Disk4mat Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Hopefully I have the right thread. Not sure if I was allowed to use preexisting pics Ive done with the defined effect in the rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynxster4 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 'Don't violate copyright laws with found images; links to source images would be courteous.' You're fine @Disk4mat. Great job on your entries. After I posted this topic, I realized mosaic or tesserae wasn't the most ideal plugin to use on such a small canvas! 🙄 1 Quote My Art Gallery | My Shape Packs | ShapeMaker Mini Tut | Air Bubble Stained Glass Chrome Text with Reflections | Porcelain Text w/ Variegated Coloring | Realistic Knit PatternOpalescent Stained Glass | Frosted Snowman Cookie | Leather Texture | Plastic Text | Silk Embroidery Visit my Personal Website "Never, ever lose your sense of humor - you'll live longer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disk4mat Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Thank you so much! I think the plugins work very well to produce some really nice effects. Makes me want to experiment making some tileable images at 256x256 and 512x512 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manc Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Hi @lynxster4 and @MJW I'm having trouble installing this plugin. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynxster4 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 @Manc Download the zip file from MJW's plugin page. Put the DLL file into the effects folder of PDN. Restart PDN. It will be under EFFECTS-->COLOR-->Hot Metal Glow.

Manc Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Thanks @lynxster4 I'm pretty much sure I already did that. But just tried again and it worked. Thanks.🙃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynxster4 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I think it may also be time to take a break from the SOTW. Until further notice, as the entries have dwindled, it's down to just two of us. It can always be started again if people begin to show interest. Many thanks to those who have participated in the past. 2 Quote My Art Gallery | My Shape Packs | ShapeMaker Mini Tut | Air Bubble Stained Glass Chrome Text with Reflections | Porcelain Text w/ Variegated Coloring | Realistic Knit PatternOpalescent Stained Glass | Frosted Snowman Cookie | Leather Texture | Plastic Text | Silk Embroidery Visit my Personal Website "Never, ever lose your sense of humor - you'll live longer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDale Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 (edited) @lynxster4 shame really, but that said I have noticed a lot more inactivity across the full forum, so many regular members have not logged in for a long time, but I agree if there is little interest, then there's no real purpose hosting or running it. You have done a top job doing it, let's hope it gains interest again. Edited February 25 by DrewDale 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tactilis Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 2 hours ago, DrewDale said: I have noticed a lot more inactivity across the full forum, so many regular members have not logged in for a long time That's not necessarily a completely negative thing, because it can be argued: As paint.net has becomes more capable with each release and the number of plugins has grown, many of the "I wish paint.net could do AAA, BBB, CCC" type of posts that were made in the past are no longer needed. As the number of posts on the forum along the lines of "How do I do XXX, YYY, ZZZ" grows and good answers are given, then it is more likely that people will find the solution to problems without having to ask a question. In support of 2) it should be noted that at anyone time (measured in blocks of 30 minutes), there are typically well over 100 Guest users (right now there are 155 Guests) who are searching the forum and reading previous topics. Guest users massively outnumber logged in members (at the moment there are just 4 online). So, IMO, the forum is doing a good job, even if the rate of new posts is lower than in the past. There may be other factors that result in waning support for SOTW and OotF, but I suspect that the above aspects play a part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximilian Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Although I completely understand the reasons behind the cancellation of the competition, I can't help feeling very sad about it in many ways. The signature contests encouraged me to learn a lot when I was a PdN novice, and I stopped participating nearly a year ago only because it was around the time when my dad's health began to decline faster than before, so I've been mostly caregiving for him and therefore unable to do much art. This time I had however managed to finish a couple portraits and convert them into signatures I was going to share last week, but then on Thursday last week his decline got even worse and lastly passed away on Sunday morning after nearly 25 years with Parkinson's. Despite everything, I want to share here the pieces I had made, just to prove that this time I had actually managed to complete something. But I like I said above, I understand it makes no sense to keep a contest running when there's such a little participation, which nonetheless brings me down anyway. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 So sorry @Maximilian to hear about your father, which is very sad indeed.

Djisves Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 my condolences @Maximilian --------- This will be at home in the "rants" thread. After many months, I finally have time enough to play with PdN and return to the forum and I find the SOTW competition cancelled 😞 Thank you @lynxster4 for hosting for so long and also for keeping it going, along with a few others, most notably @Pixey 👏 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynxster4 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 So sorry to hear about your father @Maximilian. My father also passed away from Parkinson's (geez, it's been 7 years now). It's a very rough time for the caregiver, especially when they are nearing the end, so I know what you went through. 😢 As @Pixey said, both comps are only temporarily suspended. They are not gone forever. Take care, Max. 🤗 2 Quote My Art Gallery | My Shape Packs | ShapeMaker Mini Tut | Air Bubble Stained Glass Chrome Text with Reflections | Porcelain Text w/ Variegated Coloring | Realistic Knit PatternOpalescent Stained Glass | Frosted Snowman Cookie | Leather Texture | Plastic Text | Silk Embroidery Visit my Personal Website "Never, ever lose your sense of humor - you'll live longer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
