TakeMangaka Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Look for Ash's Gem Tutorial. Quote I'm BRAZILIAN! I love Anime Art! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I wouldn't go for that myself. Personally, I would draw a circle, add some shine with lowered opacity (F4 on the relevant layer), then finally add the design and maybe that too with lower opacity. Really, only four layers are necessary: base circle, shine, design and the gold connector from the jewel to the band. If you wish for detailed instructions just ask. Hope this swings you in the right direction . Quote How to Save Your Images under Different File Types My dA Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireBender88 Posted August 5, 2007 Author Share Posted August 5, 2007 well im fairly new at this so om confused about everything ^^;;; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeMangaka Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Well, doesn't the GlassButton Tutorial pretty much works for this? Quote I'm BRAZILIAN! I love Anime Art! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I haven't looked at it, though I assuming so, yes. Maybe with a modification or two to meet needs. I'm sure TakeMangaka could provide a link if you can't find it (although you could try Search first :wink:). Even if you're still new to all this, your request can easily be accomplished and is a good start in using Paint.NET.

FireBender88 Posted August 5, 2007 Author Share Posted August 5, 2007 oh thats really pretty! could you make a tutorial out of that?! ^^ and like I said I AM fairly new to this, another unfortunate thing is that im one of those blonde, ditzy, airheads xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Draw the patterns. Use plugin Shape3d. Adjust And you are done. Hint: Shape3d use sphere, lower the depth radius, since the pendant is quit flat. You might need to try a few time to get the patterns in the right palce.

FireBender88 Posted August 5, 2007 Author Share Posted August 5, 2007 yeah, I have downloaded a few plugins but I dont understand how to instal it I read the "how to" part of the forum on it but I still dont get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 What steps have you done so far? for the plugins. Quote All creations Ash + Paint.NET [ Googlepage | deviantArt | Club PDN | PDN Fan ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireBender88 Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 ummm well I read to "extract" it after downloading it but I had no clue what that meant so what I did is I just copied it, went to where the paint.net file is, went to effects, and pasted it there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 The file you put in the effect folder are .DLL files. If you see .Zip files. you will have to "extract" it, before you put em in the effect folder.

FireBender88 Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 huh? o.O (sorry if im being frustrating, as I said im not too bright ^^;;; ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Man Dan Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 The icon of the folder you downloaded will have a zipper on it. Right-click on this folder and select Extract All... Click Next twice, then Finish, and Windows will open up a new window with the DLL sitting in it. Copy this file into the Effects folder.

BoltBait Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 She may not see the file type... If you can't see file types, go to My Documents: Make sure the check box is unchecked, then click "Apply to all folders" and "OK".

FireBender88 Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 hmmmmm I tried that and nothing changed plus I saved the plugin on my desktop and nothing changed there either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Everything looks good there. Let's see what's in your "Effects" folder. Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoltBait Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 OK, you need to download this file: http://mkt.t-cat.biz/pdn/dl.cgi?mode=dl ... 3D_1_2_4_2 Which will download Shape3D_1_2_4_2.zip save it to your desktop. After it is finished downloading, click the Open button (or double click on the Shape3D_1_2_4_2.zip file) This will open a window that lists a single file: Shape3D.dll you need to copy that file to your Effects folder.

FireBender88 Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 hmmmmm ok but what about other plugins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 All plugins are DLL files and therefore need to be copied to your Effects folder. (That is, unless they are filetype plugins. Tha'sa whole nother thang.) I see you have "feather.dll" in there. Does "feather" show up under Effects > Blur > Feather ?

Ash Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 It's about the same for all plugins. EDIT: oops too slow Quote All creations Ash + Paint.NET [ Googlepage | deviantArt | Club PDN | PDN Fan ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
