DrCarrot Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I've used paint.net for a year or so now, no arty stuff just mainly messing around splicing pics together. I have never been able to figure out how to do something like the pic below though. I mean I can get in the rough area of it but never quite as good as this. What do you even call this? Morphing? I've searched for tutorials on it but can't find any. I'm sure it's not massively difficult to do but I just can't figure it out! Thanks.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Hi DrCarrot - Welcome! How about calling it Texture Mapping? In this case we're mapping a biscuit onto Lionel (and vice versa). The first place I'd look is at this plugin: http://forums.getpai...-effect-plugin/. This should give you the basic ability to map Lionel's features onto something else. After that careful blending of the original and texture mapped images is required. This tutorial might give you some ideas: http://forums.getpai...ng-image-heavy/ Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrCarrot Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 Thanks for this. I've managed to get the face onto the biscuit but I can't seem to get it as clear as the image show here, driving me mad! Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim100361 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 You may try duplicating the face layer and erasing everything except the eyes and mouth and put that layer on the top so that those characteristics aren't affected by the texture and are then more pronounced.

DrCarrot Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 So I've been trying all day practically and I can't get it to look like the one pictured. It's absolutely infuriating. Surprised there's no tutorial for this, given that it appears to be an extremely common thing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim100361 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Post a pic so folks can hopefully get an idea of what is going on and maybe suggest something else/more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
