williamhernandez Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Hi all. I'm quite new to the Paint.NET plugins business, but do development for a living. The first plugin I've tried to make is a generator for the glass orbs you see a lot nowadays, like this one: You can find a tutorial about how to make them by hand here. Well, I won't keep you waiting, here's the download...Enjoy... well what language is that page? i tried translating it but it didn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the-silent-9 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 im sorry, but i think makeing orbs by hand is kinda better cuz its fun. makeing a plug in for everything defeats the purpose of tools like the pencil and stuff. kool nonethless though. the lambda symbol is the scientific symbol of all things decaying over a rapid period of time. Or in a different subject, the photographers term of an object moveing so fast it blurs the picture puposefully. my deviant art/ my OLD sig tutorial my myspace... it has more photos then DA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sk8rboy1091 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 pretty cool... a glass orb was the very first thing i ever learned to do with paint.net way back when i first got it... when 2.5 was released... this will save me a bit of time now... thx! if you have any better suggestions for my sig, pm me...

Generation IX Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I agree. Thanks for the plugin. Even though it does look more like an oval when it renders, it can always be cropped to the desired outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moma_nina Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Ok I love the idea but... When I went to down load it it's all in German (I think) so I can't figure out where to click to down load (Sorry My germans a bit rusty lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiirus Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I understand a bit Dutch so... Het opgevraagde bestand/pagina is niet bekend Het kan zijn dat je de verkeerde naam gebruikt. Controleer ook of er geen spaties of spelfouten in staan en probeer het opnieuw. Zoek anders de juiste naam in deze bestandenlijst van Ziggo-internetters Naar de homepage van Ziggo This would mean that the Download is broken, right? I'd really like to try this Plugin. Could you fix it please? I'm still learning, trying to get better. Critics, even bad ones, help me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbits Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 You have to think in 3 dimensions, know something about the light source, and know something about the surface. The discussion below gives a good approximation of the lighting for any curved surface in more than 2 dimensions. If you look at the mathematics of reflection from a curved surface you find (for one light source) intensity[x,y] = Light intensity * reflectance of surface[x,y,z] * cos(angle of incidence[x,y,z]) * cos(angle of view[x,y,z]) The first part is, the intensity of the light times the fraction of light reflected at that spot (a cue ball reflects more than a ball of mat black wall). We can ignore this for the purpose of painting. The angle of incidence is the angle between the light source and the point on the surface. It turns out that the fraction of light reflected is the cosine of that angle. The same goes for the angle between the surface and the viewer's eye. As an approximation, one can use the line between the point on the sphere and the light source and the angle to that line of the sphere surface at that point. Call that angle C. The intensity reduction due to the angle is then cos© squared. As you draw the sphere, you calculate the angle of the centre of the sphere and the part of the sphere represented by the pixel. You then have the information to colour the pixel. You can modify this by the fuzziness of the surface, the reflectance in each of the primary colours, and any other light sources. The orbs you see in ads and other pictures are usually done with a 3-D program that uses a technique called "Ray Tracing" to calculate the colour and intensity of each pixel. Martin Katz, Ph.D. P.S. I used to teach computer graphics programming as a college class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
