Matoyak Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 (edited) Sorry to ask, but I searched the forums (Using the search tool) and it doesn't seem like anyone has asked this before, but I recently came across a plug-in for Photoshop that is designed to achieve the "kirby dots" effect (Click Here to see the plugin page and some examples of the effect I'm talking about) and I thought it was a pretty cool visual effect. I was wondering if anyone has created a similar plug-in for Paint.net, and maybe just named it differently? Alternatively, does anyone have any idea as to a reliable way to create this effect without a plug-in? EDIT: And, well, if it doesn't exist as a plug-in yet, I guess this could also be a plug-in request too. I'm pretty sure someone out there could get some use out of it other than I...

himself22 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I don't make and haven't made any plugins but without a plugin, isn't it just black dots with a fancy colored background? I did the same here: I would suggest start with the big and medium, make a new layer and add your background color(and put it to the back), then select all of the larger dots, make a new layer in between the two you already have layer, select a color with a darker hue than your background color and fill it in, and gaussian blur, duplicate and merge, and edit transparency on that layer until you have what you want. Here's what I did (the background blur stinks) Quote "The truth is just an excuse for having a lack of imagination." Photobucket sucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matoyak Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 (edited) Well to be honest, what I was really hoping for was a way to use an image that has already been created and have the plug-in affect that. Not a texture per say, but like the "Fire!" plugin (not "flames", but "fire!"...) or the "majority" one. Either way, thanks for the tut though! I guess I could always work with layers and importing pictures to try to get it... Gracias. Edited April 6, 2010 by Matoyak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
