Popular Post Red ochre Posted May 14, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2014 Helix Draws a range of helical, and spiral shapes with many choices of shapes and colours. keywords: helix, spiral, D.N.A, screwthread, twist, spiral staircase, dwarves. I have taken the liberty of creating a new menu name for this. It is found under Effects/Iterative lines. (I intend to update 'Slinky' to the same menu name and also some others in a similar style). The User interface is quite large but on my screen (1440 by 900 pix) it can easily be resized to fit without needing to scroll. I have removed some control titles to make the U.I. smaller - but it should still be clear what they do. The effect makes everything other than the helix transparent, so best use on a new layer each time. The colour option 'from source image' uses that layer's colours - so try running it on a duplicated layer for best results. (Thanks Technorobbo for help with 'paths'). Helix is in my latest plugin pack here:Red ochre plugin pack 10 Below are some examples, enjoy! 10 Quote Red ochre Plugin pack..............

Red ochre Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 Thanks Cc4FH.Mottoman and Drew - good results, many thanks for posting them. (sorry Drew out of reps today).Hi TR, thanks for the positive feedback - I wanted a starting point for making spiral staircases but got carried away abusing the GDI+! - some of the more exotic twisty things are just 'happy accidents' from experimentation.Thanks all for your support.

skullbonz Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) I also love your plugins Red. I agree with TR,lots of fun. Here's one with Helix with some Fur Blur and Cobweb. I might be on to something when I made the stars out of some noise and Cobweb in small sizes,hmmm. I have to experiment with that one.

Cc4FuzzyHuggles Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) Nice results everyone. Thanks Red for the plugin. I've been toying around with the plugin a bit too. It made me think of sound frequencies, so I bet there's a rhythm to be found with it! Haha. :music: :music: Edited May 18, 2014 by Cc4FuzzyHuggles 3 Quote *~ Cc4FuzzyHuggles Gallery ~* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red ochre Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Thanks TR - good to see you playing with the plugins - Thank you for all the time you put in, creating plugins and behind the scenes stuff. Nice image btw - I see some Klumpnoiz! Nice one skullbonz - a colour explosion on a distant planet! - thanks for posting the image. Cc4FH - I like it - good use of the plugin - besides the musical theme, the slight blur/glow gives the impression of a C.R.T. oscilliscope/heart monitor too - I can feel the beat man!

Marilynx Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Okay... I am new to PDN. This plug in was recommended to me as a possibility for creating a DNA helix. I got it installed. I pull it up... and I don't understand ANY of it. I don't know what the controls do. I looked at the thread, and there's some great stuff that can be done with it, but... how? What do each of the controls DO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red ochre Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 Hi Marilynx,The best way to learn what a plugin's controls do is just to play with them! You won't break anything (I hope) and if you want to set them back to default click the little reset arrow at the end of the slider.I recommend running it on a new layer as this make it easier to manipulate later in your image.The two square boxes (double vector controls) affect the start and end positions, all the rest of the controls have names which describe what they do.

Marilynx Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Hi Marilynx, The best way to learn what a plugin's controls do is just to play with them! You won't break anything (I hope) and if you want to set them back to default click the little reset arrow at the end of the slider. I recommend running it on a new layer as this make it easier to manipulate later in your image. The two square boxes (double vector controls) affect the start and end positions, all the rest of the controls have names which describe what they do. Well, I have played with it, and since I'm looking for a specific effect, like a base pattern for a nice twist of DNA, preferably made of tiny, irregular pearls, it's getting a little frustrating that I can't figure out how to which control does what. Now, I grant you that I am probably being extremely impatient, since, just about now, I've been using PDN for a whole whopping month. However, your last sentence about the double vector controls just explained something which I did not know and had not figured out. So, I'll go back to tinkering.

MJW Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Plugin threads are like vampires: they live forever. 11) Don't reply to very old threads. Also known as "reviving" or "resusitating" old/dead threads. Also called "necroposting" (eww). If there has been no discussion in a thread for, say, 3 months ... then it is dead. Do not reply to it -- pretend like it is locked. If you reply to it, then the thread will be immediately locked and your post may be deleted. Please just create a new thread if you have something to say about that subject. However, this rule does not apply to The Overflow, Tutorials, Pictorium, or Plugins sections of the forum.
