MadJik Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Twistz (or Twist+) Effect Plugin What's this? Twistz: Z for zoom... Based directly on the source code of effect Twist from Paint.net (source vers. 3.10)... Just an idea to implement in a next Paint.net version... I was wondering why the twist effect is only working on a centered circle without effecting the edges of the image. Having a look at the source, I decided to add a zoom level to this effect. This is the same as the Twist effect with one more slider: __Zoom level (1 to 200, default=100). If the zoom is 100, the twist works as the original version. If the zoom is lower then the rendered image is emphased. If the zooom is higher then the image is reduced (background image remains). Try it ! This plugin is added to the menu Effects, submenu Distort. Download the DLL Plugin TwistZ.dll Here is the DLL The MadJik's All plugins package is available !http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?showtopic=7186 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 Quote My DeviantArt | My Pictorium | My Plugins | Donate via Paypal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kshotts Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Madjik - Yes! Thank you!!!!!!! Can't wait to get home and try this thing out. I was annoyed at the original Twist plugin too, but this looks AWESOME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman's Friend Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 One request: When you use twist or "twist +" with selections, it uses the entire pic to detect the center. Can there be a checkbox for using the whole twist only on a part of the image? (I mean that the center of the twist is not in the center of the entire picture but in the center of the selection.) I could imagine there are problems when the selection is rather complex, but developers are used to fight, aren't they...? Another option would just be to make the center of the twist moveable (x/y axis). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice name. 'TwistZ' fits, but to claim 'Twist+' it seems like you have a WIP on your hands...:wink: Quote Take responsibility for your own intelligence. 😉 -Rick Brewster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingstarswishingheart Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 This is great. I was thinking just the other day that the twist needed something more. Lovin it! Quote http://shootingstars.wishinghearts.googlepages.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it is still a 3 sliders UI (standard in PDN) it is easier to adapt. To add a check box will change a lot of code lines...

Hellfire010 Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 When you put the zoom up the entire picture is zoomed in and replaced over the image. If anything, I think there should be a checkbox, or just make it so, the image is removed behind the square thats zoomed. Example: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciated your work long before I joint the forum, and this is another wonderful dll for my effects folder. Thank you very much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadJik Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 Thank you all for good comments... ...Is it possible to add "Radius" control as in Twist radius? I don't see what you are telling about! You could make a selection first to choose a 'radius'.

You could make a selection first to choose a 'radius'. What I was asking is, if twistZ can twist the whole canvas(rectangle). It will only twist from top to bottom, left and right have some area not twisted. Using zoom will make it blurry. If it's not clear or you don't think it will work well, then never mind Either way, nice plugin Thanks!

Blooper Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Perfect! Unfortunately, I'm still waiting for something that will let me easily, without messing with selection, twist something from a certain spot on the canvas.

Both Zoom Blur Deluxe and Radial Blur Deluxe have awesome functionality and UIs, and that's what your quote reminded me of.
