Zneggalz Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Hey, I'm trying to see what I can use to take an image that is a circle or loop, and straighten it into a line. I've looked around on here for anything, but haven't had any luck so far. Any ideas, or is what I'm trying to do not possible/complicated/<insert verbiage here I can't think of at the moment>? Uploaded image I'm trying to manipulate for visual necessity as I know I can be confusing when I try to explain something, even IRL... <facepalm x1000> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I think there is a plugin called Polar to Rect. Check the plugin forum. EDIT: Sorry, the plugin is no longer working... https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/8677-illnab1024s-plugins-v11/ Try this one: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/9364-polar-transformations-plugin-ymd100718/ Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zneggalz Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 Hadn't thought of that- tried since I had it in the plugin pack already, and it's a line... but still wavy. So now I'm stuck again on how to straighten the resulting wave... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 This is as straight as I could get it with shape 3D. Delete the black background first, then use AA's Assistant. < click for larger > Then you can cut off the straight bit afterwards 😄 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.

Vagabondi Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) 1. Run Polar Transformation (Angle - 60, Scale 200). 2. Use Paint bucket from the Tool Panel (color Black) to "restore" the black background. 3. Run Liquify from @pyrochild's plugin pack. Make Size about 150 and straighten the line manually, it is easy and takes a few seconds.
