Jeania Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Need some suggestions as to plugins that would help create an Ambigram*. I'm looking to make one for promise/couples/wedding ring; but the generator that is available online has atrocious fonts :l And frankly, I'd like one that's actually legible ^^ I've been a member/user of paint.net for a long time; but i'm not nearly at the caliber most of you are. Could really use some help in figuring out how to create this. Thank you so much edit: corrected a word Edited February 23, 2015 by Ego Eram Reputo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe_head2001 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Just to clarify, do you want to make anagrams or ambigrams?

Ego Eram Reputo Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 There is no automatic technique available. The few that you'll see on the forum have been crafted by hand. @pyrochild has a neat one in his sig (by @Kemaru) and I crafted one for BoltBait here http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/8128-image-hospital-help-with-image-problems-here/page-36#entry402296 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...
Jeania Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Aye I figured there's no auto tech; but i was hoping there'd be something that'd help to create the combination other then just the layering. But def appreciate the reply Had to at least ask Edited February 22, 2015 by Jeania Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 When making this one The technique I found most useful was to understand that the right hand side of the image is a rotational transformation of the left. So, what I did was just focused just on the left hand side. When I had finished changes I duplicated the layer and rotated the new layer by 180 degrees. I used paint.net's built in rotate/Zoom tool (press Ctrl + Shift + Z). The outer ring of the roll control + the Shift key makes rotations by 180 degrees easy. The Pan control makes it easy to realign the rotated image to line up with the left.

Cc4FuzzyHuggles Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I can't really help you with the text effect you are wanting. But I noticed how you said you didn't like the fonts of some online generators. Thinking about font though, the font you use will probably play a key role in make the text effect you want. So, not sure if you are interested, but you can find fonts to use in paint.net from this free legal website : http://www.1001fonts.com/. There is also DaFont, but you sometimes need to pay closer attention to a font's licensing terms there. (Paint.net just uses the fonts that are installed on your PC, so downloading and installing any fonts onto your PC and placing them into your font folder will gain you more fonts in paint.net.)

Ego Eram Reputo Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 The trouble with unmodified fonts is that they are built to be viewed one way. Turning them over via an ambigram is probably not going to produce the desired results. A well chosen font will make roughing out an ambigram easier though.
