Jukecade Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Hi All I used Paintshop pro since its frist release but as it became a purchase product I moved to paint.net. I think Paint.net is great but there is one PSP feature I really miss and that is the MESH WARP option. So far looking at the Paint.net plugin's I have found nothing that replicates it. For those who dont know what Mesh Warp is lety me explain. Your picture is overlayed or divided in to sqares where any of the "squares" corners can be grabbed and pushed n pulled to warp that particular section. Examples: I would be so happy if someone could create a tool that does this or point me in the right direction to an existing plug-in. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 We don't have anything that does quite what Mesh Warp does. There are a couple of plugins that will do a smaller number of points: Point Warp and Evan Old's Quadrilateral Reshape For a completely freehand tool, try @pyrochild's excellent Liquify plugin (which is compatible with Photoshop MESH files - I suspect these are similar to what you're looking for).

Hi Thanks for these suggestions. I have checked them out and played around with them but they dont seem to replicate what I am looking for. Thanks anyway - appreciated the responses. If any one can help by creating a plugin that does this please please do so. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrickf Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Guys, any further thoughts on this one ? I too was a fan of PSPs mesh warp. I used it a lot to translate data from a rectolinear base to another format (non linear). Haven't found anything else that does it as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoltBait Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Since none of the usual suspects has taken up the challenge of writing this plugin... and you want it so badly... perhaps you should attempt it.

AhmedElyamani Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 i was thinking of a close effect and wrote some pseudo code a while previously. i'm happy to hear that pyrochild is working on this though ! . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pyrochild Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Progress report: It's unusable slow, blurs the whole image, uses straight lines instead of nice smooth curves, and can only stretch things about the distance you see above before it starts leaving weird artifacts everywhere, among many other problems, but it's coming along. 2 Quote ambigram signature by Kemaru [i write plugins and stuff] If you like a post, upvote it!

Red ochre Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Well, that's many, many times better than I/most of us could do ! Thank you - 'Liquify' is brilliant and I can see this tool being very useful too! More strength to your elbow - and if the qualifications don't go as planned - you will get 1000's of endorsements on your C.V from this forum. Many thanks - I find your plugins the most useful and ideally would like to see them 'built in' .(when I first discovered PDN, the problem was, no warping tool - a month later you created something way better!) Again thank you! 1 Quote  Red ochre Plugin pack.............. Diabolical Drawings ................Real Paintings  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midora Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 It's unusable slow, blurs the whole image, uses straight lines instead of nice smooth curves, and can only stretch things about the distance you see above before it starts leaving weird artifacts everywhere, among many other problems, but it's coming along. I implemented this once using B-Splines. To optimze the speed and fighting against the blur will be a small challenge for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim100361 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 (edited) I think this will be a great plugin addition when it's done. I'm certainly looking forward to it. I know you've got some issues to resolve, but do you think there will be any ability to set the mesh size? EDIT: Sorry, I guess I was so mesmerized by the picture, I wasn't looking at the details of the plugin itself.
