Mike Ryan Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 In the new version if all of the settings were blank then it would run a black and white copy of the layer as mask. It doesn't do that anymore, instead not running any mask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguba Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 Oh wow, that's a shame. You're plugin does provide a suitable work-around however Quote aguba.deviantart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarkut Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 You're plugin does provide a suitable work-around however aguba, You might want to clarify that statement. It sounds like you are telling people that they can do your tutorial successfully using Mike's plugin as an alternative to the Alpha Mask Import plugin.

Sarkut Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 The tutorial includes loading a mask using Browse, for example. I didn't see a browse function on the UI of Isolate White / Black. If it will do everything the tutorial requires that's great. Can it use the values from one layer as a mask for another layer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguba Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 Sorry, my bad. I meant that it creates a workaround for that specific part of the tutorial, where you don't have to load any alpha masks. The Alpha Mask Import plugin is still required. Quote aguba.deviantart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrochild Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Aguba, I've written a new plugin called Trail that should make step 3 of this tutorial much faster.

Ben Arie Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 (edited) Hello, this is my result (attached). It's a bit lighter than yours. I didn't figure out how to apply the gradient to the white lines, so I instead used gaussian blur and applied a glow. At the end, instead of turning light to 0 I turned it up a bit. I didn't use Vignette. Edit: This is my first try at this so it's not very original but I need to learn for now. I will be more original in my creations.

Helena Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 (edited) Wow, you're right when you say that this tutorial requires a lot of time and patience... it took me hours, but I've learnt a lot of useful things, thank you for share your techniques.

BulsAye Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I had trouble in a certain section of the tutorial, but besides that thiss was a really good tutorial. I'm new to PdN, but i'm learning pretty fast. Please tell me what you think. ( Any critiques ) would be nice. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talionYzero Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Here's my go Not the best, but I tried; maybe someday I'll try it again with more luck. Good tutorial though.

Pixey Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Wow! What an amazing tutorial - for which many thanks. I will not admit to how long I took to do this ..... but it was many,many hours. I learned a lot but, like Ben Arie before me, I could not select and put a gradient to the white lines either. Bother!

Sarkut Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Pixey, To put a gradient to the white lines, you want to use a transparent radial gradient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aguba Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 Been gone for awhile. Brilliant results guys, nice work. Aguba, I've written a new plugin called Trail that should make step 3 of this tutorial much faster. Excellent plugin pyro, definitely speeds things up. I may update the tutorial to include its use.

Kaddl89 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Hey I'm very new in Paint.net but I love this tutorial. You guys have all so great results... I've tried it so often ( really often ! with letters, circles... ) But I can't get an good looking result The funny thing is, on every try, I made different mistakes. Forgot layers, used false plugins... so I'm still trying to draw in 3 Dimensions and if I get anytime an result nearly goodlooking like yours, I will post it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaddl89 Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Well from all My Trys on this Tutorial, I think this is actually the best one Thanks very much for this tut. I just love this oytcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) It turned out good enough, but I wish it were better. I was actually trying to get it to look closer to your signature, aguba. Though, I used a different shading technique and went overboard on it. This was the second attempt, which is way better than my first was. Therefor, my next attempt shall be up to my standards. [: Excellent tutorial. Thanks! Here's my third try: I think it's better, but I couldn't quite get the shine right.

oliviathn Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 (edited) I worked with a lot of 3D before and found some of the differences of style with controls. For example, if you have two levels of circles then set in black color and other is white color, After that just set it in lighter than the second object which is darker. Now It looks so good and awesome pictures or image. Edited August 5, 2010 by oliviathn Quote iphone cases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musiphonix Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I did it! The image used as the "Shape" is my creation as well. Great tutorial! PS. The step that uses the feather plugin. There's a much easier way of doing it: 1. Use the magic wand tool to select the black area. 2. Use the "Outline Selection" plugin and fiddle about with the width. 3. Use alpha mask to remove the remaining black. I say this is easier, but that's just my personal preference.
