flip Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 If you use the Half Sphere map and increase the depth radius, it turns out okay. Or you can use the lens plugin. Quote Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamer_World14 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 How do you make a sun? I can't find any good tuts... how to make a sun in photoshop. From there, you can search for tutorials, and then try figuring out how to re-create it in PDN. Quote deviantART | Paint.NET Gallery | bennettfrazier.com <-- (My new Website!)

LibbyH Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I also like the effect of the planet tut with oranges and yellows, and then use dents to texture it. Quote My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flip Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 I'm going to re-do this tutorial. I've found a lot of different ways to make textures, and better 3d effects. Quote Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theonlychad Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 The tutorial is pretty good as is .

flip Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 I don't think it's very good. If it was good, it would get a lot more attention. Quote Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midgetalien Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 dont put yourself down man! I think its great! I use most of it as a base for all my planets. Yes i have picked up/learnt/made up new techniques to amplify my planets but at the core if it i use your tutorial Quote My Gallery|MyDeviantart|My Earth Texture Tutorial|Paint.net Chat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarubotai Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 That is a really nice tutorial but i am facing some difficulties despite that... i really dont get how to make the inner and outer glow on the planet you mentioned to blur the inner layer but i really want to know what kind of blur and to which part of the picture because when i do the blur and then delete the selection nothing happens ( it doesnt get that good inner glow) thnx and sry if this isnt where you post questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flip Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 You :GaussianBlur: it. Fill in OUTISDE of the planet, and then select the outside and delete it... Quote Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarubotai Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 i am guessing that is Guassian Blur because apparently i dont have that kind of icon :? it still isnt turning out... well i guess it's just me thnx for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flip Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 Post a screenshot on what you're getting, and maybe I can help more. Quote Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PancakePaint Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 i am guessing that is Guassian Blur because apparently i dont have that kind of icon :? yeah it's gaussian blur. It changed because of the new update, 3.51... and all the icon graphics changed. Quote Using Paint.net for 5 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarubotai Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 ok here is it ops they are backwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flip Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 When you blur the outside of the planet, you don't want anything selected. After it's done blurring, select the outside of the planet and press delete on the blurred layer. Make sense? Or more clarification.

sarubotai Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 ah! thnx that made more sense. i guess i was getting confused with what i select and maybe there made my mistake. yet... i still couldnt get throught the full tutorial (i never really follow tutorials to the end because i dont get similar results) so i tweeked it (like i always do with other tutorials) and this is what i got :Down: i just messed with the layer options and the color thin Really a brilliant tutorial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flip Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 Thanks. Now that you got the technique down, how about you try different textures and stuff. Quote Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PancakePaint Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I'm not getting the same results. What do you draw/put before you zoom blur?? Quote Using Paint.net for 5 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flip Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 Well, I draw a blob with a bunch of different colors and use the the align object plugin to put it in the middle. Then use zoom blur deluxe a bunch and move it to where I want. Quote Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PancakePaint Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Ok I got it. I made it glow after and it looked awesome. Quote Using Paint.net for 5 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinitym Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Hi, I tried this and here is my result - I had some trouble with the glow part. For some reason I didn't really understand it, but I think I was having several stupid moments. I shall have another go later and see if I can do any better.
