Simon Brown Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Secure Download If you get a warning, try the unencrypted download. Have you ever been working on a tutorial in which you wanted to show transparency? Have you ever needed to save an image as JPEG or BMP but still wanted to show transparency? This render plugin draws a checkboard similar to the one shown in Paint.NET permanently to the layer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe_head2001 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Hey thanks man. That's actually pretty useful. It's faster than using the grid plugin. Isn't it called a checkerboard?

Myrddin Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Or chequerboard if you're a little European, as Simon is. Useful plugin as always, Simon, well done. Wait, is that a screenshot of the plugin at work?! Are you feeling okay, Simon?

Simon Brown Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 I'm re-releasing this under GPL3 - mostly as a test. I won't post on SourceForge to avoid bothering them, if enough people try to improve it i'll use my own site to organise it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrochild Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I'd offer up my SVN server as a place for the code to live, but that system's been gutted; its drives are all in other machines or dismantled, and it has no network card. No NIC = no server. I'm not entirely sure it even has a processor at the moment... Its OS drive is actually the one being used in this machine right now, unmodified, so it still has all the stuff it would need to act as a server, but this box has huge power-suckers of a GPU and CPU, not to mention the fact that it's liquid cooled and thus overclocked to hell*. It has a tendency to spin the meter, not to mention serve as a makeshift space heater. *Normally that works the other way around...

Simon Brown Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 I've moved it to Google Code. Remember that this is still an "experiment" of open source effect maintenance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 I've updated this to a more advanced version I had lying around. It's not a legacy plugin, but I don't think it's useful enough to go in my plugin pack. The new version isn't open source, although the old version is still on Google Code.

Spair Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I know you worked hard on this, but couldn't you just un-check all other layers or make a # of copies to make points on the 1 you're focusing on at a step?

Simon Brown Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 I know you worked hard on this, but couldn't you just un-check all other layers That won't allow you to save an image with a chequerboard in it. If you save as JPEG/BMP or use software that doesn't show a chequerboard you'll just get a white/normal background. or make a # of copies to make points on the 1 you're focusing on at a step? I don't understand this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spair Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I don't understand this. @ any particular step in a tutorial, you may be making a point focusing on 1 part of the image(e.g. a source image), then you may be focusing on various effects applied only to a part of the image, or only to a certain layer. For each of those steps, you might make a different copy of that work, which is all layers & times before & after effects & adjustments are made; & for each of those steps you might save a copy featuring only the part of the image you're focusing on & a transparent layer. But That won't allow you to save an image with a chequerboard in it. If you save as JPEG/BMP or use software that doesn't show a chequerboard you'll just get a white/normal background. Thank you for clearing that up. Quote I wish we'd all been ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
