BoltBait Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 After having success with the Creative Text Pro plugin, I decided to give another of my plugins the "Pro" treatment... Object Shadow Pro v1.0 My goal in writing this plugin is to make this your "go to" plugin when it comes to making shadows no matter what kind of shadow you want. It can make 3 different kinds of shadows: your typical "drop shadow", a long modern shadow, and a 3D shadow. (See the screenshots for examples.) After using the Creative Text Pro plugin, use this plugin to add shadows to the lettering. This will really make it stand out! Remember, an "object" is a group of pixels on a layer that is completely surrounded by transparent pixels (or the edge(s) of the canvas). These are useful when doing "cutouts" or with text on a new, blank layer. If this plugin doesn't look like it is doing anything, you probably forgot to put your object on a blank canvas--white is NOT blank! Based on the check boxes you have selected, some controls will become unavailable. This is because they do not apply to the selected shadow type. Download NOTE: This requires Paint.NET v4.2.11 and beyond. This is now part of my plugin pack, you can download it there: Go There! Donate Once installed, look for it in your Effects > Object > Object Shadow Pro menu. Source Code Spoiler Haha. Nope. Enjoy. 3 4 Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveorg Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) I'm getting strange behavior. At first it looks like the plugin isn't working at all, but selecting Shadow Only changes the object to a transparent black. The attached png image has the original image next to a copy that has the Object Shadow filter run with the default settings and Shadow Only. I'm running the store version 4.2.14.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Is the original being run on an object (i.e. surrounded by transparency)?

AndrewDavid Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 @BoltBait Just an observation. Have you noticed ObjectShadowPro (ObjectShadowPro.dll) overrides ObjectShadow (ObjectTools.dll) when ObjectShadow is selected. If this is intended I can imagine the code that can be removed from ObjectTools.dll before your next update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
