This is what is meant when someone tells you to start with a transparent background . name this layer A 2) add another transparent layer :AddNewLayer: and name this one layer B 3) under effects>render>equations I have marked the places you need to change the rest leave at the default settings, " remember you also should change color to white at the spot I indicated". hit OK 3) after you have made the equation on layer B make two duplicates of this equation layer :DuplicateLayer: twice...... for simplicity sake rename them as layer C and layer D time to layer check ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "Apply the Jitter" 4) you will now use effects>distort. jitter on each equation layer. BUT at different settings. layer B layer C layer D +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "Apply motion Blur" 5) On layer D only effects>blur>motion blur +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Background Layer A bucket fill with black +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ image flatten ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ sound wave picture ============================================================== ============================================================= change up.... make a bit different...... use a different equation ....... change any of those red numbers have fun.

Crimson Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Finally, something that uses Equations. I thought I was the only one who ever used that plugin (I used it in the PI Spirit image in my gallery.)

oma Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 its an often overlooked plugin but very effective in certain type of situations. I've a few other little gems that use this same plugin when I've a bit of time I'll do a few little pictures in my gallery. :wink: Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cazaron Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 i fooled around a little. i modified ur tut (which is very good by the way) used glass blocks and gradient bars instead of jitter.

oma Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 excellent. I just love it when someone manages to take a basic tut to new levels. This shows you all have grasped the power there is in this program. @cazaron excellent use of the tut and wonderful additional effects ciao Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goonfella Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Nice tut.This is the first time I`ve used Equations for anything.I always wondered what it could be used for. I decided to add a bit of colour to the sound wave . After the image was flattened I added a new layer,chose a colour,secondary colour Alpha - 0 followed by a linear gradient. After choosing a blending mode I flattened and repeated the process with a different colour. This one is going in my gallery.

Wakizeki Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I used multiple different colors when making this one and split the wave into two pieces and angled them facing back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
