ChicaFlaquita Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Hey all! I have been a paint.net fan for at least ten years now but there is still so much to learn! I am exploring lots of distortion plugins looking for one that might render an effect similar to this image. It's a common 3D spiral tunnel optical illusion. Any ideas? Thanks!

Pixey Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Hi @ChicaFlaquita I note you joined in 2012 - Welcome back This is going to require the use of a few plugins, like Polar Transform and Droste. I don't have the time today, but perhaps tomorrow I could come up with something. Or, someone else may have some ideas.

HyReZ Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) In the Evan Oldes Effects is an effect called the '3D Object(beta)' that has a torus distortion feature that can be applied to a layer. Since the query for an effect sent in by ChicaFlaquita is basically a narrow vortex as it would be viewed from the interior of a torus; with a texture map layer made of black and white diagonal lines applied; a plugin could be developed. Evan provides the equation for producing the torus. Maybe some of Paint.NETS skillful plugin coders can turn the equation inside out to provide a solution? Then ChicaFlaquita can reward them handsomely for there efforts! 🙂 Edited March 3, 2020 by HyReZ added additional information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HyReZ Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) @TrevorOutlawA few plugins for Paint.NET use 3D rendering and apply layers as texture or bump maps and output back to a layer. One is the some of the effects in the G'MIC Effects plugin and another is the Shape 3D plugin. Edited March 3, 2020 by HyReZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Sorry @ChicaFlaquita I gave try to get anything like you asked for just using Shape 3D. Hopefully one of the Plugin developers can make us a Plugin that could do that 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.
