mgysgtdev Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 hi, i am trying to create custom license plates for a game that is high quality. i am wondering since a license plate has the numbers stamped into it. is there a plugin or a way to create this effect?

toe_head2001 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I think the Emboss effect is what you're looking for. Quote (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts.

Welsh Yellow Cheddar Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Hi, I tried to create a license plate a few days ago and used the Normal Map Plus plugin to create the emboss effect but could not get the metal shine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Hello @mgysgtdev and Welcome You will have to make it from scratch. Here is a tutorial which may help. It's made in an older PDN but it will work with newer versions, if you have the correct Plugins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOR9UY5lBmw&t=198s There is also a great Plugin for text with many variations: Creative Text Pro v1.1 - By BoltBait and Welshblue - Updated February 16, 2020 - Plugins - Publishing ONLY! - paint.net Forum (getpaint.net) 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.

MJW Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 There's always my Texture Shader plugin, which was designed for that sort of thing. (I admit that the learning curve is steeper than for most plugins.) The height map for raised lettering would generally be created by starting with white letters on a black background and then applying a blur. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
