Br4nd0nW 0 Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 I'm new and was referred by a friend. I was amazed with Paint.NET and what all it could do, even more amazed that it was free. I've only been at this for a couple weeks now and I feel that I'm a natural when it comes to making stuff. I usually only read a tutorial once (twice most) before I understand it. Here's my result: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yvil 0 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I didn't use it on text, but on a picture (I've been wanting to do this for a long time, and your tutorial is just very easy to follow, so I used your tutorial!). See my result here: (I've also added a littlebit of Zoom Blur) Quote - my website - Link to post Share on other sites

Then after making the second layer, the clouds, no matter what effect i made nothing changes in the picture. sorry for being novice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kat 0 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Just tried this tut - after the "how to start a fire"-tut (which was so easy to follow through) I thought this might also be easy enough for me. Well -- no, it wasn't considering the result. Yes it was easy to follow, but it came out a whole lot different than it should have. It's by far too "orderly". So far, I have no idea what I did wrong for it to come out THIS way. :?: I don't know.. maybe I should have done the clouds over and over again? Maybe I should have used a different -not so straight- font? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well anyway, I thought I might as well start playing around a bit and see what I can make of it - apart from the fact that I didn't get the letters to burn... so I created another level, copied the text on it and started playing (like always: didn't take any notes - I should be a bit more disciplined at my age *lol*). Well but here it is: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zac_nobody 0 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 ummm this is kinda what came out what do u think i did wrong? can u help please :?: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kat 0 Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 I made another one, this time trying to experiment a bit more with the pic. Here's what I got: I'm still not happy with the text part .. too orderly, not as fuzzy edges as shown in the tut. Maybe I am using "wrong" fonts? Or does anybody have a suggestion how I could get the "flames" more like flaming out of the letters? Haven't found a way to do it yet... to my own dismay. So, my playing around with the pic as a whole was kind of compensation for that, in order to make up a bit on what I think is still lacking on the clouds/text layer.

Atze Peng 0 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 [*:3rfbhjl7]Create the text layer, white on black:[*:3rfbhjl7]Use a large, blocky font[*:3rfbhjl7]Blur this layer with a gaussian blur so that the details of the text are still recognizable (holes in letters like 'A' shouldn't end up closed). One eighth the point size works well. The stronger the blur, the less readable the final output will be. [*:3rfbhjl7]Create the difference clouds layer [*:3rfbhjl7]Set the blending mode for the clouds layer to 'Negation'[*:3rfbhjl7]Render clouds with the scale for the clouds at roughly twice the font size.[*:3rfbhjl7]Repeat it a bunch to get a whispy look I dont get this part. What do I have to do excactly? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hecktor 0 Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Hello all, I've tried it very often to get that nice effect but it did'nt work. I'm from Germany so reading something english is not easy for me I've tried to translate it but there were always some probelms. Could someone send me the tutorial in german please? Screenshots won't be bad. Thank you for all, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Selvah 0 Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Yep, I registered here just to ask, what am I doing wrong, when the cloud and the text layer hide each other out of view? If I flatten the image, only the context on the layer on top ends up in the flattened image. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
