FirePheonix Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Can someone make a plugin that allows me to make a motion blur and curve the blur? I need it for like a lightsaber-waving-effect. If some code guy (I'm not that guy ) could make a plugin like that, I would really appriciate it :wink: . It would make my life so much easier. Quote Hey!

usedHONDA Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 In reality, you can just use the radial blur. Just copy and paste the light of the light saber into a new image, put it in the position you want (results will differ from the location of the "light"), then just use the radial blur. Afterwards, you can stretch it to your will.

FirePheonix Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 How do I get the light of it? and then, how do I put my lightsaber on top :? ? Quote Hey! Check this out>>> [my site] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedHONDA Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Well if your light saber's swoosh is disappearing, try duplicating the layer once or twice. Here's a quick swooshing light sabar (done in black so it's easier to see): Quote "The greatest thing about the Internet is that you can write anything you want and give it a false source." ~Ezra Pound twtr | dA | tmblr | yt | fb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirePheonix Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 wait- Is my lightsaber supposed to be on a layer with a transparent background and the radial blurs on other layers? :? Quote Hey! Check this out>>> [my site] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usedHONDA Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I got an idea! 1. Download the transparency adjustment: http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=3285 2. Install 3. Use the adjustment to make the image almost fully opaque 4.

MattBlackLamb Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I think (from my very limited knowledge of PDN) that you raidial blurred too much.

pyrochild Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Also, radial blur only blurs from the center so you will be able to create a much better look by moving the lightsaber to a position more like that in usedHONDA's example, do the blur, then move it back to where you want it.
