stew1111 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Just wanted to say hi and mention how totally mind blowing the tutorials are. I can tell I'm going to be losing a lot of sleep on account of finding you guys...lol Looking forward to trying some of the techniques. You people really are good and you have a very helpful community from what I have seen. Question/Request: Could someone post a tut on making a package for an ebook. I would like to be able to make my own. You see these things all over the net, they look like a cereal box with graphics and text, complete with shadow and reflection, and I always wondered how they did them. From the quality of the work I've seen here, it should be no problem, other than putting in a form that this noob can understand. Thanks Paint like no ones watching Stew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattBlackLamb Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=3305 That should help you make the box bit, then you'll need something like the Wet floor reflection plugin to get the desired reflection. Hope that helps. Quote dA Son, someday you will make a girl happy for a short period of time. Then she'll leave you & be with men that are ten times better than you can imagine.

stew1111 Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 Congratulations - you're my first reply to my first post. Thank you for the link. I look forward to trying it out. Not sure about the Wet Floor code though. That is bit of a stretch for me. Appreciate the reply and Nice Work to Buzzkill!

MattBlackLamb Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 The wet floor thing is really easy to use & install. To install it all you need to do is put the file you download into your paint.net effects folder(make sure PDN isn't running at the time). Then Start up Paint.net then load up or make the image & play with the parameters of the effect until it looks good. Quote dA Son, someday you will make a girl happy for a short period of time.

Yata Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 By paint.net effect folder he means this: c:/program files/paint.net/effects replace the forward slash with a back slash.

MattBlackLamb Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I do mean that, but Yata is assuming that you installed it to the default directory.

Yata Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Which most people do. I think it would be quite useless to install it to say...oh.. your desktop Quote "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former" [ dA Paint.NET Chat :: Yata on dA ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
