lynxster4 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I run at 125% DPI. Is it possible to make the plugin window expandable?

Perhaps you already know/realized this, but the Phenom II series doesn't have AVX either. It was wasn't added until the FX series.

Sorry for any confusion, an installer will sort these kind of issues out... @HyReZI'm interested to hear what kind of performance you get with it, I might need to add another lower-res option for interactive mode, or make the full-res preview trigger less often... I'm really keen to keep the iteration time down because I think it feels more fun to play with if you get near-immediate visual feedback.

AndrewDavid Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 @ishani Successfully installed but ...... At 1360 X 768 the plugin does not fit the screen. No save or exit buttons displayed. The only way out is Task Manager. I can move the screen beyond the edges but the buttons still do not appear. running Win10 1903. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A re-scalable plugin window would solve the problem (l asked about it in one of the above posts). Is this possible @ishani? I have the opposite problem. My plugin window is too small.

ishani Posted May 11, 2019 Author Share Posted May 11, 2019 Resizeable UI is on the list, but probably will come after the first release. I had targeting 1920x1080 and up for the current release. FWIW, you can click and drag any grey area on the UI to move the panel so even if it's overflowing the screen you can find the cancel/render buttons (or use ALT-F4) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HyReZ Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I just complete this graphic where I applied a few of the Genesis Plugin effects: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ishani Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 Alpha 3 is posted; this version comes with both the AVX (for CPUs > 2012ish) and Generic (anything else) rendering engines, both of which have also had some further optimisation. A new interactive preview mode has been added that runs at 1/8th resolution to help keep things smooth. The UI has been tidied up a bit and some new mask clipping options added. Hopefully the HiDPI font scaling should be fixed. I'm going to focus on documentation / video tutorials next, and probably punt it out to the main publishing forum after that. The major bits of engineering beyond that will be resizable UI and some limited undo or checkpointing. Thanks for those who have helped poke at it so far!

ishani Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 While I'm writing up some docs/videos, here's a simple image set to play with if you want to experiment with masking but find it a bit confusing. Load the flower into PDN, fire up Genesis and click the "Load Mask" button And then load the .TIFF file provided. You can load some effects and see how it behaves - try setting the Mask Clipping value under Output to [INNER] .. and see what you can find... mask_example_flower.zip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynxster4 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 @ishani Does it have to be a .TIFF file for the mask? Can pngs be used? Thanks.

I should also mention - most if not all buttons & sliders have tooltips that can help decode what's going on in lieu of full documentation. Hover over the slider labels for the tips. You can pull a mask in from PDN, load it from a file on disk, paste it from the clipboard or turn a PDN selection into a B&W mask - those 4 buttons under the mask banner will take care of that.

Pixey Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 @ishani Many thanks for the explanation on how to use the Mask - very useful indeed and I'm sure there is still a lot more to learn from you 2 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.

lynxster4 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Loving this @ishani! Very interesting how the mask can be used in different ways. Different layers using Genesis and added drop shadow for a finish. 1 Quote My Art Gallery | My Shape Packs | ShapeMaker Mini Tut | Air Bubble Stained Glass Chrome Text with Reflections | Porcelain Text w/ Variegated Coloring | Realistic Knit PatternOpalescent Stained Glass | Frosted Snowman Cookie | Leather Texture | Plastic Text | Silk Embroidery Visit my Personal Website "Never, ever lose your sense of humor - you'll live longer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guardian820 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 your plugin still has a trouble scaling, I tried several ways to correct the screen size and it still doesn't work. https://ibb.co/44XRJt5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
