Make a "Wave" with Paint.NET

[FireFly]

I have trouble expanding on the basic ideas in the tut. I see all of these great ones, then look at mine, which is very basic. That is one thing I need to work on

[Crazy Man Dan]

I like this effect. Quite nice, and very simple.

5 / 5 on the Mountain Dew-o-Meter: :mtdew: :mtdew:

Full Size (1280 x 800)

After the steps of the tutorial are finished, you can toy around with Curves, Brightness and Contrast, and Hue and Saturation adjustment to color it. You could use the Edfects Color Filter effect to colorize it as well. Contrast is one of the big things, I've found, as it adds dynamic range to the color palette of the image. Mine up there also used the Glow plugin to add an ethereal air to the composition.

I got two Clouds plugins. What one do I use because so far i can't get this to look 3D like the rest of you guys.

The :Clouds: one.

[Caliph]

Ok well, I just started using paint. I've manage to find the Clouds under the "Effects" tab, but thats mostly it.

Maybe if you gave a little bit more of a descriptive tutorial on how to make this? If so, Thanks!

[Taijutsu Kunoichi]

Oh man this is so cool!

[Caliph]

I'd love to figure out how to do this, Can anyone help me?

[Crazy Man Dan]

Uh... Did you try following the steps as listed in the tutorial?

Or are you referring to expanding the concept into a design as what you need help with?

Caliph, here is Europe's original instructions with some step-by-step screenshots to help you.

1. New Image (I’ve took 500x500)

2. Clouds

3. Repeat Clouds (Modus Difference)

Your image should now look like this:

4. Pencil Sketch (Size 20, Range 20)

Your image should now look like this:

5. Zoom Blur (100)

Your image should now look like this:

6. Twist (Twisting amount 20, Quality 5)

Your image should now look like this:

7. Duplicate Layer

8. Twist (Twisting amount -40, Quality 5)

9. Set Layer Mod to Lighten

10. Flatten Image

Your image should now look like this:

11. Open Curves and colour the image

12. Save

13. Finished

Hope this helps.

Pascal,

Try searching the 'Plugins' section of the forum.

This contains links to many effect plugins that are not part of the PDN core program, plus instructions on how to download and install them.

There's also a direct link to the Waves plugin in my tutorial for Curved Tile Texture

[MadJik]

Hi alone!

Are you looking for a plugin? So, click on the paint.net logo to go to the index of this forum. Then select the sub-forum plugins. You should find all most recent (or active) plugins on the first page.

If you make a gray one, it looks like you are looking down a tornado.
