dawn Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Nothing special. I drew an asterisk (with the cross spokes on different layers) and then played with various blurs and color balance/hue-sat till I got something I liked. I think I also did some gradient fade outs. (Basically fading from the center out to black.) Just play around with pdn, and I'm sure you'll be able to come up with something similar fairly easily.

joshx Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I miss this feature in paint shop pro. I quit using psp ever since corel bought it and ruined it, and photoshop doesn't have this feature. SO this is awesome I've been looking for something like this. good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Madjik,I downloaded from the zipped file from the first page, unzipped the file, sent the plugin to the effects folder, and confirmed its presence there as seamlesshelper. Ran it on a picture but the plugin executed without any interface and therefore there was no user choice inputs available. Am I downloading the correct plugin or file?

Ash Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 You got the wrong file, http://jcljay.free.fr/pdn/SeamlessTextureMaker.zip It's the maker not the helper Quote All creations Ash + Paint.NET [ Googlepage | deviantArt | Club PDN | PDN Fan ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidtayhs Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Thanks for the help but I discovered that I've been looking for the plugin in the wrong place! Searched desperately in the Effects drop down list, and in the Render section to no avail, and then discovered it in Effects-->Distort! Thought it was on its own like the earlier seamless plugins. Apologies for ignorance! Wonder if this plugin should not really be located in the Render section of the Effects instead of the Distort section? Also think that its location could be in the first posting instead of being found in an example in a subsequent posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_Lyons4 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Hi, this is a really cool plugin. It seems to me that it would be one of the most handy plugins available IMO. I was wondering though it it was possible for it to do the following (And maybe there's a setting that I'm missing). 1) Have it expand the canvas size when it mirrors things. If it's 20 X 20, it would then be 40 X 40. 2) Is it possible to perform a half drop with this plugin? This would be TREMENDOUSLY helpful. I don't know if everyone knows what a half drop is, but it can be looked at like a 5 domino, where each dot is an image. Thanks Again for a really cool plugin (Among others).
