my abstract background tutorial

[baalazmon]

so this tutorial will teach you how to make this

there are 32 steps, which is about 22 more than intended

you will need

tilinghttp://paintdotnet.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=22521

polar to rect http://paintdotnet.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=4173

first create your picture, the same size as your display

then select the circular gradient with whatever color you want

then make one in a corner going 1/2 the width of the image

duplicate that layer and flip it horizontally

duplicate the flipped one and flip it vertically, then duplicate that one and flip it horizontally

hit f4 and do negation blending on all of them

will end up like this

flatten it

invert the colors

cut half of it away with the rectangle select

and put it in a new layer

flip it horizontally and do negation blending

and voila

then go to relief and do it at 0, 90, 180, and -90

you should have this

then duplicate it and flip it

set layers to multiply

flatten it

then create a new layer and put a small circular gradient in the center

blend it with negation (i believe, forgot to take a pic)

invert the colors

then do the relief thing again at 0,90,180, and -90

use tile image with the settings shown in the picture

then polar to rect, with settings shown

and polar inversion with these settings

cut away half and put it on a new layer

flip vertically and overlay

flatten it, cut away half, put it on a new layer, flip the new layer vertically, and flatten

render clouds with these settings (also use gaussian blur a bit if you want to, like 1-3 at most)

polar to rect with these settings

polar inversion with these settings

and you are done

No, I don't think so. Please read the tutorial publishing guidelines. Thanks.
