maxgoof Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I want to attempt to place a human figure in an existing picture, and put a shadow on the floor to match the others shadows already there. My method starts out with duplicating the layer with the figure, turning it black, doing a gaussian blur on it. I want then to skew it, so it matches the plane of the floor and the angle of the other shadows. Roll/Rotate works pretty much, except the feet will no longer match up. Is there a skew plug in?

maxgoof Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 I don't know the process when it comes to programming a plug in, but all one has to do is approximate the selection with a rectangle. You then shift each row of pixels over based on the horizontal skew angle. You then shift each column of pixels up or down based on the vertical skew angle. What is so hard about that? I mean, if MS Paint can do it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubrica Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 People always appear to forget the oblique plugin. I can't find the link at the moment, I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarkut Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I think that Oblique is one of MadJik's plugins. In any event, it's been more than 4 years, maxgoof may have lost interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
