oma Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 you need to update your plugins manually they do not auto update when you updated the Paint.Net version to 3.36 here is the link. to Pyrochild"s most current plugin pkg viewtopic.php?f=16&t=21706&st=0&sk=t&sd=a Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goonfella Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Thanks. I was not sure if it was an updated version or not. As soon as I have time I`ll get it sorted. :wink: Quote Please feel free to visit my Gallery on PDNFans And my Alternatives to PDN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oma Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 you do know there are always workarounds. the bars plugin you have can be used, but it is better to upgrade. the way to use the one you currently have is to rotare the layer using the right mouse button until your leave is at an upright angle, or just draw the leave in an upright position. but really strongly suggest you update the plugin you will open many new avenues for your work to progress in. ciao look forward to seeing how you make out with making a leaf.

Goonfella Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Well I`ve finished `making out' with my first palm leaf and here is the result. Hope you like it. If you can see anything I might have done better or differently please say so. The one thing I did do different was with the stem.I instead of using the Bevel plug in I drew a thin white line along the top of the stem and used Gaussian blur on a low setting.

Goonfella Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Thanks very much. I did curve a couple of leaves but not too much so as to spoil it. Quote Please feel free to visit my Gallery on PDNFans And my Alternatives to PDN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oma Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 yes that's the best way, when you do a tree you only need to bend a few on each branch , too much and it will look like a dust storm is brewing up. :wink: I think in this situation less is definetly better than more.

Pixey Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Wow OMA - that's an amazing tutorial (thanks) which taught me to use things I didn't know were possible with Paint.NET. Unfortunately I could not get the 'bend' to happen on the leaves Perhaps on my next attempt!

EscapistAngel Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 go, Oma, go Absolutely one of the best tutorials I've seen! Took the idea a bit farther.. Everyone is getting unbelievably fine results :shock: But eeeeh.. Opinions on this one? Quote Please forgive my possible complaints.

oma Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 Wow OMA - that's an amazing tutorial (thanks) which taught me to use things I didn't know were possible with Paint.NET. Unfortunately I could not get the 'bend' to happen on the leaves Perhaps on my next attempt! you've done a fair job on that as a beginner. try some other tuts now and then come back. The bend portion is about the most unbegginner friendly item here. Its all where you place that x in the bulge or how you position your circle outline for power stretching. It takes practice but you are off to a real nice start in drawing. Remember this tut is to give you the basics only. It mainly teaches how to wand outside your outline drawing so you don't get cartoon outlines on things. That's the real secret to getting more realistic drawings. go, Oma, go Absolutely one of the best tutorials I've seen! Took the idea a bit farther.. Everyone is getting unbelievably fine results :shock: But eeeeh.. Opinions on this one? well I don't think this is eeeeh at all. reminds me of a bunch of little christmas trees....lol! I think what you are not seeing is the little tiny stems on the individual leaves where they join to the bigger middle stem. you are off to a fine start on drawing. glad you liked my little tut. I don't write many of them... but do often put little notes in with my pictures in my gallery, when I'm asked how did I do something. welcome to you both will be watching for some fine art from you both. ciao OMA Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvgraphics<3 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Hi I'm a nwebie to Paint.Net and I was wondering when you get to add the gradient where do you clcik I clcik where it says but it doesn't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oma Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 sorry didn't notice yu asked a question till this morning. now are you speaking of the first fill green gradiant? there are several reasons this could be happening. 1) you've wand outside the leaf shape and have not then hit control + i (inverted your selection) 2) you may have the :AlphaChannel: set when it should be :AllColorChannels: 3) check your colors if you are using same color as the background it will not show up. 4) check you haven't set any colors as transparent opacity last don't laugh now anyone I did this when I first started. 5) my selection was correct on correct layer but I just cliked the two buttons and thought it would fill automatically with the gradiant. you need to position your cursor where you want the one color to start left clik and drag your mouse in the direction the gradiant is to go. off hand those are the things I can think of If you check all of these things and its not still working upload a picture of your screen at the point where you clik the gradiants. I'm not sure what it is. ciao OMA Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvgraphics<3 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Hi it worked thanks! But when I look under render for grandient bars it isn't there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oma Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 that would be because it is an additional plugin written to go with the basic Paint.Net. this tut requires 3 plugins. I've added the links in the first part of the tut so you can find these add ons. also there is a link about how to add plugins that I added. you should read that entire thread. I know I know its a lot of reading when you want to just jump in and make things. beleive me it will make your useage of this program a lot easier if you read those things first. Understanding will give you a better chance at making exceptional art. ciao OMA Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Lol...second tut I've done since joining. My leaf looks so realistic, thanks. Didn't know I could do stuff like this. :shock: You are awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
