Bars plugin (ymd:100725)

Bars Effect Plugin

 

What's this?

This plugin will generate two colored bars from a border of the image with a random length.

The ratios are here to reduce/increase the maximum length/width of the bars.

 

 

Download it!

Plugin Bars.dll

Here is the DLL

 

The MadJik's All plugins package is available !

How to install

Close Paint.net

 

Classic version of Paint.net

Unzip and (re)place the DLL in your Effect folder usually: C:/Program Files/Paint.NET/Effects

 

Microsoft Store version of Paint.net

Unzip and (re)place the DLL in your Effect folder usually: /My Documents/paint.net App Files/Effects/

You have to adapt for your language My Documents

 

 

The User interface

This is a plugin under Effect/Render.

Choose the edge to start from:

Select the border top, bottom, left or right.

Widthness of the bars:

Select the brush width used to draw the lines.

Length of the Primary color bar in% :

Choose the maximum length in %. A random value is determinated in this range.

Length of the Secondary color bar in% :

Choose the maximum length in %. A random value is determinated in this range.

The secondary color bar is drawn after the first bar.

So the maximum length in % could be the sum of these two values.

Transparency:

Choose the transparency amount.

Fit the length to the size of the image:

The secondary bar is drawn from the first bar to the opposite edge. The whole image is filled with bars.

Invert primary/secondary colors:

Only switch the colors, not the ratios.

Reseed:

Click this button to recalculate the bars.

 

 

Some examples:

For this examples, I have created a green 300x300 image, Red as PrimColor, Blue as 2ndColor.

1. Bars:

...Edge=Left

...Widht=1

...Primary=50%

...Secondary=50%

 

2. Explosion:

...Edge=Bottom

...Widht=1

...Primary=50%

...Secondary=50%

...Rect to Polar conversion.

 

3. Splats:

...Do an explosion (see previous example).

...Run the Majority Effect: Mode=1, Radius=10, Tolerance=175.

 

4. Hair (work better in image width is 2 times the height):

...Edge=Left

...Widht=1

...Primary=25%

...Secondary=25%

...Polar inversion.

...Rotate the image Clockwise (Ctrl+H).

...Cut out / Tint / Etc...

 

Original image from the web:

5. Star

...Combine Explosion and Kaleidoscope:

 

Voilà !

[The_Lionhearted]

Nice job Madjik! Keep up the good work!

[Jud@s]

Good job MadJik! I'm sure I can use this sooner or later. I'll probally end up putting hair on all the pics of me that I got on my PC... the upper side of my head is a Bruce Willis look alike.

@MadJik: Great idea on the grass

[MadJik]

I would say I did wrong spelling to let some of you use the codelab. :wink:.

But it's not the case, so I've updated the zip (agian :oops:).
