Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GawkyOrpheus Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 @Woodsy Not really as i was asking if i could apply noise whilst drawing live instead of applying noise after i drew. Appreciate the help though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate the help though. For that, you need nondestructive editing. Alpha inheritance can also work. Krita for nondestructive editing or GIMP if you're ok with just alpha inheritance. Krita 4.2 NEXT is most compatible with PDN as it supports reflect, glow, negation, and xor with all other pdn modes. Once you're done in Krita doing noise painting, you can import the file back in PDN.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Can you use Brush Factory in combination with the Jitter setting? I'm sure a sparse "spray" type brush in a handful of appropriate colors along with JItter would produce what you want. 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...
