Popular Post TechnoRobbo Posted June 27, 2013 Popular Post Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) MODERATORS NOTE: this plugin has been superseded by a newer version: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/111622-distort-this-v29-july-3-2018/ TechnoRobbo's DistortThis! V2.7.5+ This is a distortion plugin (duh). Version 2.7.0+ adds manual value input and Persistent Data during session. Version 2.6.6 Adds X & Y Symmetry Option (Suggested by Pratyush) Version 2.6.5 Updated Render routine - to avoid potential issues Version 2.6.3 adds more control to Forced Perspective Version 2.6.2 -better preview. - select work area to distort. - better forced perspective Hidden Content: Version 2.5.3 Faster Version 2.5.1 will work with selections Version 2.5.0 Larger interface -Click and Drag Handles - single pixel accuracy Version 2.2 release fixes the full frame bug - allows more free form shapes Version 2.0 for PDN 4.0 Alpha Transparency for Concave Shapes also Faster - Streamlined Hit-Test Algorithm Controls default to Full Screen and Transparency Version 1.5 adds AlphaTransparency to Convex Shapes Version 1.7 allows you to create accurate perspective distortion Normally DistortThis! warps images as if your pulling stretching then corners. When Perspective is on the image is distorted as if it were 3D!!!! Menu: Effects->Distort The controls: V2.6.3 Forced Perspective Forced Perspective works by assuming that the short edge of the target polygon is closer to the vanishing point and the longer edge is closer to the viewer. Sometimes this may not be the case so 2.6.3 introduces the ability to adjust the amount of forced perspective to compensate..

Youtube Instructions for Alpha Transparency: http://youtu.be/vGne-wApXDg Perspective http://youtu.be/763tkM5Zh84 How it works: Distort This! is a texture mapping algorithm that takes a quadrilateral created by the control sliders, subdivides it into polygons, and use a cross product algorithm to find their relative area. The results are used to UV map the image.

Red ochre Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Definitely worth a rep!, Perhaps in VS you could set the default double vector positions to the corners? Good work! - thanks for publishing your code too - would have taken me lines and lines to do that! Good to keep EER busy too! Red ochre Plugin pack..............

Red ochre Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Hi TR,I'm still using 3.5.11 (on Vista), but thought I would try the new version of 'Distort this' but unfortunately no joy - (well I can't find it under the Distort menu as per the code). No plugin load errors - just doesn't show up - presumably pointing at the 4.5 net framework now?I wonder if it might be an idea to have two versions available?I think setting the default position vectors to the corners is a good idea (I had altered my old copy already - thanks for the code!).Very useful plugin.

TechnoRobbo Posted October 20, 2013 Author Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) Hey read, Your right it was compiled using Paint.net 4.0 Framework but it still maybe there. Check under : Effects-> Distort - Tr's Distort This! it used to be just "Distort This! Please, Let me it works in 3.5.11 BTW - I believe the controls at full screen was your idea. - Thanks Edited October 20, 2013 by TechnoRobbo Go out there and be amazing.

TechnoRobbo Posted October 20, 2013 Author Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) Mottoman just told me that none of the plugins compiled in 4.0 framework are working in 3.5.11 I'm going to have to repost the 3.5.11 versions. I reposted old versions of the changed plugins except doodlematic in my plugin pak post http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/26725-technorobbos-plugin-pak-oct-20-2013-1025am-cst/#entry393689 Edited October 20, 2013 by TechnoRobbo 1 Go out there and be amazing.

DrewDale Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Nice one for the older versions TR - I was going to PM you but it seems you have been alerted by Red & Mottoman. I installed the updates on my Win7 Laptop and could not see them either. I have .net framework 4.5 with all updates installed. Doodlematic is not showing up though. (Effects > Artistic) All your updated plug-ins are working fine in PDN 4 and Windows 8.1 pro.
TechnoRobbo Posted October 20, 2013 Author Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) I've also tested them on PDN 4 with Windows 7 - It's PDN 3.5.11 that doesn't recognize them. Doodlematic was a causalty of my absent-mindedness. I didn't back the 3.5 version up. I shall recompile it on old Vista Machine and post it later.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Yup. Targetting .NET 4.0 instead of 3.5 results in the plugin not showing up in paint.net 3.5.11. http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/4209-how-to-debug-your-plugin/?p=343340 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
TechnoRobbo Posted October 20, 2013 Author Posted October 20, 2013 Hard Lesson learned had to boot up my old Vista Machine and man did it take long to update.

midora Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Does your code require special PDN4 or .NET4 functionality? If not then there is no need to create two versions. See here
TechnoRobbo Posted October 24, 2013 Author Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) Does your code require special PDN4 or .NET4 functionality? If not then there is no need to create two versions. When I installed 4.0 my VS references were invalid so I had to use net 4.0 Since it's not backwards compatible all the changes that I needed for PDN 4.0 UI changes got compiled in Net 4.0 I rebooted my old Vista Computer (with 3.5.11) and rebuilt the changed plugins so noone using the plugins would be disenfranchised. I will be loading the (when I can get to it) VS on the Vista machne and making the plugin universal. So the answer to your question is - it's transitional and good customer service.
