czhou Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I just started using PDN a few weeks ago and I love it! I don't have any previous experience with image editing, but now I'm really into it. I want to make a wallpaper for my computer and I need to make a water splash effect, but don't know how to. Couldn't find it in the tutorial section either. Could someone please help me? thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user24 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 do you mean a water reflection? there's a plugin for that: http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=2911 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czhou Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 I was thinking more like these effects: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Lionhearted Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Man...that would take a LOT of programming and a Tibetan monk to do...but alas I'm all out of monks. However, if it was possible, it would be one of the coolest effects ever! Quote My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picc84 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Those are photographs, not effects. I belive he realises this, but could not find a digitaly created image like this, and this is the kind of "looking" effect he wants to acheive...

Helio Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 That's pretty good, User24! The only thing I would suggest is maybe linking the droplets. I think it gives a little more of a realistic look. Here's my attempt: I think it's a little too blury. Comments?

usedHONDA Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I think it looks pretty good although, because I'm on my Mac, the color is way too light and I need to put the screen way back to see it (if you have a flat-panel, you would know what I mean).

user24 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 the color is way too light yeah, my laptop screen's contrast is rubbish. If you reduce contrast and increase brightness, you'll see it better.. I'll try to remember to compensate for that in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user24 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Helio; that's awesome, dude! lionheart: I don't consider myself a pro at all; I only started using PDN for anything other than cropping and brightness adjustments when I joined this forum. majik: I like the 'oil candle' one, it's got a good texture to it.
