jim100361 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) Actually, if you look where the red circles are, the corners are not rounded. The only 1 corner that an appearance of being rounded is the one indicated by the blue circle and it appears there's a misalignment of the red lines that frames the butterfly image that may have been caused by a/the plugin which created the cube (my guess - I haven't read the tutorial). Nonetheless, in the places where corners are apparent (like indicated by the red circles above), the eraser should suffice to erase the points off and round 'em out. As for the area that is indicated by the blue circle, the smudge tool ( http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?showtopic=10634 ) may do the trick.

pdnnoob Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) Actually, there is a "round edges" option in the shape3D plugin. It's right underneath the scaling options if you scroll down. I think, however, that this is not the effect you are looking for.nvm, but I'll leave the rest of my post just in case It appears that this snoewite person pretty much just followed the tutorial to get the edges like that. What you need to do is make the gridlines from step 2 thick and have them on a separate layer. Then, metallize them somehow (either with displacement map or with bevel+curves) and use shape3D to form them into a cube. It's really just the perspective and the confusing highlights that make some of the edges look round in the picture Edited January 13, 2012 by pdnnoob Quote No, Paint.NET is not spyware...but, installing it is an IQ test. ~BoltBait Blend modes are like the filling in your sandwich.
