Pratyush 92 Report post Posted September 12, 2014 Hi TR, Its great plugin. It will be definitely the one of the most used plugin. You are so fast in completing the someone's request. P.S. What about the request that i made ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eli 1,005 Report post Posted September 13, 2014 Thank you. Now I can make a "Where is Waldo?" game. A couple of requests: 1. an option to add a drop shadow (just to give an impression of depth). 2. An option to keep the scattered image inside the edges of the main page or a selected area. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TechnoRobbo 1,157 Report post Posted September 13, 2014 2. An option to keep the scattered image inside the edges of the main page or a selected area. The plugin uses selections to mask the image. 1. an option to add a drop shadow (just to give an impression of depth). That would be a big rewrite. right now it's random sizes. In order to include visual cues for depth, I would have to render small to large, offset silhouette first. I'll play around with it,but no promises. BTW. I found Waldo.

Pratyush 92 Report post Posted September 13, 2014 Thank you and I'm sorry but I've forgotten, what was the request? Don't mind if you do not remember. I had sent you a plug-in request in a PM ages ago. (long before i introduced myself in forum) I had thought that this plugin would be more complex than other plugins, so it might take much time to complete. If that happened, I didn't wanted that anyone had who got interested in request and had to wait long. So, i didn't requested in forum making a new topic. I will send you another mail asking for that. If possible, please look into that. . Anyway, thanks for all your efforts. I like them very much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red ochre 1,434 Report post Posted September 13, 2014 Re Drop shadows.Include a semi-transparent shadow in your original image eg. http://i.imgur.com/PU8GywP.png Creates a reasonable depth effect. http://i.imgur.com/zTMgTrP.png Request:Is there any chance of limiting the amount of random rotation with a slider, 0 to 360?If awkward don't worry - it could be very useful if possible though. Thanks for considering.Great plugin! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eli 1,005 Report post Posted September 13, 2014 I thought about Red ochre's solution for the drop shadow and yes it gives the impression of depth. However, the shadow looks like it came from multiple light sources not one. I also think that an option to control rotation would be a good idea. For my second request I meant to have an option to keep, for example, in this image, all the mapple leaves inside a selection without being cropped at the edges of the selected area. Thanks for the Rep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TechnoRobbo 1,157 Report post Posted September 13, 2014 Red and Eli, Nice work around but I got it covered. One important note - I did not take in to account the Z-order of the objects - smaller objects do not get occluded by larger ones. Shadows are easy. Z-Order would be the big re-write. Z-order can be accomplished by multiple layers. Version 1.1 uploaded - Shadow system in place.
