MadJik Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Grid and checker board Effect Plugin What's this? This is a plugin under Effect/Render menu. Thanks to BoltBait and Illnab1024 who created the original version and published the sources of it. This effect will help you to create grids and/or checker boards and some other stuff (just let run your imagination...) _________________ Download it!

Mode (choose from): __Grid lines __Checker board __Dotters Drawing position (choose from): __Top left: The grid starts at the top-left corner of the image... __Centered on lines: The grid is positioned to have two lines crossing at the center of the image... __Centered on area: The grid is positioned to have the surface of a cell centered at the center of the image... __Bottm right: The grid ends at the bottom-right corner of the image... Others options: __Alpha only: the effect fills only transparent area. __Foreground only: only draws the primary color. __Swap color. __Line width: Is a slider to select the brushwidth "live". By default it is set to 2. __Variation: (with Dotters only) The dot diameter will change based on the color of picture (beta)... Voilà ! Tips : Dots in Grid Fill each cell of the grid with a circle. The radius is the minimum value between horizontal and vertical grid step. You could use the brush width to create a "gap" between circles. Use the brushwidth to create some kind of tartan : 1 Quote My DeviantArt | My Pictorium | My Plugins | Donate via Paypal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattBlackLamb Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 It's one of the Enormator's effects. Edit: I just had a quick check & it isn't sorry.

SwampJack Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Many thanks to MadJik (and earlier builders) for the Gridmaker plugin. This solves an immediate problem for me. I particularly needed the ability to control grid size and line width, something I haven't figured out how to do with the pattern options for the paintbrush fill selections. However, being a pig, I'd like to see more pattern options than simply grid and checkerboard. The paint brush fill patterns, for example.

barkbark00 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Hey MadJik, I feel bad making another request, but, would you be able to add a "Dots in Checker Board" option? Let me know what you think...

MadJik Posted May 29, 2007 Author Share Posted May 29, 2007 1.Do the dots on one layer. 2.Do the checker with the same setting on another layer. 3.Layer blend mode additive. Voilà ... And before you ask, I can't antialias the dots... :oops: Quote My DeviantArt | My Pictorium | My Plugins | Donate via Paypal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkbark00 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 MadJik, the same thing can be done solely in your plugin(running it twice...). I was just trying to eliminate the extra steps... And before you ask, I can't antialias the dots... :oops: Don't worry, for my purposes I need to blur them anyway.
